Abstract :
The decoupling problem is considered for a class of multi-input multi-output time-delay systems, the parameters of which do not satisfy the conditions for total decoupling, i.e. the conditions for decouplin all input/output pairs. It is shown that in this case it is possible to decouple number of input/output pairs equal to the rank of the decoupling matrix. The partial decoupling procedure is illustrated by means of an example.
