Passivity theory has recently contributed to developing decentralized control schemes for large-scale systems. Many decentralized passivity-based control schemes are designed in continuous-time. It is well-known, however, that the passivity…

Control in a classical transfer function or state-space setting typically views a controller as a signal processor: sensor outputs are mapped to actuator inputs. In behavioral system theory, control is simply viewed as interconnection; the…

A common approach to distributed control design is to impose sparsity constraints on the controller structure. Such constraints, however, may greatly complicate the control design procedure. This paper puts forward an alternative structure,…
The distributed observer design problem holds significant importance in cases in which the output information of a system is decentralized across different subsystems. Each subsystem has a local observer and access to one part of the…
