“…Delaydependent criteria are generally less conservative than delayindependent ones. In order to reduce the conservativeness of the robust stability and stabilization criteria, many methods have been proposed, such as the model transformation method [3]- [5], augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method [6]- [9], free weighting matrices method [10]- [12] and delay-partitioning method [13]- [15]. Recently, several stability criteria (i.e., [16,Theorem 1], [17,Theorem 1], [18,Theorem 1], [19,Theorem 1] and [20, Theorem 1, ii)]) obtained by different methods have been proved in theory to have the same solvability in [20], and further, a less conservative stability criterion is provided in [20] by using delay-partitioning method.…”
