INPUT-OUTPUT ENERGY DECOUPLING OF LINEAR TIME-DELAY SYSTEMS

This paper presents an input output energy decoupling method for linear systems with time varying delay. It is an approximate decoupling method, under which the energy of every input controls mainly the energy of a corresponding output and influences the energy of other outputs as weakly as possible. The decoupling performance of this method is a compromise between the dynamic decoupling and the static decoupling. The results are obtained in terms of LMIs.
