Technical communiqueRelaxed conditions for stability of time-varying delay systems☆
Introduction
Time delay is a natural phenomenon in real world. It is well known that the existence of time delay often causes the oscillation, deterioration of system performance, and even instability, so the stability analysis of time-delay systems strongly requires before experimental stage. As these reason, the stability analysis of time-delay system has formed a sturdy research field during the past years (Gu, Kharitonov, & Chen, 2003).
Let us consider the following time-varying delay systems: where is the state vector, is the time-varying delay satisfying and , is initial function, and , are known real constant matrices with appropriate dimensions.
In stability problems of time-delay systems, to derive less conservative criteria guaranteeing the stability of the system (1) is a key purpose. The maximal allowable upper bound (MAUB) of time-delay is one of the important indexes to check conservatism of stability criteria in the system. Therefore, many researchers have tried to develop such conditions which ensure the stability for MAUB of time-delay as large as possible. In line with this, several remarkable approaches have been reported such as free-weighting matrix approach, delay partitioning approach, reciprocally convex approach, augmented Lyapunov method, and reduction approach for Jensen’s inequality (Kim, 2016, Seuret and Gouaisbaut, 2013, Zeng et al., 2015a, Zeng et al., 2015b).
Recently, authors in Xu, Lam, Zhang, and Zou (2015) gave a new insight for reducing the conservatism of stability criteria. Most existing works on the stability of time-delay systems require the positive definiteness of all matrices in Lyapunov functions to meet their positive definiteness. In Xu et al. (2015), a relaxed condition for a matrix in the Lyapunov function instead of its positive definiteness was proposed, i.e. the matrix does not need to be positive definite. After this work, several works about relaxed conditions were reported (Zhang et al., 2015a, Zhang et al., 2015b).
Motivated by above discussion, this paper focuses on to develop relaxed conditions for time-varying delay systems because above commented works on relaxed conditions can be applied only integral terms with constant time-delay interval, i.e. . To this end, a new inequality is derived based on free-matrix-based integral inequality, and then by utilizing this new inequality two new relaxed conditions are presented.

Conclusions
This paper suggested relaxed conditions for some matrices in a Lyapunov function. To this end, we presented a new inequality which is a modified version of free-matrix-based integral inequality, and then by utilizing derived new inequality, two novel lemmas were proposed which provide relaxed conditions, i.e. some matrices in Lyapunov function do not need to be positive definite. From two numerical examples, the effectiveness and superiority of proposed methods were shown.
