New Results on Stability of Linear Discrete-Time Systems with Time-Varying Delay

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the stability problem for linear discrete-Time systems with a time-varying delay. Some relations between two general free-matrix-based summation inequalities are discussed. A novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is proposed by modifying the single-and double-summation LKF terms. As a result, a new stability condition is obtained by employing the general free-matrix-based summation inequalities reported recently. Numerical examples are given to show that the obtained stability condition is more relaxed than some of existing results.
