An approach to compute and design the delay margin of a large‐scale matrix delay equation

Abstract

SummaryA methodology to compute and design the delay margin (DM) of large‐scale linear time‐invariant systems is presented. Different from existing work, this methodology is scalable; does not impose restrictions on the system to be able to invoke simultaneous triangularization or simultaneous diagonalization; and sheds light on how the finite number of delay‐free system eigenvalues can be effectively utilized to compute or design the DM.
