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 …

Variable Structure Systems (VSSs) have been studied extensively for over 60 years and
widely used in practical applications. A particular interest in VSS is the so-called Sliding …

Intermittent nature of renewable energies and random nature of moving loads negatively
influence the power system transient stability. Energy storage can enhance the system …

A decentralized simple adaptive control is proposed for the vibration suppression of large
space structures (LSS) with distributed actuators and sensors. The LSS is viewed as a set of …

Despite the closed-loop performance advantages of centralized multivariable controllers, the
great majority of industrial process control applications is still based on decentralized …

In this paper, a class of interconnected systems with mismatched uncertainties is
considered. A sliding surface is proposed in an augmented space formed by the system …

In the present paper, a decentralized control algorithm is considered for actively controlling
the response of flexible tall building structures under earthquake excitations. Sliding mode …

Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, a methodology for designing a decentralised
adaptive sliding mode control scheme is proposed in this paper. This scheme is …

With the advancement of science and technology, practical systems are becoming more
complex. Decentralised control has been recognised as a practical, feasible and powerful …

This paper presents a loop pairing method for determining the control configuration for multi-
input–multi-output (MIMO) processes represented by Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy models …
