An Explicit Parametrization of Closed Loops for Spatially Distributed Controllers with Sparsity Constraints
2021
We study the linear time-invariant state-feedback controller design problem for distributed systems. We follow the recently developed System Level Synthesis (SLS) approach and impose locality structure on the resulting closed-loop mappings; the corresponding controller implementation inherits this prescribed structure. In contrast to existing SLS results, we derive an explicit (rather than implicit) parameterization of all achievable stabilized closed-loops. This admits more efficient IIR representations of the temporal part of the closed-loop dynamics, and it allows for the H2 design problem with closed-loop spatial sparsity constraints to be converted to a standard model matching problem, with the number of transfer function parameters scaling linearly with the closed-loop spatial extent constraint. We illustrate our results with two applications: consensus of first-order subsystems and the vehicular platoons problem. In the case of first-order consensus, we provide analytic solutions and further analyze the architecture of the resulting controller implementation. Results for infinite extent spatially-invariant systems are presented to provide insight to the case of a large but f
