Improved delay-dependent stability criteria for linear systems with multiple time-varying delays

This paper concentrates on the stability analysis of continuous-time linear systems with multiple time-varying delays. The time-delays are assumed to be bounded and have or not lower and upper bounds on their time-derivative. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii theory the proposed results formulated as linear matrix inequality conditions can verify the delay-intervals for which the system stability is preserved. The main results follow from developing new augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals that exploit the benefits of the Bessel-Legendre-based integral inequality and the reciprocally convex approach. Also, the proposed functionals allow us to take advantage of the relationships between the current and delayed states. As a result, the proposed stability conditions outperformed similar existing ones in all numerical tests accomplished in this paper.
