Authors:

  • Opens a wide research subject by incorporating the study of synchronization into the field of control
  • Introduces a complete theory for treating the exact and approximate boundary synchronizations for a coupled system of wave equations
  • Outlines the solutions not only for exact boundary synchronization, but also for situations where there is further lack of boundary controls for approximate boundary synchronization

Part of the book series: Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications (PNLDE, volume 94)

Part of the book sub series: PNLDE Subseries in Control (PNLDE-SC)

About this book

Within this carefully presented monograph, the authors extend the universal phenomenon of synchronization from finite-dimensional dynamical systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to infinite-dimensional dynamical systems of partial differential equations (PDEs). By combining synchronization with controllability, they introduce the study of synchronization to the field of control and add new perspectives to the investigation of synchronization for systems of PDEs. With a focus on synchronization for a coupled system of wave equations, the text is divided into three parts corresponding to Dirichlet, Neumann, and coupled Robin boundary controls. Each part is then subdivided into chapters detailing exact boundary synchronization and approximate boundary synchronization, respectively. The core intention is to give artificial intervention to the evolution of state variables through appropriate boundary controls for realizing the synchronization in a finite time, creatinga novel viewpoint into the investigation of synchronization for systems of partial differential equations, and revealing some essentially dissimilar characteristics from systems of ordinary differential equations. 

Primarily aimed at researchers and graduate students of applied mathematics and applied sciences, this text will particularly appeal to those interested in applied PDEs and control theory for distributed parameter systems. 



Reviews

“The book is well organized and presents the most important notions of boundary synchronization for hyperbolic systems. The book is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as practical engineers, scientist and researchers interested in boundary synchronization for hyperbolic systems.” (Seenith Sivasundaram, zbMATH 1443.93002, 2020)
