Effects of small delays on stability of singularly perturbed systems (Q1614313): Difference between revisions

The author gives an example of a finite-dimensional singularly perturbed linear system that may be destabilized by introduction of a small delay in the feedback loop. Necessary and sufficient conditions for preserving stability, for all small enough values of delay and of the singular perturbation parameter \(\varepsilon\), are obtained in two cases: in the case of delay proportional to \(\varepsilon\) and in the case of independent delay and \(\varepsilon\). In the second case, the sufficient conditions are given in terms of a LMI. A delay-dependent LMI criterion for the stability of singularly perturbed differential-difference systems is derived.
