By constructing a set of Lyapunov\?Krasovskii functionals and utilizing the Newton\?Leibniz formula, a delay\-dependent stabilizability condition which is expressed in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities \(LMIs\) is derived to ensure the closed\-loop system is exponentially stable with a prescribed \?\-convergence rate."]
