This paper addresses the problem of absolute stability of Lurie system with interval time-varying delay. The delay range is divided into two equal segments and an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) is defined. A tighter bounding technique for the derivative of LKF is developed. This bounding technique in combination with the Wirtinger inequality is used to develop the absolute stability criterion in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The stability analysis is also extended to the Lurie system with norm-bounded parametric uncertainties. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been illustrated through a numerical example and Chua's oscillator.
