ROBUST STABILITY AND STABILIZATION OF A CLASS OF SINGULAR SYSTEMS WITH MULTIPLE TIME‐VARYING DELAYS

This paper deals with the problem of robust stability and robust stabilization for uncertain continuous singular systems with multiple time‐varying delays. The parametric uncertainty is assumed to be norm bounded. The purpose of the robust stability problem is to give conditions such that the uncertain singular system is regular, impulse free, and stable for all admissible uncertainties. The purpose of the robust stabilization problem is to design a feedback control law such that the resulting closed‐loop system is robustly stable. This problem is solved via generalized quadratic stability approach. A strict linear matrix inequality (LMI) design approach is developed. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the application of the proposed method.
