Stability analysis of interval matrices: improved bounds

New sufficient conditions for the stability of interval matrices are presented, based on the Lyapunov stability approach as well as on the frequency-domain approach. The conditions help to overcome the conservatism of the existing criteria for the stability of interval matrices based on a matrix approach. Several numerical examples are given to demonstrate the new conditions and to compare them with results previously reported.
