Decentralized stabilization of large-scale linear interconnected systems with time-varying delays (Q1841457)

The authors present some sufficient conditions for decentralized stabilization of large scale systems with time varying delays existing in the crosscouplings. The delay independent local control law which ensures stability of the overall closed loop system is obtained via a Lyapunov type technique leading to a system of Riccati equations. The proof of the condition is efficient in the sense that it provides a way of designing the decentralized local memoryless state feedback controllers. The proposed design technique gives some degrees of freedom though the way how to use them is not quite clear. The problem with the paper is that its English is rather poor.
