We show that the class of regular time-varying systems is invariant under perturbations by time-varying state and input delays. In particular, we give explicit formulas of the resulting input, output and input–output maps. This result is used to solve the feedback problem for the delayed system. The relationship between the open- and the closed-loop system is investigated. Our results are applied to a parabolic boundary control problem with input and state delays.
