A new efficient algorithm for the computation of the stability chart of linear time delay systems is proposed and tested on several examples. The stability chart is obtained by investigating the 2d-parameter space by a first coarse square grid which is then adaptively refined by triangulation to match the desired tolerance. This leads to a considerable reduction in computational cost with respect to investigate a uniform fine square grid. Stability of each point is determined by approximating the rightmost characteristic root real part via a numerical scheme recently developed by the authors and based on pseudospectral differencing methods. A Matlab code is included in appendix.

In this paper, we deal with the robust stabilizability of the class of uncertain linear time-delay systems with Markovian jumping parameters and unknown but bounded uncertainties. Under the assumption of the complete access to the continuous state, the stochastic controllability of the nominal system and the boundedness of the system’s uncertainties, sufficient conditions which guarantee the robustness of the stability of this class of systems are given. The control law which guarantees the robustness of the stabilizability is linear-type or saturation-type. An example is presented to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed theoretical results.

Our research on stability criteria for linear systems with time delay in a frequency domain has brought in a new stability criterion that belongs to the group of graph-analytical stability criteria. Via the theory of functions with a complex variable, this criterion is based upon Cauchy’s theorem of argument and condition that for frequency ω varying from −∞ to +∞ the argument of function f*(jω,ejωτ) has positive change. In solution, as a graphic interpretation in the f* - plane, a spiral curve is obtained, which possesses some characteristics crucial for the stability of a system with time delay. Through given examples, simplicity and facility of criteria application to different cases of systems are shown.
