On a new approach to asymptotic stabilization problems

Abstract

A numerical algorithm for solving the asymptotic stabilization problem by the initial data to a fixed hyperbolic point with a given rate is proposed and justified. The stabilization problem is reduced to projecting the resolving operator of the given evolution process on a strongly stable manifold. This approach makes it possible to apply the results to a wide class of semidynamical systems including those corresponding to partial differential equations. By way of example, a numerical solution of the problem of the asymptotic stabilization of unstable trajectories of the two-dimensional Chafee-Infante equation in a circular domain by the boundary conditions is given.
