With the aid of disturbance observer strategy, this article aims to investigate the disturbance rejection and stabilization problems for periodic piecewise time-varying systems that are subject to time-varying delays, parameter uncertainties, nonlinear perturbations and exogenous disturbances. To be more specific, the periodic piecewise time-varying systems are built by segmenting the fundamental period of periodic systems into a limited number of subintervals. Further, the disturbances engendered from an exogenous system are estimated by deploying the disturbance observer and subsequently, on the premise of disturbance that is esimated, a robust controller protocol is constructed for the considered system. Moreover, by bridging the time-varying periodic piecewise Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional with a matrix polynomial lemma, a set of adequate criteria is framed, which confirms the asymptotic stability of the system that is being addressed. Subsequently, on the premise of established criteria, the design of periodic piecewise gain matrices of devised controller and configured observer are presented. Eventually, the importance and potential of the presented theoretical concepts are evidenced through offering a numerical illustration with the simulation results.
