Further improvement in delay-dependent stability criteria for continuous-time systems with time-varying delays

Abstract This study is concerned with the issue of delay-dependent stability criteria for continuous-time systems with time-varying delays. By introducing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and the improved reciprocally convex technique, a new less conservative and simplified stability criterion is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). At last, numerical examples are also designated to demonstrate the effectiveness and reduced conservatism of the developed results.
