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

Hayek Enriched by Complexity Enriched by Hayek
TL;DR: Hayekian ideas are prominent precursors to the modern field of complex adaptive systems, including his ideas on spontaneous order, his focus on market processes, his contrast between designing and gardening, and his own framing of complex systems as discussed by the authors.

Quantitative Abstractions for Collective Adaptive Systems
Andrea Vandin,Mirco Tribastone +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter treats the problem of efficiently analysing large-scale CAS for quantitative properties and reviews algorithms to automatically reduce the dimensionality of a CAS model preserving modeller-defined state variables, with focus on descriptions based on systems of ordinary differential equations.

A new model order reduction method for the design of compensator by using moment matching algorithm
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is the construction of a new model reduction technique for large scale stable linear dynamic systems, principally focused on the dominant modes and time moments retention, which implicates the translation of the overall important features confined in the large scale complete order model into the lower order system.

Coherency Based Decomposition and Aggregation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between coherency, area decomposition and aggregation for a class of models of electromechanical networks, including power system models, and established that coheuracy conditions and a physically meaningful area-aggregate, reproducing a prescribed set of system modes, depend on external connections only.

Coordinated control for networked multi-agent systems
Richard M. Murray,Zhipu Jin +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a novel control strategy so that each agent responds to neighbors' behaviors as well as acts towards the global goal, and introduces multiple description source codes to manipulate the data before transmission.

Decomposition Principle for Linear Programs
George B. Dantzig,Philip Wolfe +1 more
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.
Contributions to the theory of optimal control
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of least square feedback control in a linear time-invariant system with n states, and proposed a solution based on the concept of controllability.

M. Chidambara,Edward J. Davison +1 more
TL;DR: A method is proposed for reducing large matrices by constructing a matrix of lower order which has the same dominant eigenvalues and eigenvectors as the original system.

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.
