Stability analysis for sampled-data systems with a time-varying period

This paper proposes a novel stability analysis of linear systems with sampled-data inputs. Inspired by the input-delay approach and the stability of impulsive systems, this method provides novel sufficient stability conditions. The stability analysis concerns both constant and time-varying sampling periods. The delay-dependent conditions are expressed using computable linear matrix inequalities. Several examples show the efficiency and the limitation of such stability criteria.
