Abstract
The paper deals with the design of decentralized control of interconnected dynamic systems. It is assumed that each subsystem has its own control input and that the interconnections are through the states of the other subsystems. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the possibility of using the so-called block Gerschgorin theorem to evaluate the stability of the total system, given the local controllers. This theorem enables us to determine inclusion regions for the eigenvalues of the total system and these regions are usually sharper than those obtained by the usual Gerschgorin circle theorem
