Output-feedback stabilization of a class of n+m linear hyperbolic ODE-PDE-ODE systems (2406.09862v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we design an output-feedback controller to stabilize n +m hetero-directional transport partial differential equations (PDEs) coupled on both domain boundaries to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This class of systems can represent, for instance, actuator and load dynamics at the boundaries of a hyperbolic system. The actuator is located at the connection point between the PDE and one of the ODEs, and we consider anti-collocated PDE measurements. We first design a state-observer by combining the backstepping methodology with time-delay system approaches. We then introduce a state feedback controller using analogous techniques before designing the wanted output-feedback control law.
