Two new delay-dependent bounded real lemmas (BRLs) are obtained in this paper, in which, Lyapunov theory is used to derive the first delay-dependent representation for BRL. Using a descriptor model transformation of the system and a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a less conservative bounded real lemma is obtained compared to that of the first BRL. Then sufficient conditions for the system to possess an H-norm less than a prescribed level, is given in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). The significant advantage of the derived bounded real lemmas is their efficiency in designing H controller for the closed-loop neutral systems when delayed term coefficients depend on the controller parameters. Numerical examples are given which illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed BRLs }, URL = {http://joc.kntu.ac.ir/article-1-154-en.html}, eprint = {http://joc.kntu.ac.ir/article-1-154-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Control}, doi = {}, year = {2010} }
