This paper presents a survey of results on the spectrum-based robust stability analysis of linear delay ordinary differential equations (DODEs) and linear delay differential-algebraic equations (DDAEs). We focus on the formulation of stability radii for continuous-time delay systems with coefficients subject to structured perturbations. First, we briefly overview important results on the stability radii for linear time-invariant DODEs and an extended result for linear time-varying DODEs. Then, we survey some recent results on the spectrum-based stability and robust stability analysis for general linear time-invariant DDAEs.
IntroductionThis paper is concerned with the robust stability of homogeneous linear timeinvariant delay systems of the formwhere E; A; D 2 K n;n , K D R or K D C, and > 0 represents a time-delay. We study initial value problems with an initial function , so that x.t/ D .t/; for Ä t Ä 0: (19.2)
