Reachable Set Estimation for Discrete-Time Systems with Interval Time-Varying Delays and Bounded Disturbances by Jiemei Zhao, Yin Sheng

“…A triple-summation term, the upper bound, and the lower bound of time-varying delay are introduced into the Lyapunov function. In this case, an improved delay-range-dependent criterion is established for the addressed problem by constructing the appropriate Lyapunov functional, which guarantees that the reachable set of discrete-time systems with time-varying delay and bounded peak inputs is contained in the ellipsoid. …”
