This paper deals with the problem of designing delayed feedback controllers of master-slave synchronization for Lur'e systems with timevariant delay (0 ≤ 0 ≤ (t) ≤ m ). Through partitioning the intervals [0, 0 ] and [ 0 , m ], respectively, and choosing two augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals(LKFs), two delay-dependent synchronization criteria are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), in which the conservatism can be greatly reduced by thinning the partitioning of delay intervals and employing convex combination. Thus the sufficient conditions can be derived for the existence of delayed feedback controllers, and the controller gain matrices can be achieved by solving the established LMIs. Finally, three numerical examples are given to illustrate the presented synchronization schemes.
