Abstract

This paper studies stability problems of discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems subject to random time delays. Leveraging on a general mean-square, small-gain type stability condition for feedback systems containing structured stochastic multiplicative uncertainties, we derive mean-square small-gain stability conditions for LTI random delay systems, in which the delays may arise at random instants, or may have random delay lengths. We model the random delays as structured, correlated stochastic uncertainties and obtained necessary and sufficient mean-square stability criteria. The criteria require computing the spectral radius of a constant matrix, which enable us to ascertain whether a system's state variance matrix converges asymptotically despite the presence of random delays. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
