Robust stability criteria for neutral systems with interval time-varying delays and nonlinear uncertainties

This paper is concerned with the robust stability criteria for a class of neutral systems with interval time-varying delay and nonlinear uncertainties. Based on Lyapunov method and an integral inequality, novel delay-dependent criteria are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI). The model transformation and free-weighting matrices are avoided, such that the resulting criteria involve fewer matrix variables but has less conservatism. Finally, numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
