Exact and approximate decoupling and noninteracting control problems
(1989) Akar, Nail
In this thesis, we consider “exact” and “approximate” versions of the disturbance decoupling problem and the noninteracting control problem for linear, time-invariant systems. In the exact versions of these problems, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an internally stabilizing dynamic output feedback controller such that prespecified interactions between certain sets of inputs and certain sets of outputs are annihilated in the closed-loop system. In the approximate version of these problems we require these interactions to be quenched in the ‘Hoo sense, up to any degree of accuracy. The solvability of the noninteracting control problems are shown to be equivalent to the existence of a common solution to two linear matrix equations over a principal ideal domain. A common solution to these equations exists if and only if the equations each have a solution and a bilateral matrix equation is solvable. This yields a system theoretical interpretation for the solvability of the original noninteracting control problem.

A unification and comparison of the methods of construction for decentralized stabilizing controllers
(1993) Koçan, Ali Aydın
In this thesis, the construction and characterization methods that use stable proper fractional representation for the solution of decentralized stabilization problem is presented in a unified manner. Four methods of construction are given starting with a right coprime fractional representation of the plant over the ring of stable transfer functions. One of these methods is a new construction procedure that exploits the Smith-McMillan canonical form. Connections between some of the characterization methods are explicitly shown.
