Velocity Stabilization of a Wave Equation With a Nonlinear Dynamic Boundary Condition

Abstract

This paper deals with a one-dimensional wave equation with a nonlinear dynamic boundary condition and a Neumann-type boundary control acting on the other extremity. We consider a class of nonlinear stabilizing feedbacks that only depend on the velocity at the controlled extremity. The uncontrolled boundary is subject to a nonlinear first-order term, which may represent nonlinear boundary anti-damping. Initial data is taken in the optimal energy space associated with the problem. Exponential decay of the mechanical energy is investigated in different cases. Stability and attractivity of suitable invariant sets are established.

Saturated Boundary Stabilization of Partial Differential Equations Using Control-Lyapunov Functions

“…As far as hyperbolic system are considered, nonlinear controllers could be also designed as done in. 56,72 Finally, let us cite the papers 36,37 dealing with regulation problems, that could be seen as generalizations of stabilization problems for both the parabolic equations and the wave equation.…”
