This study is concerned with reachable set bounding of delayed second-order memristive neural networks (SMNNs) with bounded input disturbances. By applying an analytic method, some inequality techniques and an adaptive control strategy, a sufficient condition of reachable set estimation criterion is derived to guarantee that the states of delayed SMNNs are bounded by a compact ellipsoid. A non-reduced order method is employed to investigate the reachable set bounding problem instead of the reduced order method by variable substitution. In addition, the proposed result is presented in algebraic...
