Descripción
Sumario:This work presents a method based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to design a feedback controller that guarantees stability regardless of the network topology considered. The proposed controller has a modular structure, that is, it is composed of blocks associated with communication links in a control network, obtaining the feedback of each topology by inserting zeros in the blocks related to disabled links. Conditions to obtain the desired modular structure are provided, as well as a numerical example to assess the feasibility of the design method.
