New absolute stability criteria for neutral-type delayed Lur'e systems

This paper is concerned with the absolute stability analysis of neutral-type Lur'e systems with interval time-varying delays and sector-bounded nonlinearity. By using the reciprocally convex technique, convex technique and Wirtinger-type integral inequality simultaneously, neutral-delay-range-dependent absolute stability criteria are presented. The obtained criteria can be regarded as an extensive version of all existing results, since the latters are independent from the lower or upper bounds of the neutral delay. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
