Title: Compensation of Long Input Delays for Unstable Nonlinear and PDE Systems
Abstract:Input delays create challenges in stabilization problems in many applications for unstable plants. The talk will introduce designs for global stabilization of nonlinear systems with long input delays, adaptive control design for linear ODE systems with unknown input delays, stabilizing feedback laws for ODE systems with other infinite-dimensional actuator dynamics, such as heat or wave PDEs, and designs for PDEs with long input delays, such as unstable reaction-diffusion equations and anti-stable wave equations.
