This paper contains an explicit parametrization of a subclass of linear constant gain feedback maps that will not destabilize an originally open-loop stable system. These results can then be used to obtain several new structural stability results for multiinput linear-quadratic feedback optimal designs.

The closely-related problems of designing reliable feedback stabilization strategy and coordinating decentralized feedbacks are considered. Two approaches are taken. A geometric characterization of the structure of control interaction (and its dual) was first attempted and a concept of structural homomorphism developed based on the idea of 'similarity' of interaction pattern. The idea of finding classes of individual feedback maps that do not 'interfere' with the stabilizing action of each other was developed by identifying the structural properties of nondestabilizing and LQ-optimal feedback maps. Some known stability properties of LQ-feedback were generalized and some partial solutions were provided to the reliable stabilization and decentralized feedback coordination problems. A concept of coordination parametrization was introduced, and a scheme for classifying different modes of decentralization (information, control law computation, on-line control implementation) in control systems was developed.
An explicit parametrization of a subclass of linear constant gain feedback maps that never destabilize an originally open-loop stable system is presented. These results are used to obtain several new structural stability results for multiinput linear-quadratic feedback optimal designs.
