Abstract
Dynamical systems in the real world are always subject to various disturbances. This paper studies the dynamics of linear delayed systems with decaying disturbances, both discrete- and continuous-time cases are considered. It is first shown that if an unforced linear system is exponentially stable, then the disturbed system has a dynamical property like exponential stability provided that the disturbance decays at an exponential rate, and has a dynamical property like asymptotic stability provided that the disturbance asymptotically approaches zero. These results are then applied to block triangular systems in the presence of time-varying delays, leading to criteria for checking the stability properties of this class of systems by considering diagonal blocks of system matrices. Particularly, a block triangular system is exponentially stable if and only if each system described by the diagonal blocks of system matrices is exponentially stable. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
