Abstract
We consider one-dimensional, time-invariant sampled-data linear
systems with constant feedback gain, an arbitrary fixed time delay, which
is a multiple of the sampling period and a zero-order hold for reconstructing
the sampled signal of the system in the feedback control. We obtain
sufficient conditions on the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial associated
with the system. We get these conditions by finding both lower
and upper bounds on the coefficients. These conditions let us give both an
estimation of the maximum value of the sampling period and an interval
on the controller gain that guarantees the stabilization of the system.
