Nonlinear observers in reflexive Banach spaces

Jean-François Couchouron, P. Ligarius (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

On an arbitrary reflexive Banach space, we build asymptotic observers for an abstract class of nonlinear control systems with possible compact outputs. An important part of this paper is devoted to various examples, where we discuss the existence of persistent inputs which make the system observable. These results make a wide generalization to a nonlinear framework of previous works on the observation problem in infinite dimension (see [11, 18, 22, 26, 27, 38, 40] and other references therein).

Null-controllability of some systems of parabolic type by one control force

Farid Ammar Khodja, Assia Benabdallah, Cédric Dupaix, Ilya Kostin (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the null controllability by one control force of some linear systems of parabolic type. We give sufficient conditions for the null controllability property to be true and, in an abstract setting, we prove that it is not always possible to control.

On a class of linear delay systems often arising in practice

Michel Fliess, Hugues Mounier (2001)

Kybernetika

We study the tracking control of linear delay systems. It is based on an algebraic property named π -freeness, which extends Kalman’s finite dimensional linear controllability and bears some similarity with finite dimensional nonlinear flat systems. Several examples illustrate the practical relevance of the notion.

On approximation of stability radius for an infinite-dimensional feedback control system

Hideki Sano (2016)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we discuss the problem of approximating stability radius appearing in the design procedure of finite-dimensional stabilizing controllers for an infinite-dimensional dynamical system. The calculation of stability radius needs the value of H -norm of a transfer function whose realization is described by infinite-dimensional operators in a Hilbert space. From the computational point of view, we need to prepare a family of approximate finite-dimensional operators and then to calculate...

On the circle criterion for boundary control systems in factor form : Lyapunov stability and Lur’e equations

Piotr Grabowski, Frank M. Callier (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

A Lur’e feedback control system consisting of a linear, infinite-dimensional system of boundary control in factor form and a nonlinear static sector type controller is considered. A criterion of absolute strong asymptotic stability of the null equilibrium is obtained using a quadratic form Lyapunov functional. The construction of such a functional is reduced to solving a Lur’e system of equations. A sufficient strict circle criterion of solvability of the latter is found, which is based on results...

On the dynamic behavior and stability of controlled connected Rayleigh beams under pointwise output feedback

Bao-Zhu Guo, Jun-Min Wang, Cui-Lian Zhou (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the dynamic behavior and stability of two connected Rayleigh beams that are subject to, in addition to two sensors and two actuators applied at the joint point, one of the actuators also specially distributed along the beams. We show that with the distributed control employed, there is a set of generalized eigenfunctions of the closed-loop system, which forms a Riesz basis with parenthesis for the state space. Then both the spectrum-determined growth condition and exponential stability...

On the null-controllability of diffusion equations

Gérald Tenenbaum, Marius Tucsnak (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This work studies the null-controllability of a class of abstract parabolic equations. The main contribution in the general case consists in giving a short proof of an abstract version of a sufficient condition for null-controllability which has been proposed by Lebeau and Robbiano. We do not assume that the control operator is admissible. Moreover, we give estimates of the control cost. In the special case of the heat equation in rectangular domains, we provide an alternative way to check...

On the well-posedness and regularity of the wave equation with variable coefficients

Bao-Zhu Guo, Zhi-Xiong Zhang (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

An open-loop system of a multidimensional wave equation with variable coefficients, partial boundary Dirichlet control and collocated observation is considered. It is shown that the system is well-posed in the sense of D. Salamon and regular in the sense of G. Weiss. The Riemannian geometry method is used in the proof of regularity and the feedthrough operator is explicitly computed.
