Compensation of actuator dynamics governed by quasilinear hyperbolic PDEs

چکیده
We present a methodology for stabilization of general nonlinear systems with actuator dynamics governed by a certain class of, quasilinear, first-order hyperbolic PDEs. Since for such PDE–ODE cascades the speed of propagation depends on the PDE state itself (which implies that the prediction horizon cannot be a priori known analytically), the key design challenge is the determination of the predictor state. We resolve this challenge and introduce a PDE predictor-feedback control law that compensates the transport actuator dynamics. Due to the potential formation of shock waves in the solutions of quasilinear, firstorder hyperbolic PDEs (which is related to the fundamental restriction for systems with time-varying delays that the delay rate is bounded by unity), we limit ourselves to a certain feasibility region around the origin and we show that the PDE predictor-feedback law achieves asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system, providing an estimate of its region of attraction. Our analysis combines Lyapunov-like arguments and ISS estimates. Since it may be intriguing as to what is the exact relation of the cascade to a system with input delay, we highlight the fact that the considered PDE–ODE cascade gives rise to a system with input delay, with a delay that depends on past input values (defined implicitly via a nonlinear equation). The developed control design methodology is applied to the control of vehicular traffic flow at distant bottlenecks. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Model Predictive Optimal Control of a Time-Delay Distributed-Parameter System
This paper presents an optimal control method for a class of distributed-parameter systems governed by first order, quasilinear hyperbolic partial differential equations that arise in many physical systems. Such systems are characterized by time delays since information is transported from one state to another by wave propagation. A general closed-loop hyperbolic transport model is controlled b...
متن کاملLocal Exponential H Stabilization of a 2× 2 Quasilinear Hyperbolic System using Backstepping
We consider the problem of boundary stabilization for a quasilinear 2×2 system of first-order hyperbolic PDEs. We design a full-state feedback control law, with actuation on only one end of the domain, and prove local H exponential stability of the closed-loop system. The proof of stability is based on the construction of a strict Lyapunov function. The feedback law is found using the recently ...
متن کاملA method for finding exact solutions to hyperbolic systems of first-order PDEs
Differential constraints are used as a means of developing a systematic method for finding exact solutions to quasilinear nonautonomous hyperbolic systems of first-order partial differential equations (PDEs) involving two independent variables. The leading assumption of the hyperbolicity of the basic system together with a strict compatibility argument permits characterization of the most gener...
متن کاملCompensating actuator and sensor dynamics governed by diffusion PDEs
For (possibly unstable) ODE systems with actuator delay, predictor-based infinite-dimensional feedback can compensate for actuator delay of arbitrary length and achieve stabilization.We extend this concept to another class of PDE-ODE cascades, where the infinite-dimensional part of the plant is of diffusive, rather than convective type. We derive predictor-like feedback laws and observers, with...
متن کاملLocal exponential H2 stabilization of a 2 × 2 quasilinear hyperbolic system using backstepping
In this work, we consider the problem of boundary stabilization for a quasilinear 2 × 2 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 H2 exponential stability of the closedloop system. Our proof uses a backstepping transformation to find new variables for which a strict Lyapunov function can b...
