Abstract

In this paper, time delay interconnected systems are considered where the nominal isolated subsystems are fully nonlinear. The interconnections and the matched and mismatched disturbances are nonlinear and time-delayed. A decentralised static output feedback control strategy is proposed to stabilise the resulting interconnected system uniformly asymptotically. A novel approach is proposed to deal with the interconnections by introducing artificial interconnections, such that accessible information is fully exploited in the control design to reduce conservatism. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
