Reduction model approach for systems with a time-varying delay

We provide a reduction model approach for achieving global exponential stabilization of linear systems with a time-varying pointwise delay in the input. We allow the delay to be discontinuous and uncertain. We also provide a stability result based on a different dynamic extension that ensures input-to-state stability with respect to additive uncertainties on the dynamics. Instead of the usual Lyapunov-Krasovskii or Razumikhin methods, we use a trajectory based approach.
