Robust H∞ Performance Analysis of Uncertain Large-Scale Networked Systems

Abstract

This paper considers the robust H∞ performance problem of continuous-time uncertain large-scale networked systems (LSNSs). The systems consist of numerous arbitrarily connected subsystems, each of which has different dynamics. Currently it is computationally difficult to manage systems with the existing lumped analysis method; therefore, exploiting the structural properties of the systems, sufficient conditions are derived for robust H∞ performance. Based on these results, an analysis condition that depends only on the parameters of each single subsystem is further obtained. Some numerical simulations are proposed to verify the validity and superiority of the developed conditions.
