A descriptor system approach to robust stability of uncertain neutral systems with discrete and distributed delays

The robust stability of uncertain linear neutral systems with discrete and distributed delays is investigated. The uncertainties under consideration are norm bounded, and possibly time varying. The proposed stability criteria are formulated in the form of a linear matrix inequality and it is easy to check the robust stability of the considered systems. Numerical examples are given to indicate significant improvements over some existing results.
