Abstract :
We present an input-output point of view for the problem of sensitivity minimization of stable plants when a decentralized structure and a disturbance decoupling property are imposed on the controller. We show that this problem is convex and present approaches to its solution in the non-trivial case, that is when the block off-diagonal terms of the plant have more columns than rows
