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.

Suboptimal Control of Large Scale Systems by Chained Aggregation

TL;DR: In this article, a new procedure to evaluate chained aggregation matrix has been developed using Pouth Canonical form, this method is simple compared to generalized Hessenberg representation and it gives better results when compared to the suboptimal regulators derived using Routh approximant reduced order models.

Framing controllers applying padé approximation technique

Abstract: This brief presents a method to commence a reduced order system for a given SISO (stable) linear continuous time system. This approach is about to retain the stability while converting the higher order system into its lower order approximant using Pade approximant and then a controller is put together in the reduced order system attaining stability and necessary parameters of the system. A numerical example is also presented to illustrate the behavior of the original system with its reduced order approximation and then attaching a controller and check the stability of the reduced order system with controller.
