“…to estimate the derivative of LKF more accurately, such as delay partitioning approach (Ding et al, 2017), freematrix-based integral inequality (Wang et al, 2017), the augmented LKF approach (Meng et al, 2020;Peng & Jian, 2018), Wirtinger-based inequality (Li & Liao, 2018), reciprocally convex combination (Kwon et al, 2016;Li & Xue, 2016;Zhang et al, 2017), auxiliary function-based integral inequality (Zhang et al, 2018) and Bessel-Legendre inequality (Seuret & Gouaisbaut, 2018). Recently, considering the disturbances and parameter uncertainty in modelling, the robust H ∞ control has been studied in Bai et al (2016), Sun et al (2018), Meng et al (2020) and Niamsup and Phat (2020). In Meng et al (2020), based on the sliding mode observer framework, a sufficient condition and novel integral sliding surface function with the compensator were proposed to investigate robust H ∞ asymptotic stabilization for uncertain neutral-type systems.…”
