Time-varying feedback for the stabilization of fixed modes in decentralized control systems (Q1117885)

The author considers finite dimensional linear systems of the form \(x(t+1)=Ax(t)+Bu(t)\), \(y(t)=Cx(t)\), \(t\in {\mathbb{Z}}\), which have a decentralized structure. Stabilization and pole assignment of fixed and structurally fixed modes by applying decentralized dynamic output feedback, is discussed. The classes of fixed modes which can respectively cannot be moved by time-varying feedback are identified.
