Delay-dependent guaranteed cost stabilization criterion for neutral delay-differential systems: matrix inequality approach

In this paper, we address the problem of the guaranteed cost stabilization for a class of neutral delay-differential systems with a given quadratic cost function. Based on the Lyapunov method, delay-dependent criteria, which are expressed in terms of matrix inequalities, are proposed to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the system. The matrix inequalities can be easily solved by various efficient optimization algorithms.
