We study problems of optimal boundary control with systems governed by linear hyperbolic
partial differential equations. The objective function is quadratic and given by an integral …

This paper is devoted to the design of an optimal stabilizing compensator for a boundary
control distributed parameter system that is described by a set of hyperbolic partial …

This work addresses an optimal linear quadratic (LQ) boundary output regulator design
problem for the plug flow reactor described by hyperbolic partial differential equations …

In this paper we are interested in the LQ-optimal boundary control of counterflow heat
exchanger. The dynamics of this system is described (under some assumptions) by …

In industrial applications where energy is vital, heat exchangers have acquired major
economic importance. Indeed, a large part of the thermal energy produced or collected in …

We solve an inverse optimal control problem for a class of systems of 2× 2 linear hyperbolic
partial differential equations (PDEs). The derived controller exponentially stabilizes the …

The dynamics of many chemical and mechanical processes are influenced by both temporal
and spatial factors and these processes are called distributed parameter systems (DPS) …

In this chapter, non-adaptive controllers and observers will be derived. Most of the results
will concern systems in the form (7.4), which we restate here u_t (x, t)+ λ (x) u_x (x, t)= c_ 1 …
