LMI-Based Robust H∞ Control of Uncertain Neutral Systems with State and Input Delays

Robust stabilization and robust H_∞ control problems for a class of uncertain neutral system with state and input delays are considered. By choosing a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, an alternative delay-dependent sufficient condition for the existence of a controller is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Furthermore, a convex optimization problem can be formulated to obtain an H_∞ controller which minimizes an upper H_∞ norm bound of the closed-loop state-input delayed system.
