Feedback stabilization of a boundary layer equation
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...

Feedback stabilization of the 2-D and 3-D Navier-Stokes equations based on an extended system
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
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...
Finite-time boundedness and stabilization of switched linear systems
In this paper, finite-time boundedness and stabilization problems for a class of switched linear systems with time-varying exogenous disturbances are studied. Firstly, the concepts of finite-time stability and finite-time boundedness are extended to switched linear systems. Then, based on matrix inequalities, some sufficient conditions under which the switched linear systems are finite-time bounded and uniformly finite-time bounded are given. Moreover, to solve the finite-time stabilization problem,...
Finite-time consensus problem for multiple non-holonomic mobile agents
In this paper, the problem of finite time consensus is discussed for multiple non-holonomic mobile agents. The objective is to design a distributed finite time control law such that the controlled multiple non-holonomic mobile agents can reach consensus within any given finite settling time. We propose a novel switching control strategy with the help of time-rescalling technique and graph theory. The numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.
Finite-time cooperative tracking control for a class of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems
The problem of finite-time cooperative tracking control for a class of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems is studied in this paper. The agent dynamic is described by a second-order nonlinear system with uncertain time-varying control coefficients and unknown nonlinear perturbations. Based on the finite-time control technique and graph theory, a class of distributed finite-time control laws are proposed which are only based on the neighbors' information. Under the proposed controller, it...
Finite-time output feedback stabilization and control for a quadrotor mini-aircraft
This paper focuses on the finite-time output feedback control problem for a quad-rotor mini-aircraft system. First, a finite-time state feedback controller is designed by utilizing the finite-time control theory. Then, considering the case that the velocity states are not measurable, a finite-time stable observer is developed to estimate the unmeasurable states. Thus a finite-time output feedback controller is obtained and the stability analysis is provided to ensure the finite-time stability of...
Finite-time tracking control of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots with external disturbances
This paper investigates finite-time tracking control problem of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots in dynamic model with external disturbances, where a kind of finite-time disturbance observer (FTDO) is introduced to estimate the external disturbances for each mobile robot. First of all, the resulting tracking error dynamic is transformed into two subsystems, i. e., a third-order subsystem and a second-order subsystem for each mobile robot. Then, the two subsystem are discussed respectively, continuous...
Fixed-time tracking control for nonholonomic mobile robot
This paper investigates the fixed-time trajectory tracking control problem for a nonholonomic mobile robot. Firstly, the tracking error system is derived for the mobile robot by the aid of a global invertible transformation. Then, based on the unified error dynamics and by using the fixed-time control method, continuous fixed-time tracking controllers are developed for the mobile robot such that the robot can track the desired trajectory in a fixed time. Moreover, the settling time is independent...

A fractional differential controller for incommensurate fractional unified chaotic system is described and proved by using the Gershgorin circle theorem in this paper. Also, based on the idea of a nonlinear observer, a new method for generalized synchronization (GS) of this system is proposed. Furthermore, the GS technique is applied in secure communication (SC), and a chaotic masking system is designed. Finally, the proposed fractional differential controller, GS and chaotic masking scheme are...
Genetic algorithm based method of elimination of residual oscillation in mechatronic systems
The paper presents control signals generation methods, preventing the excitation of residual vibration in slightly damped oscillational systems. It is focused on the feedforward methods, as most of the vibrations in examined processes are induced by the control, while the influence of disturbances is mostly negligible. Application of these methods involves ensuring of the insensitivity to natural frequency change, which can be reached in classical approach only by considerable increase of transient...
