Comments on “Wirtinger-based integral inequality: Application to time-delay systems [Automatica 49 (2013) 2860–2866]”

In a recent paper (Automatica 49 (2013) 2860–2866), the Wirtinger-based inequality has been introduced to derive tractable stability conditions for time-delay or sampled-data systems. We point out that there exist two errors in Theorem 8 for the stability analysis of sampled-data systems, and the correct theorem is presented.
