Control and State Estimation of the One-Phase Stefan Problem via Backstepping Design
This paper develops a control and estimation design for the one-phase Stefan
problem. The Stefan problem represents a liquid-solid phase transition as time
evolution of a temperature profile in a liquid-solid material and its moving
interface. This physical process is mathematically formulated as a diffusion
partial differential equation (PDE) evolving on a time-varying spatial domain
described by an ordinary differential equation (ODE). The state-dependency of
the moving interface makes the coupled PDE-ODE system a nonlinear and
challenging problem. We propose a full-state feedback control law, an observer
design, and the associated output-feedback control law via the backstepping
method. The designed observer allows estimation of the temperature profile
based on the available measurement of solid phase length. The associated
output-feedback controller ensures the global exponential stability of the
estimation errors, the H1- norm of the distributed temperature, and the moving
interface to the desired setpoint under some explicitly given restrictions on
the setpoint and observer gain. The exponential stability results are
established considering Neumann and Dirichlet boundary actuations.Comment: 16 pages, 11 figures, submitted to IEEE Transactions on Automatic

Event-triggered gain scheduling of reaction-diffusion PDEs
This paper deals with the problem of boundary stabilization of 1D
reaction-diffusion PDEs with a time- and space- varying reaction coefficient.
The boundary control design relies on the backstepping approach. The gains of
the boundary control are scheduled under two suitable event-triggered
mechanisms. More precisely, gains are computed/updated on events according to
two state-dependent event-triggering conditions: static-based and dynamic-based
conditions, under which, the Zeno behavior is avoided and well-posedness as
well as exponential stability of the closed-loop system are guaranteed.
Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the results.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures, submitted to SICO
