The development of the port-Hamiltonian (PH) approach in the past three decades led to a
structured, energy-based framework for modeling, systemtheoretic analysis and control of …

Non-collocated feedback control of water waves in a tube with moving boundary described
by the one-dimensional Saint-Venant equations is considered. Two control approaches are …

Flatness based analysis and closed loop control design for networks of hyperbolic pde's is
considered. To this end a state space description is assigned to the flatness based …

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 …

The hyperbolic distributed-parameter system under consideration comprises a second-order
partial differential equation that is bidirectionally coupled with a first-order ordinary …

The main purpose of this study is the control of both axial and torsional vibrations occurring
along a rotary oil well drilling system. The considered model consists of a system of wave …

We consider the port-Hamiltonian formulation of systems of two conservation laws with
canonical interdomain coupling in one spatial dimension. Based on the structure-preserving …

In this contribution we present a new variant for the well-known buck converter. We
substitute the lumped parameter components of the circuit by the distributed parameter …

Pneumatic systems often comprise a tank and a valve, which are connected via a long tube.
Their high-performance and efficient operation requires fast and accurate pressure changes …

The solution of transport equations results in functional differential equations with time-
delays. This papers deals with the control of linear systems with lumped and distributed …
