Author's reply to comments on "Decentralized stabilization of interconnected systems with time-varying delays"

This paper is a response to the comments on the paper titled "Decentralized Stabilization of Interconnected Systems With Time-Varying Delays". This response states that it was clearly mentioned that the paper deals with a class of interconnected systems where time-varying delay factors are within the local subsystems and across subsystems as well. As per the standard formulations of large-scale systems, the interconnection term should have been expressed as Σ
_k≠3
^ns
E
_jk
x
_k
(t - η
_j
k) and this silly oversight seemed to create a sort of an overall misunderstanding.
