This paper is concerned with stability analysis for continuous-time systems with additive time-varying delays in the Lyapunov-Krasovskii(L-K) framework. Firstly, in view of the relationships between the upper bounds of the two time-varying delays, a new augmented L-K functional is constructed by using the information of the two upper bounds. Secondly, the free-matrix-based integral inequality is used to estimate the derivative of the constructed L-K functional. Thirdly, a less conservative criterion is derived to assess stability. Finally, a numerical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the criterion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
