Decentralized output regulation of a class of nonlinear systems
In this paper we investigate the decentralized output regulation problem of a class of nonlinear systems. It is shown that the results of decentralized output regulation of linear systems can be easily adapted to nonlinear systems within the Isidori-Byrnes framework. The resulting decentralized controller consists of local controllers, each of which is a parallel connection of a stabilizer and a ( partial) internal model. We present only local results.
