On Decay Estimates of Solutions to One-dimensional Linear Parabolic Feedback Control Systems

Abstract

In feedback stabilization for linear parabolic systems,a control scheme is designed so that the “state” of the system decays with a designated decay rate as t → ∞. An arbitrary linear functional of the state, which is subordinate to the state, also decays at least with the same decay rate. We study in the paper a class of linear parabolic systems of one dimension, and construct a specific control scheme such that a nontrivial linear functional decays exactly faster than the state.
