Improved exponential stability for time-varying systems with nonlinear delayed perturbations (Q2378946)

By means of an improved Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a new sufficient condition for delay dependent exponential stability of a class of linear time-varying systems with nonlinear perturbation is given. The rate of convergence of the bounds that characterize the stability is easily computed. The condition is shown to be less conservative than those of existing results and numerical examples to illustrate the usefulness of the results are given.
