摘要：AbstractIt is shown that strictly proper neutral time delay systems having at least one asymptotic pole chain converging to a vertical lineRe(s) = σ >0 cannot be stabilized by a proper controller. A special coprime factorization can be obtained for such systems with infinitely many unstable poles, provided they are bi-proper (i.e. proper, but not strictly proper). From this factorization, stabilizing feedback controllers are obtained. Necessarily, all stabilizing controllers for this type of plants are also bi-proper.
