“…This motivates the present stability investigation of multi-rate Internet-based control systems with time-varying delay and uncertainties. We found that such multi-rate Internet-based control systems can be rewritten as a time-delay system through our modeling process, and there are many results in the fields [4], [8], [9], [17], [25], [27].These criteria can be classified into two categories according to their dependence on the size of the delays, namely, delay-independent stability criteria [18], [19], [20], and delay-dependent stability criteria [21], [22], [23], [24]. The delay-independent stability criteria guarantee the stability of the system irrespective of the size of the time-delay.…”
