Asymptotical stability of fractional order systems with time delay via an integral inequality

Abstract

In this study, the asymptotical stability for several classes of fractional order differential systems with time delay is investigated. The authors first present an integral inequality by which the Halanay inequality is extended to fractional order case. Based on the generalised Halanay inequality, the authors establish several asymptotical stability conditions under which the fractional order systems with time delay are asymptotically stable. It is worth to note that these stability conditions are easy to check without resorting to the solution expression of the systems.
