Main Results:
- A memoryless dual-observer-based controller is successfully designed and its stability is proven.
- The proposed controller offers a smaller dimension compared to reduced-order observer-based controllers when the system has more inputs than outputs.
- The design and stability analysis require more intricate mathematical tools, such as advanced Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals.
- Numerical simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed stabilization method.
Conclusions:
- The developed memoryless dual-observer-based controller provides an effective solution for stabilizing linear systems with input and output delays.
- The approach is versatile, applicable to both continuous-time and discrete-time systems.
- The method offers potential advantages in controller dimensionality, particularly for systems with an excess of inputs over outputs.

In an underdamped second-order system, where the damping ratio ζ is between 0 and 1, a unit-step input results in a transfer function that, when transformed using the inverse Laplace method, reveals the output response. The output exhibits a damped sinusoidal oscillation, and the difference between the input and output is termed the error signal. This error signal also demonstrates damped oscillatory behavior. Eventually, as the system reaches a steady state, the error diminishes to zero.

Feedback control systems are categorized in various ways based on their design, analysis, and signal types.
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

A system is linear if it displays the characteristics of homogeneity and additivity, together termed the superposition property. This principle is fundamental in all linear systems. Linear time-invariant (LTI) systems include systems with linear elements and constant parameters.
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be...

Linearity is a system property characterized by a direct input-output relationship, combining homogeneity and additivity.
Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:
