“…The stabilisation of linear time-delay systems is a topic of major concern in control systems theory and a substantial amount of results have contributed to develop and partially solve this problem; without being exhaustive, possible approaches for stability analysis and stabilization are the use of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and LMI conditions (see for instance [5,25,27]), the direct eigenvalue optimization approach ( [28]), the continuous pole placement method ( [17]) and the use of prediction based controllers (see [14] and references therein, [24,20]). We refer the reader interested in a general overview on the many different stabilisation methods to the monographs [22], [7] and [21].…”
