contents Deep residual networks (ResNets) have demonstrated outstanding success in computer vision tasks, attributed to their ability to maintain gradient flow through deep architectures. Simultaneously, controlling the Lipschitz bound in neural networks has emerged as an essential area of research for enhancing adversarial robustness and network certifiability. This paper uses a rigorous approach to design $\mathcal{L}$-Lipschitz deep residual networks using a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) framework. The ResNet architecture was reformulated as a pseudo-tri-diagonal LMI with off-diagonal elements and derived closed-form constraints on network parameters to ensure $\mathcal{L}$-Lipschitz continuity. To address the lack of explicit eigenvalue computations for such matrix structures, the Gershgorin circle theorem was employed to approximate eigenvalue locations, guaranteeing the LMI's negative semi-definiteness. Our contributions include a provable parameterization methodology for constructing Lipschitz-constrained networks and a compositional framework for managing recursive systems within hierarchical architectures. These findings enable robust network designs applicable to adversarial robustness, certified training, and control systems. However, a limitation was identified in the Gershgorin-based approximations, which over-constrain the system, suppressing non-linear dynamics and diminishing the network's expressive capacity.
