© 2020 Diogenes Co., Sofia. The Lyapunov function method is a powerful tool to stability analysis of functional differential equations. However, this method is not effectively applied for fractional differential equations with delay, since the constructing Lyapunov-Krasovskii function and calculating its fractional derivative are still difficult. In this paper, to overcome this difficulty we propose an analytical approach, which is based on the Laplace transform and "inf-sup" method, to study finite-time stability of singular fractional differential equations with interval time-varying delay. Based on the proposed approach, new delay-dependent sufficient conditions such that the system is regular, impulse-free and finite-time stable are developed in terms of a tractable linear matrix inequality and the Mittag-Leffler function. A numerical example is given to illustrate the application of the proposed stability conditions.
