Stability of impulsive control systems with time delay (Q1765018)

The following time delay impulsive control system is considered \(x(t)=Ax(t)+Bx(t-r)\), \(t\neq\tau_k\), \(x(t^+)=x(t^-)+C_kx(t^-)\), \(t= \tau_k\), where \(A,B,C_k\), \(k=1,2\), are some constant matrices, \(r>0\) is a delay constant, \(\{\tau_k,C_k(x(\tau_k^-))\), \(k=1,2,\dots\}\) denotes the impulsive control law with \(0<\tau_1<\tau_2<\cdots<\tau_k <\tau_{k+1}<\dots\), \(\tau_k\to\infty\), as \(k\to\infty\); \(x(t^+)= \lim_{t\to\tau_k^+}x(t)\), \(x(t^-)=\lim_{t\to\tau_k^-} x(t)\). Several criteria on asymptotic stability are established using the method of Lyapunov functions. It is shown that system can be stabilized even if it contains no stable matrix \(A\).
