On new stability criterion for delay-differential systems of neutral type (Q1765807)

The authors consider the asymptotic stability of a class of delay-differential systems of neutral type. By employing an operator with a free weighting matrix, the original system is transformed into an equivalent neutral system. Then, delay-dependent stability criteria are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities by establishing Lyapunov functionals with free weighting matrices. Finally, four numerical examples are presented to show that the obtained criteria are less conservative than those in the references therein.
