Abstract: Smith predictorlike designs for compensation of arbitrarily long input delays are commonly available only for finite-dimensional systems. Only very few examples exist, where such compensation has ...

Abstract: Slow sensors arise in many applications, including sensing chemical concentrations in tracking of contaminant plumes. Slow sensors are often the cause of poor performance and a potential cause ...

Abstract: We consider general nonlinear systems with time-varying input and state delays for which we design predictor-based feedback controllers. Based on a time-varying infinite-dimensional backstepping ...

Abstract: We consider an electrohydraulic valve system (EHVS) model with uncertain parameters that may possibly vary with time. This is a nonlinear third order system consisting of two clearly separated ...

Abstract: In a companion paper we have solved the basic problem of full-state stabilization of unstable “shock-like” equilibrium profiles of the viscous Burgers equation with actuation at the boundaries. ...

Abstract: We present a boundary feedback law that stabilizes the velocity, pressure, and electromagnetic fields in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) channel flow. The MHD channel flow, also known as Hartmann ...

Abstract: Frequencies of higher-order modes of fluid dynamic phenomena participating in aeroengine compressor instabilities far exceed the bandwidth of available (affordable) actuators. For this reason, most ...

Abstract: Explicit motion-planning reference solutions are presented for flexible beams with Kelvin–Voigt (KV) damping. The goal is to generate periodic reference signals for the displacement and deflection ...

Abstract: We present a control design method for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) based on a combination of gain scheduling and backstepping theory for linear PDEs. A benchmark first-order ...
