The state estimation problem is discussed for discrete Markovian jump neural networks with time-varying delays in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. The considered transition probabilities are assumed to be time-variant and partially unknown. The aim of the state estimation problem is to design a state estimator to estimate the neuron states and ensure the stochastic stability of the error-state system. A delay-dependent sufficient condition for the existence of the desired state estimator is proposed. An explicit expression of the desired estimator is also given. A numerical example is introduced to show the effectiveness of the given result.
