Output feedback stabilization of a one-dimensional wave equation with an arbitrary time delay in boundary observation

Abstract

Abstract.The stabilization with time delay in observation or control represents difficult mathematical challenges in the control of distributed parameter systems. It is well-known that the stability of closed-loop system achieved by some stabilizing output feedback laws may be destroyed by whatever small time delay there exists in observation. In this paper, we are concerned with a particularly interesting case: Boundary output feedback stabilization of a one-dimensional wave equation system for which the boundary observation suffers from an arbitrary long time delay. We use the observer and predictor to solve the problem: The state is estimated in the time span where the observation is available; and the state is predicted in the time interval where the observation is not available. It is shown that the estimator/predictor based state feedback law stabilizes the delay system asymptotically or exponentially, respectively, relying on the initial data being non-smooth or smooth. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effect of the stabilizing controller.Mathematics Subject Classification. 35B37, 93B52, 93C05, 93C20, 93D15.

Exponential Stability of the Monotubular Heat Exchanger Equation with Time Delay in Boundary Observation

“…However, this does not mean that there is no stabilizing controller in the presence of time delay. You can refer to [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] for some successful examples.…”

Control of the Nonlinear Wave-Type Dynamics Using the Derivative-Free Nonlinear Kalman Filter

“…Filtering for nonlinear distributed parameter systems is again a non-trivial problem [26][27][28][29]. Both observer-based and Kalman Filterbased approaches have been proposed [30][31][32][33][34]. To this end, in this paper, a new nonlinear filtering method, under the name Derivative-free nonlinear Kalman Filtering, is proposed.…”

An Adaptive Observer-Based Algorithm for Solving Inverse Source Problem for the Wave Equation

“…An adaptive observer was applied in [11] for parameter estimation and stabilization of one-dimensional wave equation where the boundary observation suffers from an unknown constant disturbance. A similar work was proposed in [12] with the state as unknown and the boundary observation suffers from an arbitrary long time delay.…”

“…Indeed, given the PDE system together with the measurements, we can test in a prior step whether the unknown variables can be estimated fully or partially, regardless of the kind of observer to be used. For instance, in [8,9,11,12], the measurements were taken as the time derivative of the solution of the wave equation. This kind of measurements gives a typical observability condition which has a positive effect on the stabilization, but it is less readily available than field measurements.…”
