Reduction Model Approach for Linear Systems With Sampled Delayed Inputs.

Abstract : We propose a new construction of exponentially stabilizing sampled feedbacks for continuous-time linear time-invariant systems with an arbitrarily large constant pointwise delay in the inputs. Stability is guaranteed under an assumption on the size of the largest sampling interval. The proposed design is based on an adaptation of the reduction model approach. The stability of the closed loop systems is proved through a Lyapunov functional of a new type, from which is derived a robustness result.
