A Generalized LMI Formulation for Input-Output Analysis of Linear Systems of ODEs Coupled with PDEs

In this paper, we consider input-output properties of linear systems consisting of PDEs on a finite domain coupled with ODEs through the boundary conditions of the PDE. This framework can be used to represent e.g. a lumped mass fixed to a beam or a system with delay. This work generalizes the sufficiency proof of the KYP Lemma for ODEs to coupled ODE-PDE systems using a recently developed concept of fundamental state and the associated boundary-condition-free representation. The conditions of the generalized KYP are tested using the PQRS positive matrix parameterization of operators resulting in a finite-dimensional LMI, feasibility of which implies prima facie provable passivity or L2-gain of the system. No discretization or approximation is involved at any step and we use numerical examples to demonstrate that the bounds obtained are not conservative in any significant sense and that computational complexity is lower than existing methods involving finite-dimensional projection of PDEs

Reducing the PDEs to ODEs through lie vectors using the integrated factors

We reduce the PDEs to ODEs through Lie vectors as previously done through two reduction stages. Some of these ODEs have no solution. Some researchers in this step, use the SMM, power series method or Riccati equation method to solve non-solvable equations. We use the integrating factors as a tool to reduce the order and the nonlinearity in an ODE. This explores new solutions as it appears for the (2+1)-dimensional (CBS) and (3+1)-dimensional generalized BKP solutions compared results
