ROBUST STABILITY OF INTERVAL TIME-DELAY SYSTEMS WITH DELAY-DEPENDENCE

This paper proposes a sufficient robust stability condition for interv al time-delay systems with delay-dependence. The properties of the com parison theorem and matrix measure are employed to investigate the pro blem. The stability criteria are delay-dependent and less conservative than delay-independent stability criteria [5,6,12,16] and delay-depen dent stability criteria [1,14,15,17] when delay is small. However, the results of this paper indeed give us one more choice for the stabilit y examination of the interval time-delay systems. Simulation examples are given to demonstrate the application of our result. (C) 1998 Elsev ier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
