    Input-to-State Stabilization in H1H^1-Norm for Boundary Controlled Linear Hyperbolic PDEs with Application to Quantized Control

    No full text
    International audienceWe consider a system of linear hyperbolic PDEs where the state at one of the boundary points is controlled using the measurements of another boundary point. For this system class, the problem of designing dynamic controllers for input-to-state stabilization in H1H^1-norm with respect to measurement errors is considered. The analysis is based on constructing a Lyapunov function for the closed-loop system which leads to controller synthesis and the conditions on system dynamics required for stability. As an application of this stability notion, the problem of quantized control for hyperbolic PDEs is considered where the measurements sent to the controller are communicated using a quantizer of finite length. The presence of quantizer yields practical stability only, and the ultimate bounds on the norm of the state trajectory are also derived

    Input-to-State Stability with Respect to Boundary Disturbances for a Class of Semi-linear Parabolic Equations

    This paper studies the input-to-state stability (ISS) properties based on the method of Lyapunov functionals for a class of semi-linear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with respect to boundary disturbances. In order to avoid the appearance of time derivatives of the disturbances in ISS estimates, some technical inequalities are first developed, which allow directly dealing with the boundary conditions and establishing the ISS based on the method of Lyapunov functionals. The well-posedness analysis of the considered problem is carried out and the conditions for ISS are derived. Two examples are used to illustrate the application of the developed result.Comment: Manuscript submitted to Automatic

    This note addresses input-to-state stability (ISS) properties with respect to (w.r.t.) boundary and in-domain disturbances for Burgers' equation. The developed approach is a combination of the method of De~Giorgi iteration and the technique of Lyapunov functionals by adequately splitting the original problem into two subsystems. The ISS properties in L2L^2-norm for Burgers' equation have been established using this method. Moreover, as an application of De~Giorgi iteration, ISS in L∞L^\infty-norm w.r.t. in-domain disturbances and actuation errors in boundary feedback control for a 1-DD {linear} {unstable reaction-diffusion equation} have also been established. It is the first time that the method of De~Giorgi iteration is introduced in the ISS theory for infinite dimensional systems, and the developed method can be generalized for tackling some problems on multidimensional spatial domains and to a wider class of nonlinear {partial differential equations (PDEs)Comment: This paper has been accepted for publication by IEEE Trans. on Automatic Control, and is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TAC.2018.2880160. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1710.0991

    Mini-Workshop: Entropy, Information and Control

    This mini-workshop was motivated by the emerging field of networked control, which combines concepts from the disciplines of control theory, information theory and dynamical systems. Many current approaches to networked control simplify one or more of these three aspects, for instance by assuming no dynamical disturbances, or noiseless communication channels, or linear dynamics. The aim of this meeting was to approach a common understanding of the relevant results and techniques from each discipline in order to study the major, multi-disciplinary problems in networked control

    A weak maximum principle-based approach for input-to-state stability analysis of nonlinear parabolic PDEs with boundary disturbances

    Full text link
    In this paper, we introduce a weak maximum principle-based approach to input-to-state stability (ISS) analysis for certain nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) with boundary disturbances. Based on the weak maximum principle, a classical result on the maximum estimate of solutions to linear parabolic PDEs has been extended, which enables the ISS analysis for certain {}{nonlinear} parabolic PDEs with boundary disturbances. To illustrate the application of this method, we establish ISS estimates for a linear reaction-diffusion PDE and a generalized Ginzburg-Landau equation with {}{mixed} boundary disturbances. Compared to some existing methods, the scheme proposed in this paper involves less intensive computations and can be applied to the ISS analysis for a {wide} class of nonlinear PDEs with boundary disturbances.Comment: 14 page
