Adaptive Parameter Estimation of Hyperbolic Distributed Parameter Systems: Non-symmetric Damping and Slowly Time Varying Systems

H. T. Banks, M. A. Demetriou (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper a model reference-based adaptive parameter estimator for a wide class of hyperbolic distributed parameter systems is considered. The proposed state and parameter estimator can handle hyperbolic systems in which the damping sesquilinear form may not be symmetric (or even present) and a modification to the standard adaptive law is introduced to account for this lack of symmetry (or absence) in the damping form. In addition, the proposed scheme is modified for systems in which the input...

Adaptive stabilization of coupled PDE–ODE systems with multiple uncertainties

Jian Li, Yungang Liu (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The adaptive stabilization is investigated for a class of coupled PDE-ODE systems with multiple uncertainties. The presence of the multiple uncertainties and the interaction between the sub-systems makes the systems to be considered more general and representative, and moreover it may result in the ineffectiveness of the conventional methods on this topic. Motivated by the existing literature, an infinite-dimensional backsteppping transformation with new kernel functions is first introduced to change...

An elastic membrane with an attached non-linear thermoelastic rod

Werner Horn, Jan Sokołowski (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We study a thermo-mechanical system consisting of an elastic membrane to which a shape-memory rod is glued. The slow movements of the membrane are controlled by the motions of the attached rods. A quasi-static model is used. We include the elastic feedback of the membrane on the rods. This results in investigating an elliptic boundary value problem in a domain Ω ⊂ R^2 with a cut, coupled with non-linear equations for the vertical motions of the rod and the temperature on the rod. We prove the existence...

An hp-Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Optimal Control Problem of Laser Surface Hardening of Steel

Gupta Nupur, Nataraj Neela (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, we discuss an hp-discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (hp-DGFEM) for the laser surface hardening of steel, which is a constrained optimal control problem governed by a system of differential equations, consisting of an ordinary differential equation for austenite formation and a semi-linear parabolic differential equation for temperature evolution. The space discretization of the state variable is done using an hp-DGFEM, time and control discretizations are based on a discontinuous Galerkin...

An integrodifferential approach to modeling, control, state estimation and optimization for heat transfer systems

Andreas Rauh, Luise Senkel, Harald Aschemann, Vasily V. Saurin, Georgy V. Kostin (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper, control-oriented modeling approaches are presented for distributed parameter systems. These systems, which are in the focus of this contribution, are assumed to be described by suitable partial differential equations. They arise naturally during the modeling of dynamic heat transfer processes. The presented approaches aim at developing finitedimensional system descriptions for the design of various open-loop, closed-loop, and optimal control strategies as well as state, disturbance,...

An observability estimate for parabolic equations from a measurable set in time and its applications

Kim Dang Phung, Gengsheng Wang (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This paper presents a new observability estimate for parabolic equations in Ω × ( 0 , T ) , where Ω is a convex domain. The observation region is restricted over a product set of an open nonempty subset of Ω and a subset of positive measure in ( 0 , T ) . This estimate is derived with the aid of a quantitative unique continuation at one point in time. Applications to the bang-bang property for norm and time optimal control problems are provided.

An output controllability problem for semilinear distributed hyperbolic systems

E. Zerrik, R. Larhrissi, H. Bourray (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The paper aims at extending the notion of regional controllability developed for linear systems cite to the semilinear hyperbolic case. We begin with an asymptotically linear system and the approach is based on an extension of the Hilbert uniqueness method and Schauder's fixed point theorem. The analytical case is then tackled using generalized inverse techniques and converted to a fixed point problem leading to an algorithm which is successfully implemented numerically and illustrated with examples....

Analyse régionale des systèmes distribués

A. El Jai (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Le but de cet article est de montrer l’état de l’art dans l’analyse des systèmes distribués lorsque l’on examine certains concepts à partir de considérations régionales. Autrement dit, à partir de la donnée d’un système dynamique défini sur un domaine Ω , on ne s’intéresse à sa contrôlabilité, à son observabilité, à sa stabilité, ... que sur une région privilégiée ω , ω Ω . Partant de concepts classiques, on développe leur adaptation au cas régional. On développe ensuite des concepts régionaux propres...

Analysis of a time optimal control problem related to the management of a bioreactor

Lino J. Alvarez-Vázquez, Francisco J. Fernández, Aurea Martínez (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a time optimal control problem arisen from the optimal management of a bioreactor devoted to the treatment of eutrophicated water. We formulate this realistic problem as a state-control constrained time optimal control problem. After analyzing the state system (a complex system of coupled partial differential equations with non-smooth coefficients for advection-diffusion-reaction with Michaelis-Menten kinetics, modelling the eutrophication processes) we demonstrate the existence of,...

Approximate controllability and its well-posedness for the semilinear reaction-diffusion equation with internal lumped controls

Alexander Khapalov (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the one dimensional semilinear reaction-diffusion equation, governed in Ω = (0,1) by controls, supported on any subinterval of (0, 1), which are the functions of time only. Using an asymptotic approach that we have previously introduced in [9], we show that such a system is approximately controllable at any time in both L2(0,1)( and C0[0,1], provided the nonlinear term f = f(x,t, u) grows at infinity no faster than certain power of log |u|. The latter depends on the regularity...
