Long description: We consider the problem of decentralized controller and network design under communication constraints. Traditionally, this problem is solved in a two-step approach by first deciding on a topology and then designing the dynamical couplings. In this thesis, we present a new approach by solving the problem of topology design and dynamics within one joint optimization problem. Structure design is then done subject to classical performance constraints on the closed loop system. We develop computationally efficient formulations by means of convex relaxations. This makes the proposed design methods attractive for practical applications and allows a tradeoff between sparsity of the subsystem interactions and achievable performance. We further introduce the concept of an l0-system gain for discrete linear time invariant systems, inspired by classical system gains from robust control. With this newly introduced system gain, we give a system theoretic explanation of the sparse closed loop response of l1-optimally controlled systems. |

The ACADEMY OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS (UK and Ireland Chapter) Published in association with the UK and Ireland Chapter of the Academy of International Business. In line with the 45th AIB-UKI conference, this edited collection brings together fresh perspectives on international business strategy, with a focus on the challenges faced by multinational enterprises (MNEs) in today’s changing commercial and political landscape. With a diverse range of contributors from varying international backgrounds, this book discusses the different strategies employed by MNEs, and analyses how they cope with the current global business environment. An extremely useful read for those studying globalisation and MNEs, this book provides an interdisciplinary and timely approach to international business strategy. |
