  • Abstract
    Q. In my graduate-level controls course, the instructor mentioned the “Witsenhausen counterexample,” which seems to have something to do with decentralized control and communication. But I must confess that I did not understand what was going on or why it was important. Could someone at IEEE Control Systems Magazine provide a clear and simple explanation? Thanks.
