ABSTRACT
In this paper, the global exponential stability in Lagrange sense for genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with SUM regulatory logic is firstly studied. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov-like functions, several criteria are presented for the boundedness, ultimate boundedness and global exponential attractivity of GRNs. It can be obtained that GRNs with SUM regulatory logic are unconditionally globally exponentially stable in Lagrange sense. These results can be applied to analyze monostable as well as multistable networks. Furthermore, to analyze the stability for GRNs more comprehensively, the existence of equilibrium point of GRNs is proved, and some sufficient conditions of the global exponential stability in Lyapunov sense for GRNs are derived. Finally two numerical examples are given to illustrate the application of the obtained results.
