Finite-time stability analysis of singular neutral systems with time delay

Abstract

This paper studies the finite-time stability problem for a class of singular neutral systems by using the Lyapunov-Krasovskii function approach and regular neutral system theory. The considered systems involve not only the delayed version of the state, but also the delayed version of the derivative of the state. Some sufficient conditions are presented to ensure that the considered systems are regular, impulse-free, and finite-time stable. Three numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
