(eng): A control design for a large-scale system using LMI optimization is proposed. The control is designed in a way such that the LQ cost in the case of the decentralized control does not exceed a certain limit. The optimized quantity are the values of the control gain matrices. The methodology is useful even for finding a decomposition of the system, however, some expert knowledge is necessary in this case. The capabilities of the algorithm are illustrated by two examples.
