On observer based stabilization of networked systems

— Stabilizability of linear time invariant networked systems of general structure is studied with an observer-based approach. In the assumption of piecewise constant controls an average consensus network distributes input information to all agents enabling them to build local observers on the basis of which stabilizing gains are computed with recourse to standard centralized methodology. Stabilizability conditions are found for sampled-data and for discrete-time systems.
