In this paper, the stability robustness of linear discrete-time descriptor systems with structured (elemental) parameter perturbations is investigated. A new sufficient criterion is presented for ensuring that the linear discrete-time descriptor system remains regular, impulse free, and asymptotically stable under structured (elemental) parameter perturbations. By mathematical analysis, the presented criterion is proved to be less conservative than the existing one reported recently.
