Stability analysis of linear time-varying systems: Improving conditions by adding more information about parameter variation

Abstract In this paper a new Lyapunov function is proposed for stability analysis of linear time-varying systems. This new function carries more information regarding parameter variation leading to less conservative conditions. Using Finsler’s lemma and a suitable form to describe the high-order time-derivatives of the parameters, finite sets of LMIs are obtained which are progressively less conservative as a pair of parameters grow. Previous results can be seen as a special case and numerical examples are carried out for the sake of illustration.
