The paper reviews the past and present results in the area of decentralized control of large-
scale complex systems. An emphasis is laid on decentralization, decomposition, and …

The continuous growth of air traffic demand, skyrocketing fuel price, and increasing
concerns on safety and environmental impact of air transportation necessitate the …

This paper deals with one of the possible ways to control multivariable (MIMO) control loops.
The suggested control design procedure uses the so-called primary controllers, auxiliary …

We consider the problem of stabilizing a class of systems formed by a set of decoupled
subsystems (nodes) interconnected through a set of controllers (arcs). Controllers are …

We consider the flow control problem for a general class of compartmental nonlinear
systems, which can be associated with a graph whose nodes represent subsystems with …

We present an algorithm for constrained network flow control in the presence of an unknown
demand. Our algorithm is decentralized in the sense that it is implemented by a team of …

In this paper we consider a set of dynamically decoupled systems interconnected by control
agents. We can visualize this architecture as a graph where subsystems are associated to …

Feedback is both a pillar of control theory and a pervasive principle of nature. For this
reason, control-theoretic methods are powerful to analyse the dynamic behaviour of …

The problem of synthesizing network-decentralized observers arises when several agents,
corresponding to the nodes of a network, exchange information about local measurements …

A dynamical network is comprised of a finite number of subsystems, each having its own
dynamics, which interact according to a given interconnection topology. Dynamical networks …
