Low dimensional stability criteria for large-scale interconnected systems

A low complexity stability criterion for a class of large-scale systems is derived from a spectral characterization of the interconnection operator. The interconnection is modeled such that it is easy to account for delay and bandwidth constraints. The result is applied to a heterogeneous vehicle platoon and a class of circularly interconnected systems.
