Distributed optimal control is known to be challenging and can become intractable even for linear-quadratic regulator problems. In this work, we study a special class of such problems where distributed state feedback controllers can give near-optimal performance. More specifically, we consider networked linear-quadratic controllers with decoupled costs and spatially exponentially decaying dynamics

Given the increase in electricity prices in recent years due to two reasons; the rebound effect after the initial corona outbreak and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the burden of paying the rising monthly expense for electricity has become an unwelcome reality for a significant part of society. The electricity trades on the open market called Nord Pool for the Nordic countries, among others, whe

Många läroböcker i Moderna språk innehåller stora delar historia, vilket tycks svara mot en idé om att eleverna ska lära sig om t.ex. Frankrikes historia när de studerar franska, trots att ingenting sägs om detta i Skolverkets läroplan. Denna uppsats undersöker utifrån ett bildningsperspektiv klyftan mellan styrdokument och den verklighet som läroböckerna utgör. Syftet är att, genom en jämförande

This thesis has attempted to show the process of transformation from the developmental state in South Korea and Taiwan since the 1990s on the perspective of the four main elements of the developmental state in strong capacity of state, coherent bureaucracy, government-business coalition and industrial policy.
