ON DECENTRALIZED OBSERVATION AND DECENTRALIZED CONTROL OF LARGE SCALE SYSTEMS

In this paper, the problem of decentralized observation and decentralized control of linear, time-invariant large scale systems is studied. Based on conventional observer theory, the necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of completely decentralized observer are obtained. Moreover, the necessary and sufficient condition is given for stabilization of large scale systems by local output with state of the subsystem estimated through the completely decentralized observer.
