Abstract

This article discusses the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach for the stability problem of coupled differential-functional equations. Such systems include, as special cases, many types of time-delay systems, including the lossless propagation model, some neutral time-delay systems and singular time-delay systems. After the general stability theory, the special case of coupled differential-difference equations is discussed, and the necessity for the existence of quadratic Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is established. Discretization is used to render the stability criterion to an LMI form.
