Abstract
In this paper preliminary results in the use of linear matrix inequalities for the decentralized control of distributed parameter systems is presented. The class of systems being considered are those that can be expressed as multidimensional systems. It is shown that linear matrix inequalities can be used to provide tractable solutions to this problem; the conditions are in general conservative, but are computationally attractive and lead to controllers which have a decentralized structure.
