Local output feedback stabilization of reaction–diffusion PDEs with saturated measurement

Abstract

AbstractThis paper addresses the topic of output feedback stabilization of general one-dimensional reaction–diffusion partial differential equations (PDEs) in the presence of a saturation in the measurement. The boundary control and the second boundary condition take the form of Dirichlet/Neumann/Robin boundary conditions. The measurement is selected as a boundary Dirichlet trace. The boundary measurement, as available for feedback control, is assumed to be subject to a saturation. In this context, we achieve the local exponential stabilization of the reaction–diffusion PDE while estimating a subset of the domain of attraction of the origin.
