Stabilization of a one-dimensional wave equation with variable coefficient under non-collocated control and delayed observation

摘要

In this paper, we consider stabilization of a 1-dimensional wave equation with variable coefficient where non-collocated boundary observation suffers from an arbitrary time delay. Since input and output are non-collocated with each other, it is more complex to design the observer system. After showing well-posedness of the open-loop system, the observer and predictor systems are constructed to give the estimated state feedback controller. Different from the partial differential equation with constant coefficients, the variable coefficient causes mathematical difficulties of the stabilization problem. By the approach of Riesz basis property, it is shown that the closed-loop system is stable exponentially. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effect of the stable controller. This paper is devoted to the wave equation with variable coefficients generalized of that with constant coefficients for delayed observation and non-collocated control.
