On robustly exponential stability of uncertain neutral systems with time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations

The issue of robustly exponential stability for uncertain neutral-type systems is considered in this paper. The uncertainties are nonlinear and the delays are time-varying. In terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI), the new sufficient stability condition with delay dependence is presented. The model transformation and bounding techniques for cross terms are avoided based on an integral inequality. Two illustrative examples are proposed to show the effectiveness of our method.
