The objective of this paper is to deal with the stabilization of multi-dimensional wave equations under non-collocated control and observation with the following cases: a) internal distributed control and boundary observation; b) boundary control and internal distributed observation; c) locally internal distributed control and boundary observation.

A topological and dynamical characterization of the stability boundaries for a fairly large class of nonlinear autonomous dynamic systems is presented. The stability boundary of a stable equilibrium point is shown to consist of the stable manifolds of all the equilibrium points (and/or closed orbits) on the stability boundary. Several necessary and sufficient conditions are derived to determine...

This paper studies the local exact controllability and the local stabilization of the semilinear Schrödinger equation posed on a product of n intervals (n ≥ 1). Both internal and boundary controls are considered, and the results are given with periodic (resp. Dirichlet or Neumann) boundary conditions. In the case of internal control, we obtain local controllability results which are sharp as fa...

A method for reducing controllers for systems described by partial differential equations (PDEs) is applied to Burgers’ equation with periodic boundary conditions. This approach differs from the typical approach of reducing the model and then designing the controller, and has developed over the past several years into its current form. In earlier work it was shown that functional gains for the ...

The stabilization of the transverse vibration of an axially moving string is implemented using time-varying control of either the boundary transverse motion or the external boundary forces. The total mechanical energy of the translating string is a Lyapunov functional and boundary control laws are designed to dissipate the total vibration energy of the string at the left and/or right boundary. ...
