Abstract—Time delay is usually inevitable in a system consisting of spatially and/or wirelessly interconnected units or subsystems. This paper deals with the fundamental problem of stability and contractive performance for systems interconnected over an undirected graph with time delay in the states of subsystems. A sufficient condition for the well-posedness, delay-dependent stability and contractiveness of such systems is derived by means of finite-dimensional linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which provides a useful tool for further exploration of the controller design problem. A numerical example is also presented to show the validity of the obtained results.
