“…Hence, much effort has been devoted to eliminating the negative effects of time-delays onto whole system performance and a great number of SMC techniques have been developed for delayed systems with different types of time-delays, see e.g. Qi, Park, Cheng, & Kao (2017), Jiang, Kao, & Gao (2017), Hu, Wang, Gao, & Stergioulas (2012b) and Wu, Su, & Shi (2012). To be specific, the problem of robust stabilization has been tackled in Qi et al (2017) for semi-MJSs with time-varying delays via SMC method.…”
