Abstract-This
paper deals with the asymptotic stability of linear neutral systems with a single delay. Simple delay-independent stability criteria are derived in terms of the measure and norm of the corresponding matrices. The significance of the main criterion is that it takes into consideration the structure information of the system matrices A, B, and C, thus reducing the conservatism found in the existing results. @ 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

1. INTRODUCTION Asymptotic stability of neutral delay-differential systems is playing an increasingly important role in many disciplines such as engineering, science, and mathematics. A number of stability criteria based on the characteristic equation approach, involving the determination of eigenvalues, measures and norms of matrices, or matrix conditions in terms of Hurwitz matrices, have been presented by Stroinski [l], Hale et al. [2], Li [3], Hale and Verduyn Lunel [4], Hu and Hu [5], criteria (delay-independent Bellen et al. [6], Park and Won [7], and Hu et al. [S]. Some stability and/or delay-dependent) are given in terms of the Lyapunov function and matrix inequalities (see, for example, [g-14]). This paper investigates the problem of asymptotic stability of linear neutral systems with a single time delay. Scalar inequalities involving the measures and norms of the corresponding matrices constitute the mathematical foundations of our approach. Based on the characteristic equation of the system, simple delay-independent stability criteria are derived. Involving *Author

the structure information of the coefficient matrices A, B, and C, the new criteria can significantly reduce the conservation of the results in the literature. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity of our main criteria and to compare them with the existing ones.

Then, with simple computation, we have llCll = 0.3618, EAT= 1.1229 > 0, and EZT = -0.0194 < 0 for integer q = 8. Since EAT > 0, the conditions of Theorem 3.1 are not satisfied. However, according to Theorem 3.2, system (1) is asymptotically stable. This shows Theorem 3.2 is shaper than Theorem 3.1. Making the similarity transformation (19), we can calculate kl = 5.4564 > 0, rEg= 6.4858 > 0, k3 = 1.3514 > 0, and k4 = & = 1.0742 > 1. Thus, all the cited criteria are not applicable in this example.
