Stabilization of a linear Korteweg-de Vries equation with a saturated internal control (1509.01471v1)

Abstract: This article deals with the design of saturated controls in the context of partial differential equations. It is focused on a linear Korteweg-de Vries equation, which is a mathematical model of waves on shallow water surfaces. In this article, we close the loop with a saturating input that renders the equation nonlinear. The well-posedness is proven thanks to the nonlinear semigroup theory. The proof of the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system uses a Lyapunov function.
