AN APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM OF STABILIZING SYSTEMS WITH DELAY

The problem of stabilizing linear steady systems with delay when they are acted upon by various types of linear feedback is considered. Part icular attention is given to the stabilization of second-order systems with feedback in the form of difference controllers. When the constru ction of a difference controller is complicated, a linear integral fee dback is proposed for solving the problem. Unlike the well-known Kraso vskii-Osipov method of constructing integral feedback by solving a lin ear-quadratic problem, the proposed method is based on the Wiener-Pale y theorem for exponential-type integral functions.
