This paper describes the synthesis of robust nonfragile decentralized controllers for uncertain large-scale systems with time-delays in the subsystem interconnections and controller gain variations. Based on the Lyapunov method, a sufficient condition for robust stability is derived in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI), and the measure of nonfragility in controller is presented.
