J. Text. Univ. 22, No. 4, 482-487 (2009).} \itemab Summary: The problem of robust stability for a class of uncertain neutral systems with time-varying delay and nonlinear uncertainties is studied. By choosing appropriate Lyapunov functions, and using the transform of Leibniz-Newton formulas as well as the free matrices, a new delay-dependent stability criterion is presented by Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) which can be easily solved by the LMI toolbox in {\tt Matlab}. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed techniques. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{uncertain neutral system; asymptotic stability; nonlinear uncertainty; time-varying delay; linear matrix inequality} \itemli{} \end
