"Stability Analysis and Robust Control of Time-Delay Systems" focuses on essential aspects of this field, including the stability analysis, stabilization, control design, and filtering of various time-delay systems. Primarily based on the most recent research, this monograph presents all the above areas using a free-weighting matrix approach first developed by the authors. The effectiveness of this method and its advantages over other existing ones are proven theoretically and illustrated by means of various examples. The book will give readers an overview of the latest advances in this active research area and equip them with a pioneering method for studying time-delay systems. It will be of significant interest to researchers and practitioners engaged in automatic control engineering.

From the reviews:
“This book concerns the stability analysis and robust control of various time-delay systems … . This book should prove useful both to the theorists and mathematicians working with time-delay systems and to the beginner looking for a reference text on this subject. The main contribution in this book is, in my opinion, that the authors creatively propose the FWM approach, which is proved to be the most effective method for time-delay systems analysis and will play an active role in the future.” (Ji Tao Sun, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 d)
