LMI conditions for quadratic and robust D-stability of interval systems

Sufficient conditions for the quadratic D-stability and further robust D-stability of interval systems are presented in this paper. This robust D-stability condition is based on a parameter-dependent Lyapunov function obtained from the feasibility of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) defined at a series of partial-vertex-based interval matrices other than the total vertex matrices as in previous results. The results contain the usual quadratic and robust stability of continuous-time and discrete-time interval systems as particular cases. The illustrative example shows that this method is effective and less conservative for checking the quadratic and robust D-stability of interval systems.
