Abstract

Control and filtering of decentralized systems can benefit from a decomposition of the available observations into components. The concepts of common, private, correlated, and sufficient information have been proposed and are defined in this chapter. A decentralized control system in which the outputs and the states have been decomposed with respect to these concepts will facilitate the synthesis of communication laws and control laws for decentralized control.
