Sequential design of decentralized controllers

Abstract A procedure for sequential design of decentralized controllers for linear systems is presented. It is shown how to include a simple estimate of the effect of closing subsequent loops into the design problem for the loop which is to be closed. In the examples the robust performance in terms of the structured singular value is used as the measure of control performance, but the procedure may be applied also for other performance measures.
