To improve the performance and reduce the conservatism of developed results over a FT (finite-time) interval, a new analysis and design technique is proposed in this paper. Then, a system is said to be FT stable if, at a certain time interval, its state does not exceed some bounds. Hence, novel delay-dependent finite-time stability (FTS) conditions are provided for discrete-time linear systems subject to time-varying delay. The delay-dependent stability criteria, which take into account the information on the size of time delays, are less conservative than delay-independent ones. Then, the obtained conditions are applied to the design problem of FT controllers. For this reason, a new approximation of the single summation that appears in the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is studied using an innovative Free-Matrix-Based-Integral (FMBI) inequality. This has led to the proposal of new conditions in the form of LMIs that ensure FTS. Although some results improve the stability criteria, FTS has received little attention, and more results can be obtained to reduce the conservatism. That is the keystone of our research. To illustrate the potential gain of employing this new approach, a detailed numerical example is provided. Finally, a less conservative LMI-based design is proposed and solved with MATLAB showing very good results.
