NOVEL ROBUST DELAY-DEPENDENT CRITERION FOR ABSOLUTE STABILITY OF LUR'E SYSTEMS OF NEUTRAL TYPE.

This letter considers uncertain Lur'e systems of neutral type with sector and slope restrictions. By constructing a new Lyapunov functional, a novel delay-dependent criterion for absolute stability is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Two numerical examples are illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
