To derive a less conservative stability criterion via Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) method, in previous literature, multiple integral terms are usually introduced into the construction of LKFs. This article generalizes the results of previous literature by proposing a polynomial-type LKF, which contains the LKFs with multiple integral terms as special cases. In addition, a Jacobi–Bessel inequality is presented to bound the derivative of such LKF. As a result, an improved stability criterion of time-delay systems is established. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness, and advantages of our method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
