The ellipsoidal bound of reachable sets for linear neutral systems with disturbances

In this paper, we consider the problem of finding an ellipsoidal bound of reachable sets for neutral systems with bounded peak disturbances. Up to now, the result related to the ellipsoidal bound of reachable sets was rarely proposed for linear neutral systems. Based on the modified augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii type functional, we obtain some delay-dependent results expressed in the form of matrix inequalities containing only one non-convex scalar. Furthermore, a modified integral inequality is used to remove the limitation on the variation rate of the delay. Numerical examples are given to indicate significant improvements over some existing results.
