State feedback design for a hybrid system consisting of a spatially one-dimensional second
order hyperbolic distributed parameter system with spatially dependent coefficients and a
finite dimensional linear system is considered. The approach relies on the flatness based
parametrization of the solutions which is obtained by integration along the characteristics.
Based on this parametrization the design of flatness based feedback controllers is proposed
in order to achieve an arbitrary desired closed loop dynamics. Approximation strategies of …
