In this paper, a class of linear systems with multiple time delays is studied. The problem of exponential stability of time-delay systems has been investigated by using Lyapunov functional method. We will convert the system of multiple time delays into a single time delay system and show that if the old system is stable then the new one is so. Then we investigate the stability of converted new ...

We introduce the concept of sos-convex Lyapunov functions for stability analysis of discrete time switched systems. These are polynomial Lyapunov functions that have an algebraic certificate of convexity, and can be efficiently found by semidefinite programming. We show that sos-convex Lyapunov functions are universal (i.e., necessary and sufficient) for stability analysis of switched linear sy...

This paper develops a novel method to deal with the stability problem of sampled-data systems. The multiple Lyapunov function method used in switched systems is extended to sampled-data systems and a multiple Lyapunov functional method is developed for nonlinear sampled-data systems. An application is presented where two different Lyapunov functionals are constructed in order to determine the s...

In this paper, global robust stability of stochastic impulsive recurrent neural networks with time-varyingdelays which are represented by the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models is considered. A novel Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI)-based stability criterion is obtained by using Lyapunov functional theory to guarantee the asymptotic stability of uncertain fuzzy stochastic impulsive recurrent neural...

In this study, delay-dependent robust stability problem is investigated for uncertain neutral systems with discrete and distributed delays. By constructing an augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional involving triple integral terms and taking into account the relationships between the different delays, new less conservative stability and robust stability criteria are established first using the...

In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing a quadratic functional for a discretetime linear stochastic system with multiplicative noise, on a standard probability space, in infinite time horizon. We show that the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the optimal control can be formulated as matrix inequalities in frequency domain. Furthermore, we show that if the opt...

This paper presents a new stability analysis of Networked Control Systems (NCSs), where the sampling and the constant network-induced delays are taken into account. The new method is inspired by discontinuous Lyapunov functionals that were recently introduced for sampled-data systems in [1] (in the framework of impulsive system representation) and in [2] (in the framework of input delay approac...

The stability of discrete-time systems with time varying delay in the state can be analyzed by using a discrete-time extension of the classical Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach. In the networked control systems domain a similar delay stability problem is treated using a switched system transformation approach. The paper aims to establish a relation between the switched system transformation approac...

This paper deals with the asymptotic stability of neutral systems with mixed time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional including the triple integral terms and free weighting matrices approach, a novel delay-decomposition stability criterion is obtained. The main idea of the proposed method is to divide each delay interval into two equal segment...

In this paper, we introduce a new class of Lyapunov functionals for analyzing hybrid dynamical systems. This class can be thought of as a generalization of the Lyapunov functional introduced by Yakubovich for systems with hysteresis nonlinearities which incorporates path integrals that account for the energy loss or gain every time a hysteresis loop is traversed. Hence, these Lyapunov functiona...
