This paper is concerned with the parametrization of all the decentralized stabilizing controllers. The auxiliary diagonal system, which is defined by the diagonal elements of Bezout factors, plays important roles in the parametrization of decentralized controllers. This paper gives an explicit characterization of the auxiliary system.
