Sub-optimal controller design for time-delay nonlinear partial differential equation systems: an extended state-dependent differential Riccati equation approach

Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, a sub-optimal controller based on Extended State-Dependent Differential Riccati Equation (ESDDRE) is suggested for a class of time-delay nonlinear Partial Differential Equation (PDE) systems. At first, an extended pseudo linearisation presentation for parameterisation form using State-Dependent Coefficients (SDC) is proposed. In this presentation, all the time-delay parts are placed in system matrices as well as in input vectors. By defining a cost function and a Hamiltonian related to the PDE systems, the sub-optimal control law regarded on the ESDDRE is obtained. The stability of the closed-loop system based on the ESDDRE control approach is ensured by using a proper Lyapunov function and also Poincaré inequality. Numerical simulation results for three time-delay nonlinear PDE systems illustrate the appropriate performance of the proposed control approach.
