Robust stability of interval time-delay systems with delay-dependence

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