报告摘要：This talk presents several Lyapuov stability theorems for infinite-delayed systems and their applications. Those theorems are developed based on a general model of infinite-delayed systems and a newly proved key technical lemma. The stability results are more general than existing stability results, and the corresponding conditions are more easily satisfied than existing ones. These new Lyapunov theorems are then applied to the problems of stabilizing both time-invariant and time-varying linear systems with distributed infinite input delays, and the corresponding stabilizing controllers are developed. A distinctive advantage of the Lyapunov based time domain method proposed in this paper over the existing frequency domain method is that the former can be adopted to deal with more general systems, such as time-varying linear systems or even nonlinear systems. Examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.
