Abstract

Requiring a controlled system to be decoupled may increase some performance costs, however, decoupling may be desirable from an applied perspective. This paper gives an explicit quantification of decoupling costs in terms of the average quadratic tracking error. The analysis exploits the parametrisation of all decoupling controllers, together with Wiener-Hopf frequency domain techniques.
