The combination of backstepping-based state-feedback control and flatness-based
trajectory planning and feedforward control is considered for the design of an exponentially …

This work focuses on predictive control of linear parabolic partial differential equations
(PDEs) with boundary control actuation subject to input and state constraints. Under the …

The systematic flatness-based motion planning using formal power series and suitable
summability methods is considered for the finite-time deployment of multi-agent systems into …

We derive in a direct and rather straightforward way the null controllability of the N-
dimensional heat equation in a bounded cylinder with boundary control at one end of the …

We study the tracking or sidewise controllability of the heat equation. More precisely, we
seek for controls that, acting on part of the boundary of the domain where the heat process …

This paper presents a flatness-based approach to the fault diagnosis for a large class of
parabolic and biharmonic distributed-parameter systems (DPS). The inputs, outputs and …

This paper is concerned with the design of an asymptotically stabilizing tracking controller
for an undamped wave equation modeling a piezoelectric stack actuator. For this, flatness …

Spectral analysis is considered for the flatness-based solution of the trajectory planning
problem for a boundary controlled diffusion–reaction system defined on a 1≤ r-dimensional …

This contribution deals with the feed-forward control design for distributed parameter
systems governed by quasi-linear hyperbolic equations. This is achieved in two steps …

This paper considers the combination of flatness-based motion planning and feedforward
control with output feedback to achieve robust tracking of prescribed trajectories for the tip …
