Abstract :
Decentralized regulation for a string of coupled linear systems is studied. Available to each controller is localized information, represented by linear functions of the state. Necessary conditions for the optimal time-invarient linear regulators are established. The theory can be applied for designing simple on-board computers for regulating a string of moving vehicles.
