Abstract: When using H techniques to design decentralized controllers for large systems, the whole system is divided into subsystems, which are analysed using H control theory before being recombined. An analogy was established with substructural analysis in structural mechanics, in which H decentralized control theory corresponds to substructural modal synthesis theory so that the optimal H norm of the whole system corresponds to the fundamental vibration frequency of the whole structure. Hence, modal synthesis methodology and the extended Wittrick-Williams algorithm were transplanted from structural mechanics to compute the optimal H norm of the control system. The orthogonality and the expansion theorem of eigenfunctions of the subsystems H control are presented in part (Ⅰ) of the paper. The modal synthesis method for computation of the optimal H norm of decentralized control systems and numerical examples are presented in part (Ⅱ).
