This paper focuses on the design problem of a memoryless state feedback robust H-infinity controller for a class of uncertain neutral systems. By using a newly established integral inequality, a new delay-dependent bounded real lemma for such systems is derived without involving a fixed model transformation. Furthermore, new delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the existence of robust H-infinity controllers are presented in terms of nonlinear matrix inequalities. A design procedure involving an iterative algorithm is also proposed to design such controllers. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the less conservatism of the proposed method.
