DECENTRALIZED STABILIZATION OF A CLASS OF INTERCONNECTED SYSTEMS

This paper is concerned with the decentralized stabilization of continuous and discrete linear interconnected systems with the structural constraints about the interconnection matrices. For the continuous case,the main improvement in the paper as compared with the corresponding results in the literature is to extend the considered class of systems from S to S (both will be defined in the paper) without resulting in high decentralized gain and difficult numerical computation. The algorithm for obtaining decentralized state feedback control to stable the overall system is presented. The discrete case and some very useful results are discussed as well.

ON DECENTRALIZED STABILIZATION OF LINEAR LARGE SCALE SYSTEMS WITH SYMMETRIC CIRCULANT STRUCTURE

The decentralized stabilization of continuous and discrete linear large scale systems with symmetric circulant structure was studied.A few sufficient conditions on decentralized stabilization of such systems were proposed.For the continuous systems,by introducing a concept called the magnitude of interconnected structure,a very important property that the decentralized stabilization of such systems is fully determined by the structure of each isolated subsystem that is obtained when the magnitude of interconnected structure of the overall system is given.So the decentralized stabilization of such systems can be got by only appropriately designing or modifying the structure of each isolated subsystem,no matter how complicated the interconnected structure of the overall system is.A algorithm for obtaining decentralized state feedback to stabilize the overall system is given.The discrete systems were also discussed.The results show that there is a great dfference on decentralized stabilization between continuous case and discrete case.

DECENTRALIZED STABILIZATION OF LARGE-SCALE LINEAR INTERCONNECTED SYSTEMS WITH TIME-VARYING DELAYS

The decentralized stabilization conditions for large-scale linear interconnection systems with time-varying delays were established by using some different decomposition cases of interconnection matrices, and a method for designing the decentralized local memoryless state feedback controllers was proposed. All of the considered delays are continuous function, and satisfy some conditions.

Passivity-based decentralized stabilization of multi-agent systems with uncertainty and mixed delays

In this paper, we investigate a decentralized stabilization problem of uncertain multi-agent systems with mixed delays including discrete and distributed time-varying delays based on passivity stability. We design a decentralized state-feedback stabilization scheme such that the family of closed-loop feedback subsystems enjoys the delay-dependent passivity stability for each subsystem. Then, by employing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii function, a linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach is developed to establish the delay-dependent criteria for the passivity stability of multi-agent systems. The sufficient condition is given for checking the passivity stability. The proposed LMI result is computationally efficient. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the method.

Robust decentralized adaptive stabilization for a class of interconnected systems

The robust decentralized adaptive output-feedback stabilization for a class of interconnected systems with static and dynamic interconnections by using the MT-filters and backstepping design method is studied. By introducing a new filtered transformation, the adaptive laws were derived for measurement. Under the assumption of the nonlinear growth conditions imposed on the nonlinear interconnections and by constructing the error system and using a new proof method, the global stability of the closed-loop system was effectively analyzed, and the exponential convergence of all the signals except for parameter estimates were guaranteed.

Stability Criteria for Large－Scale Linear Systems with Structured Uncertainties

The robust stability analysis for large scale linear systems with structured time varying uncertainties is investigated in this paper.By using the scalar Lyapunov functions and the properties of M matrix and nonnegative matrix,stability robustness measures are proposed.The robust stability criteria obtained are applied to derive an algebric criterion which is expressed directly in terms of plant parameters and is shown to be less conservative than the existing ones.A numerical example is given to demonstrate the stability criteria obtained and to compare them with the previous ones.
