A De Giorgi Iteration-based Approach for the Establishment of ISS Properties for Burgers' Equation with Boundary and In-domain Disturbances
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 -norm for Burgers'
equation have been established using this method. Moreover, as an application
of De~Giorgi iteration, ISS in -norm w.r.t. in-domain disturbances
and actuation errors in boundary feedback control for a 1- {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

In-domain control of a heat equation: an approach combining zero-dynamics inverse and differential flatness
This paper addresses the set-point control problem of a heat equation with
in-domain actuation. The proposed scheme is based on the framework of zero
dynamics inverse combined with flat system control. Moreover, the set-point
control is cast into a motion planing problem of a multiple-input, multiple-out
system, which is solved by a Green's function-based reference trajectory
decomposition. The validity of the proposed method is assessed through
convergence and solvability analysis of the control algorithm. The performance
of the developed control scheme and the viability of the proposed approach are
confirmed by numerical simulation of a representative system.Comment: Preprint of an original research pape
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
Two-Loop Superstrings in Hyperelliptic Language III: the Four-Particle Amplitude
We compute explicitly the four-particle amplitude in superstring theories by
using the hyperelliptic language and the newly obtained chiral measure of
D'Hoker and Phong. Although the algebra of the intermediate steps is a little
bit involved, we obtain a quite simple expression for the four-particle
amplitude. As expected, the integrand is independent of all the insertion
points. As an application of the obtained result, we show that the perturbative
correction to the term in type II superstring theories is vanishing
point-wise in (even) moduli space at two loops.Comment: v1, LaTex file, 33 pages; v2, 34 pages, add references and minor
