Nonlinear and Robust Control of PDE Systems

Focusing on the control of nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) systems, this groundbreaking book presents innovative methods for synthesizing nonlinear and robust feedback controllers. It emphasizes quasi-linear hyperbolic and parabolic PDE systems, applying geometric and Lyapunov-based techniques to achieve stabilization and effective output tracking in industrial processes. The text features practical applications in convection-reaction and diffusion-reaction scenarios, such as chemical vapor deposition and crystal growth, while also comparing its methods to existing approaches and addressing implementation challenges.
