Refined discretized Lyapunov functional method for systems with multiple delays

A discretized Lyapunov functional method for systems with multiple delay is refined. The main ideas used are variable elimination and integral inequality. The resulting new stability criterion is simpler. Numerical examples indicate that the new method is much less conservative for a given discretization mesh. In most applications, it appears that a most coarse discretization mesh compatible with the delays is sufficient.
