Control Theory for Distributed Parameter Systems

Abstract

This research developed both the theory and algorithms capable of providing realistic control systems for physical plants of interest to the Air Force which are modeled as distributed parameter systems. Much of the focus has been on developing algorithms to obtain the innerouter factorization (IOF). Having the factorization allows one to stabilize systems, design compensators, and find, in general, control strategies to infinite-dimensional systems. We have established important relationships between the IOF, well-posedness, and the mixed sensitivity problem. Control solutions have been extended to a wider class of single-input single-output infinite dimensional systems, as well as a specific class of multi-input multi-output systems. The IOF has also been extended to a specific class of irrational H infinity matrices.
