Abstract: | In this paper, decentralised fixed modes (DFMs) of a networked system are studied. The network topology is directed and weighted and the nodes are higher-dimensional linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems. The effects of the network topology, the node-system dynamics, the external control inputs, and the inner interactions on the existence of DFMs for the whole networked system are investigated. A necessary and sufficient condition for networked multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) systems in a general topology to possess no DFMs is derived. For networked single-input/single-output (SISO) LTI systems in general as well as some typical topologies, some specific conditions for having no DFMs are established. It is shown that the existence of DFMs is an integrated result of the aforementioned relevant factors which cannot be decoupled into individual DFMs of the node-systems and the properties solely determined by the network topology. |
