Stabilization for state/input delay systems via static and integral output feedback

Abstract: This paper addresses the static and integral output feedback stabilization problems of continuous-time linear systems with an unknown state/input delay. By combining an augmentation approach and the delay partitioning technique, criteria for static and integral output feedback stabilizability are proposed in terms of nonlinear matrix inequalities with a free parameter matrix introduced. These new characterizations possess a special structure, which leads to linearized iterative computation. The effectiveness and merits of the proposed approach are shown through numerical examples.
