Construction of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii Functionals for some Classes of Positive Delay Systems

Resumo

A criterion is established for the diagonal stability of positive linear difference-differential systems with discrete and distributed delay. The problem is studied of existence of a common diagonal Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional for a family of these systems. The approach developed is used to obtain conditions of the absolute stability and estimates of the time of transient processes for nonlinear difference-differential systems with sector type nonlinearities.
