Nonlinear function satisfies the sector condition in [0,∞]

This paper considers the absolute stability for Lur’e systems with time-varying delay and sector-bounded nonlinear. In this paper, a new relaxed condition based on delay decomposition approach is proposed. By using this technique and employing some inequality, the new delay-dependent stability criteria for Lur’e systems are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A numerical example is presented to show less conservatism of proposed methods compared with the previous.
