IMPROVED CONDITIONS FOR DELAY‐DEPENDENT ROBUST STABILITY AND STABILIZATION OF UNCERTAIN DISCRETE TIME‐DELAY SYSTEMS

This paper provides improved delay‐dependent conditions for the robust stability and robust stabilization of discrete time‐delay systems with norm‐bounded parameter uncertainties. It is theoretically established that the proposed conditions are less conservative than those discussed in the literature. The new approach proposed in this paper in a derivation of delay‐dependent conditions and involves the use of neither model transformation nor bounding techniques for some cross terms. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the reduced conservatism of the proposed conditions.
