\(H_\infty\)-control design for systems with multiple delays (Q1964005)

The \(H^\infty\)-control of a class of linear delay systems of the form \[ \dot x(t)= A_0x(t)+ B_0u(t)+ \sum^p_{j= 1} A_jx(t- d_j)+ \sum^q_{k= 1} B_ku(t- h_k)+ Dw(t) \] is considered, by using state feedback \(u= Kx\). Using a Lyapunov approach, the stability is proved under the condition that a certain linear matrix inequality or an algebraic Riccati inequality hold. Similar results are obtained in the case of uncertain systems.
