One of the important issues in networked control systems is the appropriate handling of the nonlinearities arising from uncertain time-varying delays. In this paper, using the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, we develop a novel method for creating discrete-time models of linear systems with time-varying input delays based on polytopic inclusions. The proposed method is compared with existing approaches...

We investigate some particular classes of hybrid systems subject to a class of time delays; the time delays can be constant or time varying. For such systems, we present the corresponding classes of piecewise continuous Lyapunov functions.

In this paper we study recurrent neural networks with time-varying delays and continuously distributed delays. Without assuming global Lipschitz conditions on the activation functions, we establish the existence and local exponential stability of anti-periodic solutions.

Dynamical flocking of multi-agent systems with multiple leaders is studied. Supposing topologies are dynamically changed with jointly-connected, flocking algorithm of multi-agent systems with time-varying delays is proposed. Multi-agent systems with uncertain parameters and time-varying delays is investigated, and sufficient conditions are given for flocking control of multi-agent systems with ...

In this report, we develop a semistability analysis framework for nonlinear systems with bounded timevarying delays with applications to stability analysis of multiagent dynamic networks with consensus protocols in the presence of unknown heterogeneous time-varying delays along the communication links. We show that for such a nonlinear system having nonisolated equilibria, if the system asympto...

We firstly employ the fixed point theory to study the stability of cellular neural networks without delays and with time-varying delays. Some novel and concise sufficient conditions are given to ensure the existence and uniqueness of solution and the asymptotic stability of trivial equilibrium at the same time. Moreover, these conditions are easily checked and do not require the differentiabili...

The EVs battery has the ability to enhance the balance between the load demand and power generation units. The EV aggregators to manage the random behaviour of EV owners and increasing EVs participation in the ancillary services market are employed. The presence of aggregators could lead to time-varying delay in load frequency control (LFC) schemes. The effects of these delays must be considere...
