LYAPUNOV-KRASOVSKII METHOD AND STRONG DELAY-INDEPENDENT STABILITY OF LINEAR DELAY SYSTEMS Pierre-Alexandre Bliman .,1
• National Technical University, Dept of Mathematics, Zografou Campus, 157 80 Athens, Greece
Abstract: The issue of stability of linear systems with commensurate delays is considered. A precise link is established between a LMI condition obtained by use of quadratic Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, and the frequency domain condition of strong delay-independent stability. This comparison is achieved using an uncertainty analysis approach proposed by Chen and Latchman (1995) . Among other benefits, this permits to exhibit some classes of systems for which Lyapunov-Krasovskii method is nonconservative.

1. INTRODUCTION
(Kharitonov, 1998; Niculescu et al., 1998). This property is expressed as:
Some issues on the asymptotic stability of linear delay systems with commensurate delays are considered here. Define the system: ;i;

h) ,

Hale et al. have provided necessary and sufficient condition of asymptotic stability independent of the delay (Hale et al., 1985, Theorem 2.4), namely:
where A o, Al E IRNxN. As is well-known, for any given h ~ 0, the asymptotic stability of (1) is equivalent to VsECwith Res~O, det(sI-A o -e- sh A 1 ):l0 .
Rea(Ao + Ad < 0 ; V(s,z) E jIR x C with s:l 0, Izl = 1, det(sI - Ao - zAd :I 0 ,
Both for reasons of computational simplicity and stability robustness, the issue of stability of (1) independent of the delay h has been considered, see (Kamen, 1982; Kamen, 1983) and the surveys

On the other hand, sufficient condition for asymptotic stability independent of the delay has been given using Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method , see (Hale and Verduyn Lunel , 1993, 132134), (Verriest and Ivanov, 1994). More precisely, for P, Q E IRNxN, positive definite, denoting

We attempt here to clarify and compare the two previous approaches . In a previous paper (Bliman, 2000), it was proved that the success of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii method (more precisely, the existence of positive matrices P, Q providing negative R in (4)) implies a certain frequency domain condition closely related to (2) , and called strong delay-independent stability by Niculescu et al. (Niculescu et al., 1996). In the present paper, the same result is repeated and expanded (Theorem 1 below), with a proof notably simpler. Also, the link with uncertainty analysis approach (Chen and Latchman, 1995; Niculescu, 1999; Huang and Zhou , 1999) (J.l analysis) is made. This permits to exhibit some classes of systems for which Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach is nonconservative (Corollary 5). The result is then generalized to systems with multiple , commensurate delays (Theorem 6) . Further results on linear delay systems may be found in (Bliman and Niculescu , 2000) . Results of absolute stability for non linear delay systems, obtained with the same mathematical techniques , are given in (Bliman, 1999a; Bliman, 1999b).
Condition (6) denotes strong delay-independent stability (according to the terminology in Niculescu et al. (Niculescu et al., 1996)), and should be linked with (2) . The contents of Theorem 1 should be compared to the classical stability result for rational systems: one may equivalently characterize the stability of the linear system :i; = Aox, either by the existence of P, Q, positive definite, such that A6' P + P Ao + Q < 0, or by a frequency domain property, namely Rea(Ao) < O. Incidentally, the delay-free case is obtained in Theorem 1 when taking Al = 0. The sufficiency of (7) for delayindependent stability has been shown in (Verriest et al., 1993).
2. SYSTEMS WITH ONE DELAY
In the right-hand side of (8), min{IIM(sI M invertible} = J.ltl«sIAO)-l AlM-11I AO)-l Ad , where J.ltl represents the structured singular value associated to the uncertainty structure ~ = {UN : 0 E Cl , see (Zhou et al., 1996, Chapter 11) , and (Chen and Latchman, 1995; Niculescu , 1999; Huang and Zhou , 1999) in the context of delay systems. The result of Theorem 1 clearly underlines the conservatism inherent to the use of quadratic Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals of type (3).
Theorem 1. Consider the two following statements.
Remark 2. Condition (6) is equivalent (Hertz et al. , 1984, Remarks 1 and 2) to
(i) There exist P, Q E

(5)
Analogously, when (6b) holds, maximum modulus principle (see e.g. (Zhou et al. , 1996)) implies that condition (6a) may equivalently be replaced by Rea(Ao) < 0. 0
(ii) The following property holds:
Rea(Ao + Ad <

Izl = 1, det(sI - Ao - zAd f:-
V(s , z) E jJR x I(: with
f:- 0 .

