Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to consider linear constant systems composed of interconnected subsystems, and explore possibilities for locally optimal control strategies to become a globally optimal control law for the overall system. Modifications of performance indices and decentralized control laws are considered which result in centrally optimal systems having robust stability properties. A class of interconnected systems is specified in terms of the interconnection structure, which can always be optimized by decentralized feedback.
