Abstract

Delay phenomena are commonly encountered in modeling population dynamics, transportation, propagation, and interactions between coupled dynamics through material, energy, and communication flows. Time-delay systems (TDSs) have been widely investigated in the past decade following the explosive growth of communications and network exchanges. It turns out that time-delays are ubiquitous in technologically-based control systems and possibly degrade the closed-loop system performance. To this end, this chapter addresses the role of delays and surveys major issues pertaining ...
