Delay-Independent Observer-Based Control for a Class of Neutral Systems

Abstract

In this paper, the observer-based control for a class of neutral systems is considered. The analysis is based on the use of Lyapunov functional stability theory. Delay-independent stabilization criteria are proposed to guarantee stability for the systems via linear control. The linear matrix inequality (lmi) approach is used to design the observer and the feedback control. Our results are a simple generalization of a full-order Luenberger observer. A numerical example is given to illustrate the use of our main results.
