In this paper, the robust non-fragile guaranteed cost-control problem is studied for a class of uncertain linear large-scale systems with time-delays in subsystem interconnections and given quadratic cost functions. The uncertainty in the system is assumed to be norm-bounded and time-varying. Also, the state-feedback gains for subsystems of the large-scale system are assumed to have norm-bounded controller gain variations. The problem is to design a state feedback control law such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable, and the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound for all admissible uncertainties. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such controllers are derived based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach combined with the Lyapunov method. A parameterized characterization of the robust non-fragile guaranteed cost controllers is given in terms of the feasible solutions to a certain LMI. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed method.
