LMI Approach to Exponential Stabilization of Distributed Parameter Control Systems with Delay

A renovating method for distributed parameter control systems with constants, varying-delays, and multi-varying-delays is put forward. By constructing average Lyapunov functions and employing linear matrix inequality (LMI) and other matrix inequality technologies, several sufficient conditions for exponential stabilization are derived. In this method, the conditions are delay-dependent and at the same time, the upper-bound of exponential convergence rate is obtained. In addition, the distinctive advantage of our method is that the criteria mentioned in the paper are easy to check, so it can be applied to practice easily. Finally, a computation example is given to illustrate the proposed method.
