Optimal $\mathcal{H}_{2}$ Decentralized Control of Cone Causal Spatially Invariant Systems

This paper presents an explicit solution to decentralized control of a class of spatially invariant systems. The problem of optimal H
₂
decentralized control for cone causal systems is formulated. Using Parseval's identity, the optimal H
₂
decentralized control problem is transformed into an infinite number of model matching problems with a specific structure that can be solved efficiently. In addition, the closed-form expression (explicit formula) of the decentralized controller is derived for the first time. In particular, it is shown that the optimal decentralized controller is given by a specific positive feedback scheme. A constructive procedure to obtain the state-space representation of the decentralized controller is provided. A numerical example is given and compared with previous works which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
