Dynamic output guaranteed cost controller for neutral systems with input delay

In this paper, we consider a design problem of dynamic output guaranteed cost controller (GCC) of a class of neutral systems with input delay. A quadratic cost function is considered as a performance measure for the closed-loop system. Based on the Lyapunov second method, two stability criteria for existence of the controller are derived in terms of matrix inequalities. The solutions of the matrix inequalities can be easily obtained using existing efficient convex optimization techniques. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed design method.
