“…(1) Due to the adding of Z 5 and Z 6 respectively defined in (42) and ( 43) into the ∆V (k), several cross terms are introduced to give the relationship between the delayed states, x(k −τ (k)) and x(k −1), and the nonlinear function, f (y(k)), which are not used in the literature [3], [47], [49], [50] and provide extra freedom for finding the solutions of conditions in Theorem 1 so as to reduce the conservatism. (2) The summation term defined by J 1 , J 2 , and J 3 are bounded by using the Wirtinger-based summation inequality, while the similar terms are estimated based on a more conservative inequality, i.e., the Jensen-based summation inequality, in the previous literature [3], [47], [49], [50].…”
