A Partial Solution of the Aizerman Problem for Second-Order Systems With Delays
This paper considers the Aizerman problem for second-order systems with delays. It is proved that for retarded systems with a single delay the Aizerman conjecture is true. For systems with multiple delays, a delay-dependent class of systems is found, for which the Aizerman conjecture is true. The proof is based on the Popov's frequency-domain criterion for absolute stability.
