New delay-dependent robust stability criteria for uncertain neutral systems with mixed delays

This paper investigates the problem of robust stability for neutral type system with mixed delays and time-varying structured uncertainties. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) method, some new stability criteria are presented. The difference between this paper and other existing results is that the lower bounds and upper bounds of the neutral-delay and discrete-delay are considered, which will obtain some less conservative stability analysis results. Several numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and merit of the proposed results. (C) 2013 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
