Improved conditions for neutral delay systems with novel inequalities

This paper studies the stability problem of a class of neutral delay systems. It firstly establishes two novel integral inequalities, which are better than the same type inequalities found in the literature. Then it derives, by using the new inequalities and the Lyapunov functional method, some sufficient delaydependent conditions for asymptotic stability of the neutral delay systems. Three numerical examples are provided to illustrate the advantage and effectiveness of the obtained results.
