Delay-dependent criteria for robust stability of time-varying delay systems

This paper deals with the problem of delay-dependent robust stability for systems with time-varying structured uncertainties and time-varying delays. Some new delay-dependent stability criteria are devised by taking the relationship between the terms in the Leibniz-Newton formula into account. Since free weighting matrices are used to express this relationship and since appropriate ones are selected by means of linear matrix inequalities, the new criteria are less conservative than existing ones. Numerical examples suggest that the proposed criteria are effective and are an improvement over previous ones.     

Delay-dependent criteria for the robust stability of systems with time-varying delay

The problem of delay-dependent robust stability for systems with time-varying delay has been considered. By using the S-procedure and the Park's inequality in the recent issue, a delay-dependent robust stability criterion which is less conservative than the previous results has been derived for time-delay systems with time-varying structured uncertainties. The same idea has also been easily extended to the systems with nonlinear perturbations. Numerical examples illustrated the effectiveness and the improvement of the proposed approach.

Delay-dependent robust stability criteria for uncertain neutral systems with mixed delays

This paper concerns the problem of the delay-dependent robust stability of neutral systems with mixed delays and time-varying structured uncertainties. A new method based on linear matrix inequalities is presented that makes it easy to calculate both the upper stability bounds on the delays and the free weighting matrices. Since the criteria take the sizes of the neutral- and discrete-delays into account, it is less conservative than previous methods. Numerical examples illustrate both the improvement this approach provides over previous methods and the reciprocal influences between the neutral- and discrete-delays.     

Delay-dependent robust stability for uncertain linear systems with interval time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with the delay-dependent robust stability problem for uncertain linear systems with interval time-varying delay. The time-varying delay is assumed to belong to an interval and no restriction on the derivative of the time-varying delay is needed, which allows the delay to be a fast time-varying function. The uncertainty under consideration is norm-bounded, and possibly time-varying, uncertainty. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, a stability criterion is derived by introducing some relaxation matrices that can be used to reduce the conservatism of the criteria. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed method.     

New stability criteria for singular systems with time-varying delay and nonlinear perturbations

This paper concerns the stability analysis for singular systems with time-varying delay and nonlinear perturbations. Two cases of time-varying delay, which is differentiable (Case 1) or not differentiable (Case 2), are considered. The considered nonlinear perturbations includes the norm-bounded uncertainties as a special case. Some delay-dependent stability criteria are derived by using a delay decomposition approach. In the delay decomposition approach, the entire delay interval is divided into multiple sub-intervals for which different energy functions are defined for building new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional. Some numerical and practical examples are given to show the effectiveness and significant improvement of the proposed method.     

Delay-dependent robust stability for neutral systems with mixed discrete-and-neutral delays

This paper focuses on the problem of delay-dependent robust stability of neutral systems with different discrete-and neutral delays and time-varying structured uncertainties. Some new criteria are presented, in which some flee weighting matrices are used to express the relatiomhips between the terms in the Leibniz-Newton formula. The criteria include the information on the size of both neutral-and-discrete delays. It is shown that the present results also include the results for identical discrete-and-neutral delays as special cases.A numerical example illustrates the improvement of the proposed methods over the previous methods and the influences between the discrete and neutral delays.

On robust stability of LTI fractional-order delay systems of retarded and neutral type

This paper deals with the analysis of robust BIBO-stability of LTI fractional order delay systems in the presence of real parametric uncertainties. Two large classes of these systems, namely retarded and neutral types, are considered. Two theorems are given to check the robust BIBO-stability of these two families of fractional order systems. One of these theorems provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the case of retarded type and another one presents only sufficient conditions for the case of neutral type. Furthermore, upper and lower bounds (cutoff frequencies) are provided for drawing the value sets. To illustrate the results, two numerical examples are presented.

Robust stability criteria for uncertain linear systems with interval time-varying delay

This paper considers the robust delay-dependent stability problem of a class of linear uncertain system with interval time-varying delay and proposes less conservative stability criteria for computing the maximum allowable bound of the delay range. Less conservatism of the proposed stability criteria is attributed to the delay-central point method of stability analysis, wherein the delay interval is partitioned into two subintervals of equal length, and the time derivative of a candidate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional based on delay decomposition technique is evaluated in each of these delay segments. In deriving the stability conditions in LMI framework, neither model transformations nor bounding techniques using free-weighting matrix variables are employed for dealing the cross-terms that emerge from the time derivative of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional; instead, they are dealt using tighter integral inequalities. The proposed analysis subsequently yields a stability condition in convex LMI framework that can be solved using standard numerical packages. For deriving robust stability conditions, two categories of system uncertainties, namely, time-varying structured and polytopic-type uncertainties, are considered. The effectiveness of the proposed stability criteria is validated through standard numerical examples.

A less conservative robust stability criteria for uncertain neutral systems with mixed delays

This paper is concerned with the problem of the delay-dependent robust stability of neutral systems with mixed delays and time-varying structured uncertainties. By considering the cross-terms with additional design parameters, a complete form of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is constructed. Then some free weighting matrices are introduced, and a sufficient stability condition is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The obtained criterion is dependent on the sizes of neutral delay and discrete delay and are less conservative than those produced by previous approaches. Numerical examples are given to illustrate both the improvement the proposed method provides over some existing ones and the relationship between the neutral- and discrete-delay.
