Stability of x(t)=Ax(t)+Bx(t- tau )

Abstract

A stability criterion for linear time-delay systems described by a differential difference equation of the form dx(t)=Ax(t)+Bx(t- tau ) is proposed. The result obtained includes information on the size of the delay and therefore can be a delay-dependent stability condition. Its relation to existing delay-independent stability criteria is also discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
