Decentralized Control and Filtering in Interconnected Dynamical Systems

<p>Based on the many approaches available for dealing with large-scale systems (LSS) <strong>Decentralized Control and Filtering in Interconnected Dynamical Systems</strong> supplies a rigorous framework for studying the analysis stability and control problems of LSS. Providing an overall assessment of LSS theories it addresses model order reduction parametric uncertainties time delays and control estimator gain perturbations. </p><p>Taking readers on a guided tour through LSS the book examines recent trends and approaches and reviews past methods and results from a contemporary perspective. It traces the progress of research along three eras:</p><ol> <p> </p> <li> <em>Fundamental era</em> in which the basic conceptual frameworks major ideas and operational methodologies are laid down </li> <li> <em>Contemporary era</em> in which several of the workable methods and techniques are established and applied to many application areas</li> <li> <em>Advanced era</em> in which different high-level schemes and configurations are being developed to meet accelerated technological advancements</li> </ol><p>Focusing on robust reliable and/or resilient decentralized design methods based on linear matrix inequalities framework the author offers suggestions for improvements to current approaches. He addresses the dominating sources of difficulties due to dimensionality information structure constraints uncertainties and time delays. Drawing attention to key issues the text is supported by proofs efficient computational methods end-of-chapter problems and approximately 1300 equations.</p>
