Query: Robust Distributed Control Beyond Quadratic Invariance   The problem of robust distributed control arises in several large-scale
systems, such as transportation networks and power grid systems. In many
practical scenarios controllers might not have enough information to make
globally optimal decisions in a tractable way. We propose a novel class of
tractable optimization problems whose solution is a controller complying with
any specified information structure. The approach we suggest is based on
decomposing intractable information constraints into two subspace constraints
in the disturbance feedback domain. We discuss how to perform the decomposition
in an optimized way. The resulting control policy is globally optimal when a
condition known as Quadratic Invariance (QI) holds, whereas it is feasible and
it provides a provable upper bound on the minimum cost when QI does not hold.
Finally, we show that our method can lead to improved performance guarantees
with respect to previous approaches, by applying the developed techniques to
the platooning of autonomous vehicles.
