Delay-Decomposition Stability Approach of Nonlinear Neutral Systems with Mixed Time-Varying Delays

This paper deals with the asymptotic stability of neutral systems with mixed time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional including the triple integral terms and free weighting matrices approach, a novel delay-decomposition stability criterion is obtained. The main idea of the proposed method is to divide each delay interval into two equal segments. Then, the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is used to split the bounds of integral terms of each subinterval. In order to reduce the stability criterion conservatism, delay-dependent sufficient conditions are performed in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) technique. Finally, numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed stability approach.
