Stabilization of systems with interval time-varying delay based on delay decomposing approach

The paper considers the stabilization for systems with interval time-varying delay. By decomposing the delay interval into multiple equidistant subintervals and considering the triple integral terms, a novel Lyapunov-krasovskii functional(LKF) is defined. Then extended integral inequality and convex combination approach are used to estimate the derivative of the constructed functional, and as a result, the new stability criterion with less conservatism and decision variables is obtained. On this basis, the state feedback controller is designed, by using linearization method, the existence condition of controller is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), and the specific form of controller is also given, moreover, by selecting the appropriate parameter value, the stabilization time of the system can be reduced. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. (C) 2017 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
