Abstract

This chapter addresses the stability of a class of systems including uniformly distributed delays. Compared with the existing results for systems with point-wise constant delays, this problem involves three new technical issues. In this chapter, these technical issues will be solved mainly within the frequency-sweeping framework which was recently established for systems with point-wise delays. As a consequence, the stability in the whole domain of delay can be studied. Moreover, a unified approach will be proposed: Most of the steps required by the problem can be fulfilled by simply observing the frequency-sweeping curves.
