Finite-Dimensional RHC Control of Linear Time-Varying Parabolic PDEs: Stability Analysis and Model-Order Reduction
Abstract: This chapter deals with the stabilization of a class of linear time-varying parabolic partial differential equations employing receding horizon control (RHC). Here, RHC is finite-dimensional, i.e., it enters as a time-depending linear combination of finitely many indicator functions whose total supports cover only a small part of the spatial domain. Further, we consider the squared l1-norm as the control cost. This leads to a nonsmooth infinite-horizon problem which allows a stabilizing optimal control with a low number of active actuators over time. First, the stabilizability of RHC is investigated. Then, to speed-up numerical computation, the data-driven model-order reduction (MOR) approaches are adequately incorporated within the RHC framework. Numerical experiments are also reported which illustrate the advantages of our MOR approaches.
