Abstract
This paper studies the robustness of large-scale interconnected systems with respect to external disturbances, focussing on their scalability properties. Specifically, a notion of scalability is introduced that asks for these robustness properties to remain unchanged under a structural change of the system, such as the addition/removal of a subsystem or a change in the interconnection structure. Both necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of the interconnection structure and edge weights, are given under which elementary structural changes are scalable. The results are illustrated through a simple example.
