The desired stability of the whole system is guaranteed while at the same time the tolerable bounds in the uncertainties due to structural changes are maximized. The design approach is based on the linear matrix inequalities (LMI) techniques adaptation for stabilizing controller design. Key words: Decentralized control, state feedback, parameter uncertainties, linear matrix inequalities Introduction Recently, a number of efforts have been made to extend the application of robust control techniques to decentralized systems using convex optimization involving LMI (Linear Matrix Inequalities). The paper presents some extensions and modifications of the problems concerning the system robust stability in the presence of interconnection among subsystems, as well as parameter uncertainties in the subsystem state transition matrices, and was motivated by the technique presented in (Befekadu Erlich, 2005), which is generalized here for uncertain large-scale systems. System description Generally, a large-scale interconected system composed of N subsystems can be modelled by differential equations of the form N ∑ q (t) = (A + ?A (t))q (t)+ B u (t)+ (A + ?A (t))q (t) , (1) i i i i i i ih ih h h=1,h≠i y (t) = C q (t) , (2) i i i with given subsystem matrix A , subsystem input matrix B and subsystem output matrix C of appropriate i i i dimension, where i = 1,2, ..., N, q (t) is the subsystem state vector, u (t) is the subsystem control input vector i i and y (t) is the subsystem measure
