Control of distributed-parameter systems using normal forms
Duration: 01.09.2023 bis 31.08.2027
A unified normal form approach is developed for linear and nonlinear distributed-parameter systems (DPSs). To this end, two major current research directions in the control theory for DPSs, the backstepping and the flatness-based approach, are extended to new classes of DPSs. Their mutual relationships are investigated to obtain new general and coherent analysis and synthesis methods.
