Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the minimal null control time of one-dimensional first-order linear hyperbolic systems by one-sided boundary controls. Our main result is an explicit characterization of the smallest and largest values that this minimal null control time can take with respect to the internal coupling matrix. In particular, we obtain a complete description of the situations where the minimal null control time is invariant with respect to all the possible choices of internal coupling matrices. The proof relies on the notion of equivalent systems, in particular the backstepping method, a canonical LU-decomposition for boundary coupling matrices and a compactness-uniqueness method adapted to the null controllability property.

This paper is devoted to study exact controllability of two one-dimensional coupled wave equations with first-order coupling terms with coefficients depending on space and time. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for both exact controllability in high frequency in the general case and the unique continuation in the cascade case.

The goal of this article is to present the minimal time needed for the null controllability and finite-time stabilization of one-dimensional first-order 2×2 linear hyperbolic systems. The main technical point is to show that we cannot obtain a better time. The proof combines the backstepping method with the Titchmarsh convolution theorem.

We are concerned about the controllability of a general linear hyperbolic system of the form dtw(t,x) = Σ(x)∂ x w(t,x) + γC(x)w(t, x) (γ ∈ ℝ) in one space dimension using boundary controls on one side. More precisely, we establish the optimal time for the null and exact controllability of the hyperbolic system for generic γ. We also present examples which yield that the generic requirement is necessary. In the case of constant σ and of two positive directions, we prove that the null-controllability is attained for any time greater than the optimal time for all γ ∈ R and for all C which is analytic if the slowest negative direction can be alerted by both positive directions. We also show that the null-controllability is attained at the optimal time by a feedback law when C = 0. Our approach is based on the backstepping method paying a special attention on the construction of the kernel and the selection of controls.

In this article we study the controllability properties of general compactly perturbed exactly controlled linear systems with admissible control operators. Firstly, we show that approximate and exact controllability are equivalent properties for such systems. Then, and more importantly, we provide for the perturbed system a complete characterization of the set of reachable states in terms of the Fattorini-Hautus test. The results rely on the Peetre lemma.

A singular matrix A may have more than one LU factorizations. In this work the set of all LU factorizations of A is explicitly described when the lower triangular matrix L is nonsingular. To this purpose, a canonical form of A under left multiplication by unit lower triangular matrices is introduced. This canonical form allows us to characterize the matrices that have an LU factorization and to parametrize all possible LU factorizations. Formulae in terms of quotient of minors of A are presented for the entries of this canonical form.

In this work, we consider the problem of boundary stabilization for a quasilinear 2X2 system of first-order hyperbolic PDEs. We design a new full-state feedback control law, with actuation on only one end of the domain, which achieves H^2 exponential stability of the closedloop system. Our proof uses a backstepping transformation to find new variables for which a strict Lyapunov function can be constructed. The kernels of the transformation are found to verify a Goursat-type 4X4 system of first-order hyperbolic PDEs, whose well-posedness is shown using the method of characteristics and successive approximations. Once the kernels are computed, the stabilizing feedback law can be explicitly constructed from them.
Article
In this article we are interested in the boundary stabilization in finite time of one-dimensional linear hyperbolic balance laws with coefficients depending on time and space. We extend the so called “backstepping method” by introducing appropriate time-dependent integral transformations in order to map our initial system to a new one which has desired stability properties. The kernels of the integral transformations involved are solutions to non standard multi-dimensional hyperbolic PDEs, where the time dependence introduces several new difficulties in the treatment of their well-posedness. This work generalizes previous results of the literature, where only time-independent systems were considered.
Book
This monograph explores the modeling of conservation and balance laws of one-dimensional hyperbolic systems using partial differential equations. It presents typical examples of hyperbolic systems for a wide range of physical engineering applications, allowing readers to understand the concepts in whichever setting is most familiar to them. With these examples, it also illustrates how control boundary conditions may be defined for the most commonly used control devices. The authors begin with the simple case of systems of two linear conservation laws and then consider the stability of systems under more general boundary conditions that may be differential, nonlinear, or switching. They then extend their discussion to the case of nonlinear conservation laws and demonstrate the use of Lyapunov functions in this type of analysis. Systems of balance laws are considered next, starting with the linear variety before they move on to more general cases of nonlinear ones. They go on to show how the problem of boundary stabilization of systems of two balance laws by both full-state and dynamic output feedback in observer-controller form is solved by using a “backstepping” method, in which the gains of the feedback laws are solutions of an associated system of linear hyperbolic PDEs. The final chapter presents a case study on the control of navigable rivers to emphasize the main technological features that may occur in real live applications of boundary feedback control. Stability and Boundary Stabilization of 1-D Hyperbolic Systems will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics and control engineering. The wide range of applications it discusses will help it to have as broad an appeal within these groups as possible.
Conference Paper
We consider the problem of boundary stabilization of 3 × 3 linear first-order hyperbolic systems with one positive and two negative transport speeds by using backstepping. The main result of the paper is to supplement the previous works on how to choose multi-boundary feedback inputs applied on the states corresponding to the negative velocities to obtain finite-time stabilization of the original system in the spatial L 2 sense. Our method is still valid for boundary stabilization of general n × n hyperbolic system with arbitrary numbers of states traveling in either directions. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 93D15, 35L04.

This paper deals with the problem of boundary stabilization of first-order n\times n inhomogeneous quasilinear hyperbolic systems. A backstepping method is developed. The main result supplements the previous works on how to design multi-boundary feedback controllers to realize exponential stability of the original nonlinear system in the spatial H^2 sense.

This paper is devoted to giving sharp time estimates for local exact boundary controllability of 1-D homogeneous quasilinear hyperbolic systems. We improve the time for the boundary controllability proposed by Li [Controllability and Observability for Quasilinear Hyperbolic Systems, AIMS Appl. Math. 3, American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), Springfield, MO; Higher Education Press, Beijing, 2010, Thms. 3.2 and 3.3, pp. 39-41] and Zhang [Appl. Math. J. Chinese Univ. Ser. A, 24 (2009), pp. 65-74 (in Chinese)] both for the case of one-sided control and for the case of two-sided control when the dimension of the controls is the same as in the case of onesided control. Our approach relies on the utilization of constructive methods and the characteristic theory together with a suitable iteration scheme on a suitable time interval.

Research on stabilization of coupled hyperbolic PDEs has been dominated by the focus on pairs of counter-convecting ("heterodirectional") transport PDEs with distributed local coupling and with controls at one or both boundaries. A recent extension allows stabilization using only one control for a system containing an arbitrary number of coupled transport PDEs that convect at different speeds against the direction of the PDE whose boundary is actuated. In this paper we present a solution to the fully general case, in which the number of PDEs in either direction is arbitrary, and where actuation is applied on only one boundary (to all the PDEs that convect downstream from that boundary). To solve this general problem, we solve, as a special case, the problem of control of coupled "homodirectional" hyperbolic linear PDEs, where multiple transport PDEs convect in the same direction with arbitrary local coupling. Our approach is based on PDE backstepping and yields solutions to stabilization, by both full-state and observer-based output feedback, trajectory planning, and trajectory tracking problems.

In a recent survey paper D. L. Russell reports (among other things) on controllability results for symmetric hyperbolic systems is one space dimension. Russell explicitly gives two numbers T//0 and T//1 such that the system in question is exactly controllable in times T greater than equivalent to T//1 but not even approximately controllable in times T less than T//0. It is remarked that there must exist some T//c such that the same results hold if both T//0 and T//1 are replaced by T//c. In the present paper it is shown what this ″critical time″ T//c is.
