On delay-dependent stability under model transformations of some neutral linear systems

Abstract

This paper focuses on the stability analysis of a class of neutral linear systems. Some sufficient delay-dependent stability conditions are derived in terms of an appropriate model transformation of the original system, transformation similar to the one used in the retarded case. The analysis makes use of an appropriate construction of a degenerate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. Several computational schemes and frequency-domain interpretations, as well as an example are also presented.
