The paper reviews the past and present results in the area of decentralized control of large-
scale complex systems. An emphasis is laid on decentralization, decomposition, and …

It is internationally recognized that structural control was introduced in civil engineering
through a pioneering article by Yao and through the implementations promoted by Kobori …

Large-scale complex systems (LSS) have traditionally been characterized by large numbers
of variables, structure of interconnected subsystems, and other features that complicate the …

In this work, the main ideas involved in the design of overlapping and multi-overlapping
controllers via the Inclusion Principle are discussed and illustrated in the context of the …

A benchmark model of a cable‐stayed bridge has attracted in the last years the attention of
the control community. In this paper robust feasible solutions are investigated. As a first step …

The study investigates the problem of decentralized semi-active control of free vibration. The
control scheme is designed for implementation in a modular controller architecture, where a …

Consistency of real‐time data transmission is an important factor in active and semi‐active
control of structures. Recent advances in wireless sensors and their reliable data …

This paper deals with the stability of linear time-varying systems involving switches through
time between different parameterizations of a dynamic linear time-varying system. Graph …

The bottom and other vulnerable floors of civil structures usually have large, non‐linear‐
induced deformation due to seismic excitations, possibly bring about the total collapse of the …

In this article, a computationally effective strategy to obtain multioverlapping controllers via
the inclusion principle is applied to design a state-feedback multioverlapping linear …
