On design of dynamic output feedback controller for GCS of large-scale systems with delays in interconnections: LMI optimization approach (Q1763309)

The author considers the large scale system \[ \dot{x}_i(t) = A_ix_i(t) + \sum_{j\neq i}^nA_{ij}x(t-h_{ij}) + B_iu_i(t) \] \[ y_i=C_ix_i\;\;,\;i=1,\dots,n \] where for each subsystem a local dynamic feedback controller is considered: \[ \dot{\xi}_i = A_{ci}\xi_i + B_{ci}u_i \] \[ y_i = C_{ci}\xi_i \] To each subsystem the following quadratic cost is associated: \[ J_i = \int_0^\infty(x_i^T(t)Q_ix_i(t) + u_i^T(t)R_iu_i(t))dt \] The paper aims to give a synthesis procedure for the controllers in order to make the resulting closed loop exponentially stable and \(J_i\leq J_i^*\) where \(J_i^*\) are specified constants. Two criteria for the existence of these guaranteed cost stabilization controllers are obtained using the Lyapunov theory and expressed through Linear Matrix Inequalities.
