Some new delay-dependent finite-time stability (FTS) conditions are provided and applied to the design problem of FT controllers. First, based on a new integral inequality and a simple Lyapunov-Krasovskii Functional (LKF), delay-dependent FTS criteria are proposed by introducing some free-weighting matrices. Thus, a new approximation of the unique integral that appears in the LKF derivative is proposed using an integral inequality, called free-matrix-based integral inequality (FMII). Then, memoryless and memory state-feedback controllers (MSC and MC) are designed to ensure FTS of delay-dependent uncertain systems, which are less conservative than others found in the literature. Although some results improve the stability criteria, FTS has received little attention, and more results can be attained to reduce the conservatism. That is the keystone of our research. The time-varying delays are bounded and differentiable with upper bound of delay derivatives. Also, the sufficient conditions obtained in this paper are established in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) to achieve the desired performance. 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.
