Abstract

This paper examines the delay-dependent H-infinity control problem for discrete-time linear systems with time-varying state delays and norm-bounded uncertainties. A new inequality for the finite sum of quadratic terms is first established. Then, some new delay-dependent criteria are derived by employing the new inequality to guarantee the robust stability of a closed-loop system with a prescribed H-infinity norm bound for all admissible uncertainties and bounded time-vary delays. A numerical example demonstrates that the proposed method is an improvement over existing ones.
