In this paper, the robust stability of uncertain linear systems with multiple time delays is studied. Sufficient conditions for robust stability of linear time delay systems with convex perturbations are obtained. From these sufficient conditions, a few results on robust stability of systems with other perturbations are derived. Some previously known sufficient conditions are generalized.
