A Lyapunov functional for a neutral system with a time-varying delay

Abstract

The paper presents a method of determining of the Lyapunov functional for a linear neutral system with an interval time-varying delay. The Lyapunov functional is constructed for the system with a time-varying delay with a given time derivative, which is calculated on the trajectory of the system with a time-varying delay. The presented method gives analytical formulas for the coefficients of the Lyapunov functional.
