“…In particular, the time delay under consideration is time‐varying, which is a more realistic condition, rather than constant time‐delay. - Secondly, we derive a sufficient delay‐dependent condition in the form of LMI for checking the well‐posedness, exponential stability and contractiveness of the given systems. This result can also be applied to spatially interconnected discrete‐time systems subject to constant time‐delay, that is to say, this result is a generalisation of the result in [11].
- Thirdly, based on the stability and performance analysis result for spatially interconnected discrete‐time systems with time‐varying delay, a sufficient condition for guaranteeing the existence of a structure‐preserving reduced‐order system is derived.
