ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the problem of delay-dependent asymptotic stability for interconnected switched neutral-type systems with time-varying delays. By applying weighting-delay approach, introducing both singular model transformation technique and Finsler’s lemma, and constructing an augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional combined with slack matrices, an improved delay-derivative-dependent stability criterion is derived to guarantee the asymptotic stability of above systems. The obtained criterion is formulated in terms of matrix inequalities, which can be efficiently solved via standard numerical software. Two numerical examples are included to show that the proposed method is effective and can provide less conservative results.
Keywords: Interconnected switched neutral-type systems, time-varying delays, weighting-delay approach,
singular model transformation, delay-derivative-dependent stability criterion.
1. Introduction
It is well known that a wide class of physical systems in power systems, chemical procedure control systems, navigation systems, automobile speed change system, etc. may be appropriately described by the switched model. Switched systems are a special class of hybrid dynamical systems, which consist of a family of subsystems and a switching law specifying the switching between the subsystems. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the stability problem of switched systems with time delay due to their significance both in theory and applications. To the best of our knowledge, it seems that few people have studied the asymptotic stability problem for continuous-time interconnected switched neutral-type systems with time-varying delays. This has motivated our research.
In this paper, we will give preliminary knowledge for our main result. First of all, consider the following interconnected switched neutral-type system with time-varying delays

The following notations will be used throughout this paper. The notation F>G(F≥G) means that the matrix F−G is positive definite (positive semi-definite) for two symmetric matrices F, G. Ii is an identity matrix of appropriate dimensions.

.From Lemma 4, it is seen that ωiT(t)Πiωi(t)<0is equivalent to inequality (6e). Obviously, if inequality (6e)
holds, then V(t)<0,which ensures that system (8) is asymptotically stable [1]. It means that system (1) is asymptotically stable, too. The proof is completed.

In this section, two examples are given to show the benefits of our result.
Example 1: Consider the following interconnected switched time-varying-delay system composed of two
individual switched systems:

Our purpose in example 1 is to find the maximum allowed delay h ofd(t)satisfying d(t)≤µ,such that the switching system (19) is asymptotically stable. A comparison between our Theorem 1 and the method of [10] is shown in Table 1, which also displays the maximum allowed delay h and its time derivative µfor guaranteeing the asymptotic stability of system (19). Obviously, it can be seen that the weighting-delay-dependent stability criterion in this paper is less conservative than one given by [10].

Example 2: Consider the following switched systems with time-varying delay
Switched system 1: )) ( ( 5 . 0 1 . 0 2 . 0 1 . 0 ) ( 5 . 1 0 0 5 . 5 ) (t xt xt d t x =− − +− − (20a) Switched system 2: )) ( ( 1 . 0 5 . 0 5 . 0 1 . 0 ) ( 7 . 7 0 0 2 . 2 ) (t xt xt d t x =− − + − (20b)
Our purpose in example 2 is to find the maximum allowed delay h ofd(t)satisfyingd(t)≤µ,such that the switching system (20) is asymptotically stable. A comparison between our Theorem 1 and the methods of [11], [12] and [13] is shown in Table 2, which also displays the maximum allowed delay h and its time derivative

for guaranteeing the asymptotic stability of system (20). It is clear that our new method produces better results than those in [11], [12] and [13].Table 2. Allowable delay bound h for differentμ

A class of interconnected switched neutral-type system with time-varying delays has been investigated in this paper. By means of an augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional form combined with slack matrices, singular model transformation technique, Finsler’s lemma and weighting-delay approach, an improved delay-derivative-dependent stability criterion is derived in terms of matrix inequalities. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness and benefits of the proposed criterion.
