“…The 2D models, introduced in the 1970s (Fornasini & Marchesini, 1976;Givone & Roesser, 1972), have applications in, for example, data filtering, image processing (Roesser, 1975), and, in general, in systems described by partial differential equations, like the Darboux equation of processes like gas absorption, water stream heating, and air drying (see, e.g., Marszalek, 1984). In connection with Roesser (1975) and Fornasini and Marchesini (1976) models, many problems have been extensively investigated, such as realisation, controllability, minimum energy control, and H ∞ filtering (see, e.g., Boukili, Hmamed, Benzaouia, & El Hajjaji, 2014;El-Kasri, Hmamed, Alvarez, & Tadeo, 2012;El-Kasri, Hmamed, Tissir, & Tadeo, 2013;Hmamed, Alfidi, Benzaouia, & Tadeo, 2007;Kaczorek, 1997;Li & Gao, 2012). Nonetheless, the stabilisation problem is not fully solved for many classes of 2D systems.…”
