Finite-time non-fragile boundary feedback control for a class of nonlinear parabolic systems

In this paper, the finite-time non-fragile boundary feedback control problem is investigated for a class of nonlinear parabolic systems, where both the multiplicative and additive controller gain variations are considered to describe the actuator parameter perturbation. Non-fragile boundary control strategies are designed with respect to two controller gain variations via collocated or non-collocated boundary measurement, respectively. In light of the finite-time stability and Lyapunov-based techniques, some sufficient conditions are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities such that the resulting closed-loop system is well-posedness and practically finite-time stable. Finally, numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
