A multiple-derivative and multiple-delay paradigm for decentralized controller design: uniform-rank systems

This article contributes to our major study of decentralized controller design using a multiple-derivative and multiple-delay paradigm for control. In this installment, we pursue design of multiple-derivative controllers for minimum-phase uniform-rank plants, by drawing on the Special Coordinate Basis (SCB) for linear systems. We demonstrate that the design yields practical controllers for stabilization and pole placement, and permits control in the face of measurement delays. As a special case, we achieve design for sensing-agent networks, including those that are subject to actuator saturation and delay.
