This paper investigates the stability issues for a class of discrete-time stochastic neural networks with mixed time delays and impulsive effects. By constructing a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and combining with the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, a novel set of sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for the addressed discrete-time neural networks. Then the result is extended to address the problem of robust stability of uncertain discrete-time stochastic neural networks with impulsive effects. One important feature in this paper is that the stability of the equilibrium point is proved under mild conditions on the activation functions, and it is not required to be differentiable or strictly monotonic. In addition, two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method, while being less conservative.
