New stability analysis for discrete time-delay systems via auxiliary-function-based summation inequalities

For the stability analysis of discrete time-delay systems, Jensen inequality has been widely used as the method supporting inequalities for summation quadratic functions. It not only requires a smaller number of decision variables than other approaches but also achieves identical or comparable performance behavior. Based on the analysis for the conservatism of Jensen inequality, however, this paper suggests a new summation inequality say an auxiliary-function-based summation inequality. It is verified that the proposed inequality is a generalized form of the novel summation inequality reported recently. Also, an application to stability analysis for discrete time-delay systems is provided.