Proof: By Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma (Rantzer, 1996), (i) is equivalent to

Rea(Ao) < 0, and 3Q = QT > 0, Vs E jIR, Ar(s" I - An-IQ(sI - AO)-I Al - Q
< 0,
(9)
which is itself equivalent to the right-hand side of (7): this provides (7).
The previous result is here generalized to the following class of systems: L
When Ao is Hurwitz, one has: Vs E C with Res ~ 0, min{lzl : z E C, det(sI - Ao - zAd} =max{lzl : zEiC, det(zI-(sI-Ao)-IAd}

Ao)-I Ad x(tx(t) - h)
mm IIM(sI-Ao)-IAIM-III, M invertible (
using (Zhou et al., 1996, p. 282). Using Remark 2, one deduces (8). The rest of the proof is straight0 forward. Remark 3. The equivalence (8) is proved in (Chen and Latchman, 1995, (3.4)-(3.5)) . 0 Remark 4. The implication (i) => (ii) may be proved more directly. One may apply discretetime version of Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma (Rantzer, 1996) to (9), leading directly to (ii), see (Bliman, 2000) . A particularity of this method is to enlighten the fact that matrix P (resp. Q) in (i) is linked with the continuous-time (resp. discrete-time) frequency domain variable s (resp. z) in (ii).
Alternatively, R being defined in (5), one may remark that

(12b) It is clear that the trajectories of system (10) may be obtained as projections of some trajectories of system (l1)i asymptotic stability of (11) hence implies asymptotic stability of (10). It turns out from the proof of Theorem 6, that strong delayindependent stability of (11) is indeed equivalent to strong delay-independent stability of (10), see Proposition 9 below. A natural Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional candidate for (11) is now: V(r/»

(i) There exist P , Q E JRLNxLN such that P
Proof: When Ao and Al commute and have distinct eigenvaiues, they may be diagonalized in a common basis (Gantmakher, 1959) . Taking for M in (7) the corresponding similarity transformation, one sees that both expressions in (7) and (8) are equal to max{p«sI - Ao)-I Ad : s E jJR}, whence the result . When either Ao or Al has nondistinct eigenvalues, one may find arbitrarily small matrices B such that Ao + B and Al + B commute (i.e. B and Ao - Al commute) and have distinct eigenvalues. It then suffices to apply the previous argument, and to make B -t O. 0

one may "rewrite" system (10) as:
For any Izl ~ 1 and any nonzero eigenvector v of Ao + zAI' with eigenvalue SEC, the previous identity implies that (s + s")v" Pv < 0: any eigenvaiue of Ao + zAI has negative real part. 0 Corollary 5. Suppose that Ao and Al commute. Then, conditions (i) and (ii) of Theorem 1 are equivalent. •

Remark 7. Same commentary than in Remark 2 holds; (15) may be globally replaced by: \:I(s , z) E C2 with Re s ~ 0, Iz l ~ 1, L

Reasoning as for Corollary 5, one gets:
Corollary 10. Suppose that Ao and A1 commute. Then, conditions (i) and (ii) of Theorem 6 are equivalent. • As an example, when L = 2, the assumption of Corollary 10 is fulfilled iff AoA1 = A1Ao , AoA2 = A 2A o , A1A2 = A2A1 and Af = O.

In particular, (i) implies (ii), and implies that the functional V defined in (13) is positive definite for any solution P , Q of (14) , and verifies, for any solution X of (11) : \:It ~ 0,
