Patterned linear systems: Rings, chains, and trees

In a first paper we studied system theoretic properties of patterned systems and solved classical control synthesis problems with the added requirement to preserve the system pattern. In this second paper we study canonical patterns: rings, chains, and trees, and we give examples drawn from multiagent systems, cellular chemistry, and control of diffusion processes.
