The problem of controlling an interconnected large-scale system by means of structurally constrained controllers is considered in this proposal. In many physical systems such as sensor networks, power systems, coordinated motion of automated vehicles and traffic networks, the interacting subsystems are geographically dispersed. Usually, traditional centralized control for this type of system is not as efficient, due to the distributed nature of the network and also the complexity of the required on-line computations. Furthermore, continuous transmission of data from the subsystems to the controller and vice versa is typically expensive. Another obvious disadvantage of such structure is that the resultant closed-loop system has a single point of failure. In a distributed control structure, on the other hand, one can generate the control input of each subsystem by only concentrating on those outputs which have a relatively high impact on the corresponding subsystem (through interconnections). This reduces the complexity of the computations, and at the same time improves the efficiency of the control topology.

在本提案中考虑了通过结构约束控制器控制互连大规模系统的问题。在许多物理系统中，例如传感器网络，电源系统，自动化车辆和交通网络的协调运动，相互作用的子系统在地理上分散。通常，由于网络的分布性质以及所需的在线计算的复杂性，对这类系统的传统集中控制效率不高。此外，将数据从子系统连续传输到控制器，反之亦然，通常很昂贵。这种结构的另一个明显缺点是，所得的闭环系统具有单点故障。另一方面，在分布式控制结构中，只能专注于那些对相应子系统（通过互连）具有相对较高影响的输出来生成每个子系统的控制输入。这降低了计算的复杂性，同时提高了控制拓扑的效率。
