Decentralized guaranteed cost stabilization of time-delay large-scale systems based on reduced-order observers

This paper addresses the problem of decentralized guaranteed cost stabilization (DGCS) of large-scale systems with delays both in the isolated subsystems and interconnections based on reduced-order observers. Sufficient conditions for the existence of delay-independent decentralized guaranteed cost controller (DGCC) are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Furthermore, a convex optimization problem with LMIs constraints is formulated to design the optimal DGCC which minimizes the guaranteed cost of the closed-loop large-scale systems. Finally, a simulation is performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
