Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of decentralized feedback control design for a class of linear interconnected discrete-time systems subject to quantization and overflow nonlinearities and unknown-but-bounded couplings. A decentralized quantized state feedback controller is designed at the subsystem level to render the closed-loop system asymptotically stable. When the local output measurements are available, a decentralized output-feedback quantized controller is developed attain similar asymptotic stability and guaranteed performance of the closed-loop quantized system. Several special cases of interest are derived and simulation results are provided.
