            Abstract : 
This paper investigates the stability problem for the nominal and uncertain neutral system, respectively. By constructing a novel Lyapunov functional based on a delay-dividing approach, some delay-dependent stability criteria are derived to guarantee the stability of the neutral system. It is established theoretically that the criteria are less conservative than recent reported ones. Three numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
