DISCRETE-TIME SYSTEMS WITH TIME-VARYING TIME DELAY: STABILITY AND STABILIZABILITY ´ EL-KEBIR BOUKAS Received 7 December 2005; Accepted 2 January 2006 This paper deals with the class of linear discrete-time systems with varying time delay. The problems of stability and stabilizability for this class of systems are considered. Given an upper bound and a lower bound on the time-varying delay, sufficient conditions for checking the stability of this class of systems are developed. A control design algorithm is also provided. All the results developed in this paper are in the LMI formalism which makes their solvability easier using existing tools. A numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the established results. ´ Copyright © 2006 El-Kebir Boukas.

Introduction It is well established in the literature that time delay is the cause of performance degrada- tions for dynamical systems. It can even be, in some circumstances, the cause of instability of the system that we would like to control if such time delay is not taken into account during the design phase. Time delay may occur either in continuous-time or discrete- time systems and may be constant or time varying. The control of systems with time delay has been a hot subject of research in the last decades. Stability and stabilizability problems either for the continuous-time and dis- crete-time deterministic and stochastic systems with time delay have been tackled and in- teresting results have been reported in the literature. The reported results are divided into delay-independent and delay-dependent conditions. The delay-independent conditions present more conservatism than delay-dependent conditions since they do
