Parameter estimation and output feedback stabilization for the linear Korteweg-de Vries equation with disturbed boundary measurement

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the parameter estimation and boundary feedback stabilization for the linear Korteweg-de Vries equation posed on a finite interval with the boundary observation at the right end and the non-collocated control at the left end. The boundary observation suffers from some unknown disturbance. An adaptive observer is designed and the adaptive laws of the parameters are obtained by the Lyapunov method. The resulted closed-loop system is proved to be well-posed and asymptotically stable in case that the length of the interval is not critical. Moreover, it is shown that the estimated parameter converges to the unknown parameter. As a by-product, a hidden regularity result is proved.
