Abstract
In this paper, we consider the boundary control of the fresh air mass fraction in a Diesel engine operated with low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation. The air mass fraction transport phenomenon is modeled using a cascade of first-order linear parameter-varying hyperbolic systems with dynamics associated with their boundary conditions. By means of Lyapunov-based techniques, sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the exponential stability of this class of infinite dimensional systems. We develop a polytopic approach to synthesize a robust boundary control that guarantees the exponential stability for a given convex parameter set. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed boundary control to regulate the mass fraction of fresh air in a Diesel engine.
