Part II deals with the design problem of generalized linear controllers for linear systems with after-effect so that the resulting closed-loop system is globally uniformly asymptotically stable in the Lyapunov's sense. The controllers are universal in the sense that they include the usual delays (namely, point, distributed and mixed point-distributed delays) which can be finite, infinite or even time-varying. The stability is formulated in terms of sufficient conditions depending, in general, on the system parameters and delays. It is shown that a stabilizing controller can be designed by using the well-known Kronecker product of matrices provided that a stabilizing controller exists in the absence of external (or, input) delay.
