LQ Regulator of Systems with Multiple Time-Delays by Memoryless Feedback

A method to construct a memoryless feedback law for systems with multiple time-delays in the states is proposed. As a plant model, a differential-difference equation with multiple delayed terms is introduced, A stabilizability condition by memoryless feedback is presented. A feedback gain is calculated with a solution of a finite dimensional Riccati equation. It is shown that the resulting closed loop system is asymptotically stable, and moreover, it is a linear quadratic regulator for some cost functional. An alternative stabilizability condition which is easier to check is given.
