Existence, uniqueness, and stabilization results for parabolic variational inequalities

In this paper we consider feedback stabilization for parabolic variational inequalities of obstacle type with time and space depending reaction and convection coefficients and show exponential stabilization to nonstationary trajectories. Based on a Moreau-Yosida approximation, a feedback operator is established using a finite (and uniform in the approximation index) number of actuators leading to exponential decay of given rate of the state variable. Several numerical examples are presented addressing smooth and nonsmooth obstacle functions.

Learning an optimal feedback operator semiglobally stabilizing semilinear parabolic equations

Stabilizing feedback operators are presented which depend only on the orthogonal projection of the state onto the finite-dimensional control space. A class of monotone feedback operators mapping the finite-dimensional control space into itself is considered. The special case of the scaled identity operator is included. Conditions are given on the set of actuators and on the magnitude of the monotonicity, which guarantee the semiglobal stabilizing property of the feedback for a class semilinear parabolic-like equations. Subsequently an optimal feedback control minimizing the quadratic energy cost is computed by a deep neural network, exploiting the fact that the feedback depends only on a finite dimensional component of the state. Numerical simulations demonstrate the stabilizing performance of explicitly scaled orthogonal projection feedbacks, and of deep neural network feedbacks.

Semiglobal oblique projection exponential dynamical observers for nonautonomous semilinear parabolic-like equations

The estimation of the full state of a nonautonomous semilinear parabolic equation is achieved by a Luenberger type dynamical observer. The estimation is derived from an output given by a finite number of average measurements of the state on small regions. The state estimate given by the observer converges exponentially to the real state, as time increases. The result is semiglobal in the sense that the error dynamics can be made stable for an arbitrary given initial condition, provided a large enough number of measurements, depending on the norm of the initial condition, is taken. The output injection operator is explicit and involves a suitable oblique projection. The results of numerical simulations are presented showing the exponential stability of the error dynamics.

Stabilization of nonautonomous parabolic equations by a single moving actuator

It is shown that an internal control based on a moving indicator function is able to stabilize the state of parabolic equations evolving in rectangular domains. For proving the stabilizability result, we start with a control obtained from an oblique projection feedback based on a finite number of static actuators, then we used the continuity of the state when the control varies in relaxation metric to construct a switching control where at each given instant of time only one of the static actuators is active, finally we construct the moving control by traveling between the static actuators. Numerical computations are performed by a concatenation procedure following a receding horizon control approach. They confirm the stabilizing performance of the moving control.

Semiglobal exponential stabilization of nonautonomous semilinear parabolic-like systems

It is shown that an explicit oblique projection nonlinear feedback controller is able to stabilize semilinear parabolic equations, with time-dependent dynamics and with a polynomial nonlinearity. The actuators are typically modeled by a finite number of indicator functions of small subdomains. No constraint is imposed on the sign of the polynomial nonlinearity. The norm of the initial condition can be arbitrarily large, and the total volume covered by the actuators can be arbitrarily small. The number of actuators depend on the operator norm of the oblique projection, on the polynomial degree of the nonlinearity, on the norm of the initial condition, and on the total volume covered by the actuators. The range of the feedback controller coincides with the range of the oblique projection, which is the linear span of the actuators. The oblique projection is performed along the orthogonal complement of a subspace spanned by a suitable finite number of eigenfunctions of the diffusion operator. For rectangular domains, it is possible to explicitly construct/place the actuators so that the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed. Simulations are presented, which show the semiglobal stabilizing performance of the nonlinear feedback.

On the explicit feedback stabilisation of 1D linear nonautonomous parabolic equations via oblique projections

In recently proposed stabilisation techniques for parabolic equations, a crucial role is played by a suitable sequence of oblique projections in Hilbert spaces, onto the linear span of a suitable set of M actuators, and along the subspace orthogonal to the space spanned by the first M eigenfunctions of the Laplacian operator. This new approach uses an explicit feedback law, which is stabilising provided that the sequence of operator norms of such oblique projections remains bounded. The main result of the paper is the proof that, for suitable explicitly given sequences of sets of actuators, the operator norm of the corresponding oblique projections remains bounded. In the final part of the paper we provide numerical results, showing the performance of the explicit feedback control for both Dirichlet and Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions.

Stabilization to trajectories for parabolic equations

The feedback exponential stabilization to trajectories for semilinear parabolic equations in a given bounded domain is addressed. The controls take values in a finite-dimensional space and are supported in a small region. Both internal and boundary controls are considered.

Feedback boundary stabilization to trajectories for 3D Navier-Stokes equations

Given a nonstationary trajectory of the Navier-Stokes system, a finite-dimensional feedback boundary controller stabilizing locally the system to the given trajectory is derived. Moreover the controller is supported in a given open subset of the boundary of the domain containing the fluid. In a first step a controller is derived that stabilizes the linear Oseen-Stokes system "around the given trajectory" to zero; for that a corollary of a suitable truncated boundary observability inequality, the regularizing property for the system, and some standard techniques of the optimal control theory are used. Then it is shown that the same controller also stabilizes, locally, the Navier-Stokes system to the given trajectory.
