W. Michiels et al., Stability of perturbed delay differential equations and stabilization of nonlinear cascade systems, SIAM J CON, 40(3), 2001, pp. 661-680
In this paper the effect of bounded input perturbations on the stability of
nonlinear globally asymptotically stable delay differential equations is a
nalyzed. We investigate under which conditions global stability is preserve
d and if not, whether semiglobal stabilization is possible by controlling t
he size or shape of the perturbation. These results are used to study the s
tabilization of partially linear cascade systems with partial state feedbac
k.
