New Results on Stability Analysis of Uncertain Neutral-Type Lur’e Systems Derived from a Modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii Functional

This paper is concerned with the problem of the absolute and robustly absolute stability for the uncertain neutral-type Lur’e system with time-varying delays. By introducing a modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) related to a delay-product-type function and two delay-dependent matrices, some new delay-dependent robustly absolute stability criteria are proposed, which can be expressed as convex linear matrix inequality (LMI) framework. The criteria proposed in this paper are less conservative than some recent previous ones. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach
