This paper investigates prediction-based stabilization for a class of linear systems subject to input-dependent input delay. The delay under consideration is implicitly defined by an integral relation depending on past values of the input. This situation is frequent in the process industry. We propose here to use a prediction on an horizon equal to the equilibrium value of the delay. By relying on a novel transport Partial Differential Equation (PDE) representation of the delay, encapsulating the input-dependency, we prove local exponential stabilization of the closed-loop system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
