Backstepping Boundary Control of Burgers’ Equation With Actuator Dynamics,” Syst

Abstract In this paper, we propose a backstepping boundary control law for Burgers' equation with actuator dynamics. While the control law without actuator dynamics depends only on the signals u(0; t) and u(1; t), the backstepping control also depends on ux(0; t), ux(1; t), uxx(0; t) and uxx(1; t), making the regularity of the control inputs the key technical issue of the paper. With elaborate Lyapunov analysis, we prove that all these signals are su ciently regular and the closed-loop system, including the boundary dynamics, is globally H 3 stable and well posed
