Mixed-dimensional geometric coupling of port-Hamiltonian systems

Coupling between hyperbolic and diffusive systems: A port-Hamiltonian formulation

The aim of this paper is to study a conservative wave equation coupled to a diffusion equation. This coupled system naturally arises in musical acoustics when viscous and thermal effects at the wall of the duct of a wind instrument are taken into account. The resulting equation, known as Webster-Lokshin model, has variable coefficients in space, and a fractional derivative in time. This equatio...

On Interconnections of Infinite-dimensional Port-Hamiltonian Systems

Network modeling of complex physical systems leads to a class of nonlinear systems called port-Hamiltonian systems, which are defined with respect to a Dirac structure (a geometric structure which formalizes the power-conserving interconnection structure of the system). A power conserving interconnection of Dirac structures is again a Dirac structure. In this paper we study interconnection prop...

Robust Regulation of Infinite-Dimensional Port-Hamiltonian Systems

We will give general sufficient conditions under which a controller achieves robust regulation for a boundary control and observation system. Utilizing these conditions we construct a minimal order robust controller for an arbitrary order impedance passive linear port-Hamiltonian system. The theoretical results are illustrated with a numerical example where we implement a controller for a one-d...

Discrete port-Hamiltonian systems

Either from a control theoretic viewpoint or from an analysis viewpoint it is necessary to convert smooth systems to discrete systems, which can then be implemented on computers for numerical simulations. Discrete models can be obtained either by discretizing a smooth model, or by directly modeling at the discrete level itself. One of the goals of this paper is to model port-Hamiltonian systems...
