Time-delayed feedback control of a hydraulic model governed by a diffusive wave system (Q2173734)

Summary: This paper is concerned with the feedback flow control of an open-channel hydraulic system modeled by a diffusive wave equation with delay. Firstly, we put forward a feedback flow control subject to the action of a constant time delay. Thereafter, we invoke semigroup theory to substantiate that the closed-loop system has a unique solution in an energy space. Subsequently, we deal with the eigenvalue problem of the system. More importantly, exponential decay of solutions of the closed-loop system is derived provided that the feedback gain of the control is bounded. Finally, the theoretical findings are validated via a set of numerical results.
