Time delay is very
often encountered in various technical systems, such as electric,
pneumatic and hydraulic networks, chemical processes, long transmission
lines, robotics, etc.
The existence of pure time lag, regardless if it is present in the
control or/and the state, may cause undesirable system transient
response, or even instability.
Consequently, the problem of controllability, observability, robustness,
optimization, adaptive control, pole placement and particularly
stability and robustness stabilization for this class of systems, has
been one of the main interests for many scientists and researchers
during the last five decades.
