Delay-Adaptive Control of First-order Hyperbolic PIDEs
We develop a delay-adaptive controller for a class of first-order hyperbolic
partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs) with an unknown input delay. By
employing a transport PDE to represent delayed actuator states, the system is
transformed into a transport partial differential equation (PDE) with unknown
propagation speed cascaded with a PIDE. A parameter update law is designed
using a Lyapunov argument and the infinite-dimensional backstepping technique
to establish global stability results. Furthermore, the well-posedness of the
closed-loop system is analyzed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed
method was validated through numerical simulation
Robust stabilization of first-order hyperbolic PDEs with uncertain input delay
A backstepping-based compensator design is developed for a system of
first-order linear hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDE)
in the presence of an uncertain long input delay at boundary. We introduce a
transport PDE to represent the delayed input, which leads to three coupled
first-order hyperbolic PDEs. A novel backstepping transformation, composed of
two Volterra transformations and an affine Volterra transformation, is
introduced for the predictive control design. The resulting kernel equations
from the affine Volterra transformation are two coupled first-order PDEs and
each with two boundary conditions, which brings challenges to the
well-posedness analysis. We solve the challenge by using the method of
characteristics and the successive approximation. To analyze the sensitivity of
the closed-loop system to uncertain input delay, we introduce a neutral system
which captures the control effect resulted from the delay uncertainty. It is
proved that the proposed control is robust to small delay variations. Numerical
examples illustrate the performance of the proposed compensator
Delay-Adaptive Boundary Control of Coupled Hyperbolic PDE-ODE Cascade Systems
This paper presents a delay-adaptive boundary control scheme for a coupled linear hyperbolic PDE-ODE cascade system with an unknown and
arbitrarily long input delay. To construct a nominal delay-compensated control
law, assuming a known input delay, a three-step backstepping design is used.
Based on the certainty equivalence principle, the nominal control action is fed
with the estimate of the unknown delay, which is generated from a batch
least-squares identifier that is updated by an event-triggering mechanism that
evaluates the growth of the norm of the system states. As a result of the
closed-loop system, the actuator and plant states can be regulated
exponentially while avoiding Zeno occurrences. A finite-time exact
identification of the unknown delay is also achieved except for the case that
all initial states of the plant are zero. As far as we know, this is the first
delay-adaptive control result for systems governed by heterodirectional
hyperbolic PDEs. The effectiveness of the proposed design is demonstrated in
the control application of a deep-sea construction vessel with cable-payload
oscillations and subject to input delay
