In this work, a contribution to the contractibility of decentralized control laws, in the context of the Inclusion Principle, is offered. By means of this principle, an overlapping system can be expanded to another bigger ...

In this paper, a control strategy to reduce the vibrational response of adjacent buildings under seismic excitation is presented. The proposed strategy combines passive linking elements with an active decentralized ...

In vibration control of adjacent buildings under seismic excitations, a twofold objective has to be considered: (i) to mitigate the vibrational response of the individual structures and (ii) to provide a suitable protection ...

In this paper, we present an effective computational strategy to design high-performance decentralized controllers with partial local-state information for vibration control of large building structures. Specifically, the ...

Distributed control systems for vibration control of large structures involve a large number of actuation devices and sensors that work coordinately to produce the desired control actions. Design strategies based on linear ...

This work presents an overview of some recent developments made by the authors in the field of vibrational control of largescale structural systems subject to seismic excitations. The structural systems under consideration ...

The paper deals with a class of continuous-time statedelayed uncertain systems considering H-infinity control. The main objective is to design static output feedback controllers satisfying three requirements simultaneously: ...

The paper deals with a class of linear continuoustime state-delay systems with norm-bounded uncertainties which are composed by overlapped subsystems. The main goal is to design overlapping guaranteed cost controllers for ...

Sovint ens trobem davant de desigualtats matricials lineals (LMIs) on les matrius involucrades prenen valors complexos. Es ben conegut que tota LMI complexa es pot reduir a una LMI real. En aquest treball establim les ...
