Lyapunov-based quantitative analysis of robust stability (Q1916905)

The paper presents a Lyapunov-based analysis of robust stability for control systems, with perturbations extended to include four important classes of perturbations, and proposing four measures of robust stability: the nondelay unstructured, delayed unstructured, nondelay structured, and delayed structured perturbations. Both delay independent analysis and delay-dependent analysis are provided for systems with delayed perturbations. The given examples illustrate the fact that the allowed perturbation bounds obtained by the proposed analysis are less conservative than those existing in the current literature.
