We present a control design method for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) based on a combination of gain scheduling and backstepping theory for linear PDEs. A benchmark first-order hyperbolic system with an in-domain nonlinearity is considered first. For this system a nonlinear feedback law, based on gain scheduling, is derived explicitly, and a proof of local exponential stability...

This note deals with the analysis of a model for partial damage, where the rate-independent, unidirectional ow rule for the damage variable is coupled with the rate-dependent heat equation, and with the momentum balance featuring inertia and viscosity according to Kelvin-Voigt rheology. The results presented here combine the approach from Roubí£ek [Rou09, Rou10] with the methods from Lazzaroni/...

The existence of a unique strong solution for the Cauchy problem to semilinear nondegenerate fractional differential equation and for the generalized Showalter–Sidorov problem to semilinear fractional differential equation with degenerate operator at the Caputo derivative in Banach spaces is proved. These results are used for search of solution existence conditions for a class of optimal contro...

The motion of viscoelastic (Kelvin-Voigt model) bodies between an upper and a lower obstacle is studied both mathematically and numerically. The two obstacles are assumed to be stationary perfect rigid, therefore, Signorini contact conditions are imposed at each obstacle, which can be interpreted as a couple of complementarity conditions (CCs). The convergence of numerical trajectories for gene...

Existence of a very weak solution to the d-dimensional thermo-viscoelasticity system for Kelvin-Voigt-type material at small strains involving (possibly nonlinear) monotone viscosity of a p-Laplacian type and temperature-dependent heat capacity of an (ω−1)-polynomial growth is proved by a successive passage to a limit in a suitably regularized Galerkin approximation and sophisticated a priori e...

In this paper, the moment Lyapunov exponent and stochastic stability of a fractional viscoelastic plate driven by non-Gaussian colored noise is investigated. Firstly, dynamic equations with two degrees freedom are established piston theory Galerkin approximate method. The Kelvin–Voigt constitutive relation used to describe material properties plate, which leads that derivation term introduced i...

This paper is on the asymptotic behavior of elastic string equation with localized degenerate Kelvin–Voigt damping u t ( x , ) − [ + b ] = 0 ∈ 1 > \begin{equation} u_{tt}(x,t)-[u_{x}(x,t)+b(x) u_{xt}(x,t) ]_{x}=0,\; x\in (-1,1),\; t>0, \end{equation} (0.1)where $b(x)=0$ $x\in (-1,0]$ and α $b(x)=x^\alpha >0$ (0,1)$ for $\alpha \in . It known that optimal decay rate solution 2 $t^{-2}$ in limit ...
