Selection of overlapping interaction through approximate decentralized fixed mode measure
For control systems engineers, this offers a new selection criterion for overlapping control structures, but the improvement is incremental over existing minimal-overlap methods.
This work proposes a method for selecting overlapping control structures to remove decentralized fixed modes using an approximate decentralized fixed mode measure, and provides a framework to improve control cost. Numerical examples demonstrate the approach.
This work considers the problem of selecting overlapping control structures to remove decentralized fixed modes. The selection of such controller is conventionally carried out based on minimal overlapping communications. In this paper, this selection is proposed to be through approximate decentralized fixed mode measure. Also, a framework for improving the control cost of approximate decentralized fixed modes through overlapping control is given. Application of the proposed selection is demonstrated through several numerical examples.
