Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of reachable set estimation for time delay systems subject to both polytopic parameter uncertainties and bounded peak inputs. The maximal Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is constructed as the pointwise maximum of a family of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals. Each functional corresponds to a vertex of uncertain polytope. Some criteria bounding the reachable set are derived. This approach shows great advantages over the traditional methods based on the common Lyapunov functionals. By introducing a modified integral inequality, the limitation imposed on the derivative of time delay being less than one is relaxed. Furthermore, the obtained results involve less computational burden when the number of vertices of the polytope is small. Two examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
