STABILITY AND ASSIGNMENT OF SPECTRUM IN SYSTEMS WITH DISCRETE TIME LAGS M. DE LA SEN Received 8 November 2005; Accepted 13 March 2006 The asymptotic stability with a prescribed degree of time delayed systems subject to mul- tiple bounded discrete delays has received important attention in the last years. It is basi- cally proved that the α-stability locally in the delays (i.e., all the eigenvalues have prefixed strictly negative real parts located in Res ≤ −α 0) may be tested for a set of admissible delays including possible zero delays either through a set of Lyapunov’s matrix inequali- ties or, equivalently, by checking that an identical number of matrices related to the de- layed dynamics are all stability matrices. The result may be easily extended to check the ε-asymptotic stability independent of the delays, that is, for all the delays having any val- ues, the eigenvalues are stable and located in Res ≤ ε → 0−. The above referred number of stable matrices to be tested is 2r for a set of distinct r point delays and includes all possi- ble cases of alternate signs for summations for all the matrices of delayed dynamics. The manuscript is completed with a study for prescribed closed-loop spectrum assignment (or “pole placement”) under output feedback. Copyright © 2006 M. De la Sen.
