Control under structural constraints: An input-output approach

From MaRDI portal





An input-output approach to three optimal control problems under decentralized information structure constraints for linear discrete-time plants and controllers with one-step delay observation sharing pattern is presented: \(l^1\), \(H^{\infty}\) and \(H^2\) (or LQG) optimal disturbance rejection. The main result of this approach is the transformation of the decentralized constraints on the controller to linear constraints on the Youla parameter that parametrizes all controllers, as long as the part of the plant that relates controls to measurements possesses the same off-diagonal structure required in the controller. Under this condition, \(l^1\), \(H^{\infty}\), \(H^2\) optimization transform to nonstandard but convex problems that can be solved by suitably utilizing the Duality, Nehari and Projection theorems, resp. If this condition is satisfied, problems with \(n\)-step delay observation sharing patterns with \(n>1\) or with fully decentralized operation can be solved in a similar way. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0918.00041].
