Abstract: In this paper, some decentralized control problems composed of two subsystems are addressed from a special perspective. First, it is pointed out that some subsystems must be unstable to stabilize the overall interconnected system in some special cases. Then, a special kind of decentralized control problem is studied. This kind of problem can be viewed as harmonic control among independent subsystems. Research results show that two unstable systems can generate a stable system through some effective cooperations. And a linear matrix inequality method is provided for decentralized controller design by using the parameter-dependent Lyapunov function method. Two examples are given to illustrate the results.
