Decentralized nonlinear output-feedback stabilization with disturbance attenuation
As a continuation of our recent work [2], this note addresses the problem of decentralized robust output-feedback stabilization with disturbance attenuation for large-scale systems with strong nonlinear interconnections. We target a first constructive solution to this decentralized control problem without requiring common matching and growth conditions appearing in the past literature. The proposed decentralized output-feedback laws achieve internal global asymptotic stability in the sense of Lyapunov and external stability in the sense of Sontag [21], [22].
