The problem of reachable set estimation of linear uncertain polytopic time-varying delay systems subject to bounded peak inputs is studied in this paper. The delays considered in this paper are assumed to be non-differentiable and vary within an interval where the lower and upper bounds are known. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii method and delay decomposition technique, a sufficient condition for the existence of a ball that bounds the reachable set of the system is proposed in terms of matrix inequalities containing only one scalar which can be solved by using an one-dimensional search method and Matlab's LMI Toolbox and allow us to find the smallest radius. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed result. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
