title: Improved stabilization method for networked control systems with variable transmission delays and packet dropout.
abstract: This paper investigates the problem of stability analysis and stabilization for networked control systems with the network-induced delay and data dropout. In order to obtain less conservative results, a novel augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is introduced and new free-weighting matrices are employed to make some extra degrees of freedom in the sufficient stabilizability condition. The gain of the memoryless state-feedback controller is computed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Illustrative examples are given to verify the applicability and outperformance of the proposed method compared to the existing approaches in the literature.
