TLDR
Using the quantitative definition of weak coupling proposed by Milne, a suboptimal control policy for the weakly coupled system is derived and questions of performance degradation and of stability of such suboptimally controlled systems are answered.Abstract:
A method is proposed to obtain a model of a dynamic system with a state vector of high dimension. The model is derived by "aggregating" the original system state vector into a lower-dimensional vector. Some properties of the aggregation method are investigated in the paper. The concept of aggregation, a generalization of that of projection, is related to that of state vector partition and is useful not only in building a model of reduced dimension, but also in unifying several topics in the control theory such as regulators with incomplete state feedback, characteristic value computations, model controls, and bounds on the solution of the matrix Riccati equations, etc. Using the quantitative definition of weak coupling proposed by Milne, a suboptimal control policy for the weakly coupled system is derived. Questions of performance degradation and of stability of such suboptimally controlled systems are also answered in the paper.read more

An algorithm for the computer simulation of very large dynamic systems
TL;DR: The proposed algorithm has a truncation error of 0(h"5) where h is the step-size, is numerically stable for any h provided the original system is stable and the Lipschitz constant is small enough, and will give exact steady-state solutions for constant input systems for anyh.

Canonical forms for aggregated models

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that starting with canonical forms of linear multivariable systems, it is possible to obtain an aggregated reduced-order model which retains the same structure as the original canonical form but with smaller blocks.

Decomposition Principle for Linear Programs

TL;DR: A technique is presented for the decomposition of a linear program that permits the problem to be solved by alternate solutions of linear sub-programs representing its several parts and a coordinating program that is obtained from the parts by linear transformations.

Estimation of the state vector of a linear stochastic system with a constrained estimator
TL;DR: In this article, a constructive design procedure for the problem of estimating the state vector of a discrete-time linear stochastic system with time-invariant dynamics when certain constraints are imposed on the number of memory elements of the estimator is presented.
