The current limitation in the synthesis of distributed $\mathscr{H}_2$ controllers for linear interconnected systems is scalability due to non-convex or unstructured synthesis conditions. In this paper we develop convex and structured…
Supersymmetry allows one to build a hierarchy of Hamiltonians that share the same spectral properties and which are pairwise connected through common superpotentials. The iso-spectral properties of these Hamiltonians imply that the dynamics…
