Flexible stability criteria of a class of neutral systems with multiple time delays via LMI approach

Abstract

In this paper, asymptotic stability for a class of neutral multiple time‐delay systems is considered. Lyapunov stability theory and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach are applied to solve the stability problem for such systems. Delay‐dependent and delay‐independent criteria are proposed to guarantee stability for our considered systems. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate that our obtained results are less conservative than some others.

Key words:

• stability criteria
• neutral systems
• LMI approach
