Summary: | This paper is devoted to the problems of exponential stability and stabilization for piecewise-homogeneous Markovian switching complex-valued neural networks with incomplete transition rates (TRs). Both the time-varying delays and the coefficient matrices are switched among finite modes governed by a piecewise-homogeneous Markov process, where the TRs of the two-level Markov processes are assumed to be time-varying during different intervals. On the basis of an appropriately chosen Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, some mode-dependent sufficient conditions are presented to guarantee the unforced network to be exponentially mean-square stable. Then, by proposing certain mode-dependent state feedback controller, stabilization criteria are derived through strict mathematical proofs. At the end of the paper, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
