This paper considers the problem of decentralized controllers for spatially distributedsystems. The spatially distributedsystems are assumed to have a network of control units and the decentralized design is solved by approximation of the feedback kernels. By first obtaining the full state feedback controllers corresponding to the centralized design, the individual feedback operators are numerically approximated by the product of static feedback gains with spatial delta functions representing the spatial distribution of the sensing devices. The resulting kernel approximation produces both the interconnection topology between the control units and their interconnection strengths. Since the feedback kernels are themselves based on quadratic control costs, then the kernel approximation method results in a suboptimal controller design with a significantly improved communication costs that reduces the information exchange between the control units. As a special case of a SISO system, the kernel approximation can also provide an optimal sensor location with respect to the energy of the resulting closed loop system. Extensive numerical studies for a diffusion partial differential equation (PDE) in one spatial dimension having four collocated actuator/sensor pairs along with the joint sensor and static gain optimization of a SISO diffusion PDE are included.

Pipeline systems are widely applied in the areas of power, chemistry and petroleum. Model-based leak detection methods for the pipeline systems get more and more attentions. Among these model-based methods, the state observer and state feedback based methods are usually used. While the observability and controllability are prerequisites in using these methods. In this paper, the observability and controllability of the pipeline systems are analyzed. The pipeline systems are modeled as distributed parameter systems and the hyperbolic PDEs are established. The theorem is proposed to determine the observability and controllability of the systems without calculating the rank of observability and controllability matrices. An illustrative example is provided to show the validity and effectiveness of the results.

This paper is dedicated to simulation validation of cascade control structure for heating system consisting of single heat source and single heat receiver. In this structure, two Balance-Based Adaptive Controllers are applied. One of them has the conventional form while the second one (so-called distributedparameter Balance-Based Adaptive Controller operating in primary loop) is derived based on simplified distributedparameter modeling of plate heat exchanger. Modeling of heating system is based on measurement data collected from real laboratory plant and the simulation validation shows significant superiority of the suggested control approach in terms of control performance.

In many situations, a mobile sensor must traverse in hazardous environments to collect information about spatially distributed processes. Without any constraints, the sensor will be guided in spatial locations that tend to improve the performance of the state estimator. This translates to larger values of the state estimation error. Such a guidance is information-sensitive as the sensor seeks "more" useful information within the spatial region. However, when exposure to hazardous environments affect the reliability and life-expectancy of the sensor, then a modification to the guidance must be considered in order to increase the life-expectancy of the sensor. Assuming that the cumulative exposure to the spatial field has a limit, beyond of which the sensor is rendered inoperable, then a modification to the information-sensitive guidance is warranted in order to prolong the life of the sensor. This of course compromises the value of information as an information-averse guidance will certainly prolong the life of a sensor, but the sensor will provide measurements with reduced value for the estimator. These concerns are considered here and a sensor guidance scheme is proposed that provides information-sensitive guidance when the accumulated exposure is below a user-defined limit and then switches to an information-averse guidance in order to prolong the life-expectancy of the sensor. Numerical studies for a diffusion partial differential equation with a single mobile sensor are provided to provide some insights on the modified sensor guidance policy and its increased life expectancy.

In control of vibrations, the location, size, distribution and number of actuating and sensing devices are part of the controller design problem. For instance, in control of flexible structures and acoustic noise reduction, both the type of actuators and sensors, as well as their locations, can be chosen. Furthermore, due to advances in materials, the shape of the hardware is sometimes also a design variable. Previous work on optimal actuator location is generalized to include the situation where the actuator affects the internal dynamics of the system, and also for the design of optimal passive damping. Two examples are provided to illustrate the applicability of the result.

The objective of the paper is to develop a boundary control method for the Black-Scholes PDE which describes option dynamics. It is shown that the procedure for numerical solution of Black-Scholes PDE results into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and an associated state equations model. For the local subsystems, into which a Black-Scholes PDE is decomposed, it becomes possible to apply boundary-based feedback control. The controller design proceeds by showing that the state-space model of the Black-Scholes PDE stands for a differentially flat system. Next, for each subsystem which is related to a nonlinear ODE, a virtual control input is computed, that can invert the subsystem's dynamics and can eliminate the subsystem's tracking error. From the last row of the state-space description, the control input (boundary condition) that is actually applied to the Black-Scholes PDE system is found. This control input contains recursively all virtual control inputs which were computed for the individual ODE subsystems associated with the previous rows of the state-space equation. Thus, by tracing the rows of the state-space model backwards, at each iteration of the control algorithm, one can finally obtain the control input that should be applied to the Black-Scholes PDE system so as to assure that all its state variables will converge to the desirable setpoints.

Tracking an ensemble of basic signals is often required of control systems in general. Here we are given a linear continuous-time infinite-dimensional plant on a Hilbert space and a space of tracking signals generated by a finite basis, and we show that there exists a stabilizing direct adaptive control law that will stabilize the plant and cause it to asymptotically track any member of this collection of signals. The plant is described by a closed, densely defined linear operator that generates a continuous semigroup of bounded operators on the Hilbert space of states. There is no state or parameter estimation used in this adaptive approach. Our results are illustrated by adaptive control of general linear diffusion systems.

This paper is concerned with the numerical and analog modeling issues for a class of parabolic transport equations of the type reaction-advection-diffusion. The computational procedure relies on the Method of Lines concept and the canonical cell-based neural networks paradigm. It is derived from a recently proposed procedure for solving hyperbolic propagation equations with non-standard boundary conditions. The resulted highly structured and repetitive computational device allows both computational and analog modeling of the considered distributedparameter system. The procedure is applied to a nonlinear bioreactor distributedparameter model of the type reaction-advection-diffusion with Hadane kinetic function.
