Nonlinear Feedback Control of Surface Roughness Using a Stochastic PDE

Abstract

In this work, we develop a method for nonlinear feedback control of the roughness of a one-dimensional surface whose evolution is described by the stochastic KuramotoSivashinsky equation (KSE), a fourth-order nonlinear stochastic partial differential equation. We initially formulate the stochastic KSE into a system of infinite nonlinear stochastic ordinary differential equations by using modal decomposition. A finitedimensional approximation of the stochastic KSE is then derived that captures the dominant mode contribution to the surface roughness. A nonlinear feedback controller is then designed based on the finite-dimensional approximation to control the surface roughness. An analysis of the closed-loop nonlinear infinite-dimensional system is performed to characterize the closed-loop performance enforced by the nonlinear feedback controller in the closed-loop infinite-dimensional system. The effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear controller and the advantages of the nonlinear controller over a linear controller resulting from the linearization of the nonlinear controller around the zero solution are demonstrated through numerical simulations.

Milstein Approximation for Advection-Diffusion Equations Driven by Multiplicative Noncontinuous Martingale Noises

“…Within the last decades, the extension of partial differential equations to stochastic partial differential equations has become increasingly more important in applications, especially in engineering (image analysis, surface analysis, and filtering, etc. [26,32,38,40,45]). On the other hand, in finance, finite dimensional systems of stochastic differential equations have been extended to infinite dimensional ones, i.e., to stochastic partial differential equations (see e.g., [1,17]).…”

Almost sure convergence of a Galerkin approximation for SPDEs of Zakai type driven by square integrable martingales

“…The numerical study and simulation of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) has been an active field of research for the last fifteen years. Within the last years the extension of PDEs to SPDEs has become more and more important in applications especially in engineering such as image analysis, surface analysis, filtering [22,27,29,31,35]. On the other hand side, in finance, people extend finite dimensional systems of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) to infinite dimensional ones [15,4], i.e.…”
