“…In addition, [ 2,4,7 -9 ] dealt with unknown time-invariant delays in a given range, and reported some maximum allowable delay bounds (MADB) within which the stability of the system is guaranteed. [ 8] used Ricatti equations to improve the MADBs in [ 2,4,7 ], and [ 9 ] further improved the results in [8]. Nevertheless, the stability criteria obtained were very conservative.…”
