Title
Decoupling through input-output blending
Abstract
The paper presents a novel decoupling method, based on blending the input and output signals of linear dynamical systems. For this purpose, blend vectors are introduced and calculated such that the minimum sensitivity of the controlled mode is maximised, while the worst case gain of the other subsystems is minimised from the blended input to the blended output. The problem is transformed to a standard optimisation program subject to Linear Matrix Inequality constraints. An arising rank constraint is resolved by an alternating projection scheme. The method is presented based on the decoupling of a single mode, but the extension to decouple multiple modes is also discussed. Numerical examples are given to validate the method and to illustrate how the proposed approach can be applied for control engineering problems.
