On the Asymptotic Stability of Linear Discrete Time Delay Systems

This paper extends some of the basic results in the area of Lyapunov (asymptotic) to linear, discrete, time invariant time-delay systems. These results are given in the form of only sufficient conditions and represent other generalisation of some previous ones or completely new results. In the latter case it is easy to show that, in the most cases, these results are less conservative then those in existing literature. A numerical example has been working out to show the applicability of results derived. To the best knowledge of the authors, such results have not yet been reported.
