Summary: The problem of absolute stability analysis for Lur’e systems with time-varying delay and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties is considered. By using a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, which splits the whole delay interval into two subintervals and by defining a different energy function on each subinterval, some new delay-dependent robust absolute stability criteria are presented in terms of strict linear matrix inequalities. The obtained delay-dependent criteria are less conservative than previous ones, which is illustrated by numerical examples.
