The robust control problem is investigated for nonlinear time delay systems with triangular structure. The uncertain delay disturbances are bounded by nonlinear functions with unknown coefficients. Via the backstepping method, we construct a state feedback controller with the help of Razumikhin lemma. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, we show that the resulting closed-loop system is UUB stable. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
