Analysis Of Neutral Systems With Commensurate Delays And Many Chains Of Poles Asymptotic To Same Points On The Imaginary Axis

We investigate the location of poles of neutral systems with many chains of poles asymptotic to same points on the imaginary axis, this question being the first step towards stability analysis. In many cases, chains of poles are located on both sides of the imaginary axis implying then instability. © 2012 IFAC.10PART 1120125 IFAC TC 2.2. Linear Control Systems,IFAC TC 2.3.
