New Stability Criteria for Uncertain Nonlinear Stochastic Time-Delay Systems

This paper deals with the problem of robust stabilization and non-fragile robust control for a class of uncertain stochastic nonlinear time-delay systems that satisfy a one-sided Lipschitz condition. The parametric uncertainties are assumed to be real time-varying and norm bounded. Based on the one-sided Lipschitz condition including useful information of the nonlinear part, a new stability criterion for this class of nonlinear systems is provided. A memoryless non-fragile state-feedback controller is designed to guarantee robust stochastic stability of closed-loop systems. The approach of linear matrix inequalities is proposed to solve the robust stability for stochastic nonlinear systems with time-varying delay, and to obtain new delay-dependent sufficient conditions. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the validity and advantages of the proposed theoretical results.
