Stabilization to trajectories for parabolic equations

Both internal and boundary feedback exponential stabilization to trajectories for semilinear parabolic equations in a given bounded domain are addressed. The values of the controls are linear combinations of a finite number of actuators which are supported in a small region. A condition on the family of actuators is given which guarantees the local stabilizability of the control system. It is shown that a linearization-based Riccati feedback stabilizing controller can be constructed. The results of numerical simulations are presented and discussed.acceptedVersionPeer reviewe
