Absolute stability of large-scale time-delay Lurie indirect control systems with unbounded coefficients

Abstract

Abstract We study the absolute stability of large-scale time-delay Lurie indirect control systems with unbounded coefficients. Based on Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, we derive some novel absolute stability conditions for this class of Lurie systems with a single nonlinearity. These conditions are particularly suitable for large-scale time-delay Lurie systems with unbounded coefficients. At the same time, they are also effective for such systems with bounded or constant coefficients. Furthermore, we extend the results obtained to multiple nonlinearities. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is illustrated via two numerical examples.
