abstract = {This paper focuses on the problem of observer-based distributed guaranteed cost control for large scale nonlinear interconnected systems with a chosen quadratic cost function. The aim is to ensures closed-loop stability and guaranteed cost for all planned parameter changes. For that, differential mean value theorem is used to introduce a general condition on the nonlinear time-varying interconnections functions. The obtained design procedures are formulated in the form of Linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) by using the Lyapunovs direct method stability analysis. Effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified through simulation results on a power system with three interconnected machines. © 2017 IEEE.},

abstract = {This study concerns the decentralized observer-based control for discrete time nonlinear interconnected system. The nonlinear interconnection between subsystem is uncertain and the only information about these uncertainties is that satisfy quadratic constraints. Sufficient conditions ensuring the synthesis of observer based feedback controller are established. The quadratic constraint is reformulated using the differential mean value theorem and the Lyapunov's direct method stability analysis. The design approach arises from the solution of linear matrix inequalitie (LMI).
