This paper deals with the problem of robust reliable control for a class of uncertain neutral delay systems. The aim was to design a state feedback controller such that the plant remained stable for all admissible uncertainties as well as actuator faults among a prespeci®ed subset of actuators or sector-type actuator non-linearity, independently of the delay time. A linear matrix inequality approach was developed to solve the problem addressed with an H1 norm bound constraint on disturbance attenuation.
