Exponential Stability and Transfer Functions of Processes Governed by Symmetric Hyperbolic Systems

Cheng-Zhong Xu, Gauthier Sallet (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we study the frequency and time domain behaviour of a heat exchanger network system. The system is governed by hyperbolic partial differential equations. Both the control operator and the observation operator are unbounded but admissible. Using the theory of symmetric hyperbolic systems, we prove exponential stability of the underlying semigroup for the heat exchanger network. Applying the recent theory of well-posed infinite-dimensional linear systems, we prove that the system...

Exponential stability of distributed parameter systems governed by symmetric hyperbolic partial differential equations using Lyapunov’s second method

Abdoua Tchousso, Thibaut Besson, Cheng-Zhong Xu (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we study asymptotic behaviour of distributed parameter systems governed by partial differential equations (abbreviated to PDE). We first review some recently developed results on the stability analysis of PDE systems by Lyapunov’s second method. On constructing Lyapunov functionals we prove next an asymptotic exponential stability result for a class of symmetric hyperbolic PDE systems. Then we apply the result to establish exponential stability of various chemical engineering processes...

Exponential stability of Timoshenko beam system with delay terms in boundary feedbacks*

Zhong-Jie Han, Gen-Qi Xu (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations


In this paper, the stability of a Timoshenko beam with time delays in the boundary input is studied. The system is fixed at the left end, and at the other end there are feedback controllers, in which time delays exist. We prove that this closed loop system is well-posed. By the complete spectral analysis, we show that there is a sequence of eigenvectors and generalized eigenvectors of the system operator that forms a Riesz basis for the state Hilbert space. Hence the system satisfies the spectrum...

Feedback stabilization of a boundary layer equation

Jean-Marie Buchot, Jean-Pierre Raymond (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We are interested in the feedback stabilization of a fluid flow over a flat plate, around a stationary solution, in the presence of perturbations. More precisely, we want to stabilize the laminar-to-turbulent transition location of a fluid flow over a flat plate. For that we study the Algebraic Riccati Equation (A.R.E.) of a control problem in which the state equation is a doubly degenerate linear parabolic equation. Because of the degenerate character of the state equation, the classical existence...

One proves that the steady-state solutions to Navier–Stokes equations with internal controllers are locally exponentially stabilizable by linear feedback controllers provided by a L Q control problem associated with the linearized equation.

Feedback stabilization of the 2-D and 3-D Navier-Stokes equations based on an extended system

Mehdi Badra (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the local exponential stabilization of the 2D and 3D Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain, around a given steady-state flow, by means of a boundary control. We look for a control so that the solution to the Navier-Stokes equations be a strong solution. In the 3D case, such solutions may exist if the Dirichlet control satisfies a compatibility condition with the initial condition. In order to determine a feedback law satisfying such a compatibility condition, we consider an extended...

Finite-dimensional control of nonlinear parabolic PDE systems with time-dependent spatial domains using empirical eigenfunctions

Antonios Armaou, Panagiotis Christofides (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This article presents a methodology for the synthesis of finite-dimensional nonlinear output feedback controllers for nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) systems with time-dependent spatial domains. Initially, the nonlinear parabolic PDE system is expressed with respect to an appropriate time-invariant spatial coordinate, and a representative (with respect to different initial conditions and input perturbations) ensemble of solutions of the resulting time-varying PDE system is...

Further results on sliding manifold design and observation for a heat equation

Enrique Barbieri, Sergey Drakunov, J. Fernando Figueroa (2000)

Kybernetika

This article presents new extensions regarding a nonlinear control design framework that is suitable for a class of distributed parameter systems with uncertainties (DPS). The control objective is first formulated as a function of the distributed system state. Then, a control is sought such that the set in the state space where this relation is true forms an integral manifold reachable in finite time. The manifold is called a Sliding Manifold. The Sliding Mode controller implements a theoretically...

Geometrical aspects of exact boundary controllability for the wave equation - a numerical study

M. Asch, G. Lebeau (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This essentially numerical study, sets out to investigate various geometrical properties of exact boundary controllability of the wave equation when the control is applied on a part of the boundary. Relationships between the geometry of the domain, the geometry of the controlled boundary, the time needed to control and the energy of the control are dealt with. A new norm of the control and an energetic cost factor are introduced. These quantities enable a detailed appraisal of the numerical solutions...
