Abstract

We study nonlinear networked control systems (NCS), where the controller is implemented over multiple processors via an emulation-based approach. We start with a stable and centralised NCS commonly considered in the literature. Then, we show how to implement the centralised controller over multiple processors inspired by parallel computing techniques, so that stability is preserved (semi-globally and practically) under sufficiently fast computations. An example is given to illustrate the main results.
