Novel delay-dependent asymptotical stability of neutral systems with nonlinear perturbations (Q843158)

The paper deals with the asymptotical stability of linear neutral systems with time varying bounded delay and nonlinear perturbations. Some asymptotical stability criteria, which are both delay-dependent and delay-derivative-dependent, are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The results are obtained via a class of quadratic Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate that the derived conditions are less conservative than those given in the literature: the maximal allowable values of delay for the stability of the systems are greater than those obtained by some other methods.
