A Delay-Dependent Stability Criterion for Systems Lemma 1: Assume that a( ) 2 Rn and b( ) 2 Rn are given
with Uncertain Time-Invariant Delays for 2 . Then, for any positive definite matrix X 2 Rn 2n and
any matrix M 2 Rn 2n , the following holds:

Abstract—This paper provides a new stability criterion for systems with
a( ) X XM a( )
time-invariant uncertain delays. Based on an improved upper bound for b( ) M T X (2; 2) b( ) d (2)
the inner product of two vectors, a new delay-dependent robust stability
criterion is derived, which is shown by an example less conservative than where (2; 2) denotes (M T X + I )X 01 (XM + I ).

With some efforts, we can show that (3) guarantees the negativeness
of V_ whenever neither x(t) nor x(t 0 h) is zero, which immediately
implies the asymptotic stability of the system.
