On the Fattorini Criterion for Approximate Controllability and Stabilizability of Parabolic Systems
In this paper, we consider the well-known Fattorini's criterion for
approximate controllability of infinite dimensional linear systems of type
. We precise the result proved by H. O. Fattorini in
\cite{Fattorini1966} for bounded input , in the case where can be
unbounded or in the case of finite-dimensional controls. More precisely, we
prove that if Fattorini's criterion is satisfied and if the set of geometric
multiplicities of is bounded then approximate controllability can be
achieved with finite dimensional controls. An important consequence of this
result consists in using the Fattorini's criterion to obtain the feedback
stabilizability of linear and nonlinear parabolic systems with feedback
controls in a finite dimensional space. In particular, for systems described by
partial differential equations, such a criterion reduces to a unique
continuation theorem for a stationary system. We illustrate such a method by
tackling some coupled Navier-Stokes type equations (MHD system and micropolar
fluid system) and we sketch a systematic procedure relying on Fattorini's
criterion for checking stabilizability of such nonlinear systems. In that case,
the unique continuation theorems rely on local Carleman inequalities for
stationary Stokes type systems
On the continuous dependence with respect to sampling of the linear quadratic regulator problem for distributed parameter systems
The convergence of solutions to the discrete or sampled time linear quadratic regulator problem and associated Riccati equation for infinite dimensional systems to the solutions to the corresponding continuous time problem and equation, as the length of the sampling interval (the sampling rate) tends toward zero (infinity) is established. Both the finite and infinite time horizon problems are studied. In the finite time horizon case, strong continuity of the operators which define the control system and performance index together with a stability and consistency condition on the sampling scheme are required. For the infinite time horizon problem, in addition, the sampled systems must be stabilizable and detectable, uniformly with respect to the sampling rate. Classes of systems for which this condition can be verified are discussed. Results of numerical studies involving the control of a heat/diffusion equation, a hereditary of delay system, and a flexible beam are presented and discussed
Optimal feedback control infinite dimensional parabolic evolution systems: Approximation techniques
A general approximation framework is discussed for computation of optimal feedback controls in linear quadratic regular problems for nonautonomous parabolic distributed parameter systems. This is done in the context of a theoretical framework using general evolution systems in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. Conditions are discussed for preservation under approximation of stabilizability and detectability hypotheses on the infinite dimensional system. The special case of periodic systems is also treated
Asymptotic ensemble stabilizability of the Bloch equation
In this paper we are concerned with the stabilizability to an equilibrium
point of an ensemble of non interacting half-spins. We assume that the spins
are immersed in a static magnetic field, with dispersion in the Larmor
frequency, and are controlled by a time varying transverse field. Our goal is
to steer the whole ensemble to the uniform "down" position. Two cases are
addressed: for a finite ensemble of spins, we provide a control function (in
feedback form) that asymptotically stabilizes the ensemble in the "down"
position, generically with respect to the initial condition. For an ensemble
containing a countable number of spins, we construct a sequence of control
functions such that the sequence of the corresponding solutions pointwise
converges, asymptotically in time, to the target state, generically with
respect to the initial conditions. The control functions proposed are uniformly
bounded and continuous
The linear regulator problem for parabolic systems
An approximation framework is presented for computation (in finite imensional spaces) of Riccati operators that can be guaranteed to converge to the Riccati operator in feedback controls for abstract evolution systems in a Hilbert space. It is shown how these results may be used in the linear optimal regulator problem for a large class of parabolic systems
