LMI-Based Criterion for the Robust Stability of 2D Discrete State-Delayed Systems Using Generalized Overflow Nonlinearities

This paper addresses the problem of global asymptotic stability of a class of discrete uncertain state-delayed systems described by the Fornasini-Marchesini second local state-space (FMSLSS) model using generalized overflow nonlinearities. The uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded. A computationally tractable, that is, linear-matrix-inequality-(LMI-) based new criterion for the global asymptotic stability of such system is proposed. It is demonstrated that several previously reported stability criteria for two-dimensional (2D) systems are recovered from the presented approach as special cases. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the usefulness of the presented approach
