On a Canonical Distributed Controller in the Behavioral Framework

Control in a classical transfer function or state-space setting typically views a controller as a signal processor: sensor outputs are mapped to actuator inputs. In behavioral system theory, control is simply viewed as interconnection; the interconnection of a plant with a controller. In this paper we consider the problem of control of interconnected systems in a behavioral setting. The behavioral setting is especially fit for modelling interconnected systems, because it allows for the interconn...
