“…Time-delay systems have received an increasing interest in the last years (see, for instance, [2,3,4,5,6,7,12,13,15,17,18,20,21] since, apart from their inherent theoretical interest, they are also of interest in practical applications like, for instance, transmission lines, dynamics of fluids, or population growth rules [3,4,18]. One of the main characteristics of such systems is that they are infinite dimensional [4,6,7,12,13,17], making the controller design more complex than for the delay-free case [2,6,12,13,15,17,20,21].…”
