Input-to-state stability for time-varying delayed systems in Halanay-type inequality forms

Abstract

This paper studies the input-to-state stability (ISS) for time-varying delayed systems (TVDS) in Halanay-type inequality forms. The time-delay in TVDS is allowed to be time-varying and unbounded. By introducing the notion of a uniform M-matrix, exponential ISS theorems are established respectively for continuous-time, discrete-time, and zero-order TVDS. The convergence rates of exponential ISS and ISS gains and their relation are subsequently estimated. These ISS theorems are less conservative and generalize the results of stability and ISS for Halanay-type inequalities in the literature. Moreover, necessary conditions of ISS are given for TVDS in Halanay-type equality forms. By specializing the ISS results to linear time-invariant delayed systems, the necessary and sufficient conditions of ISS are derived respectively. Three examples are given throughout the paper to illustrate the theoretical results.
