PDE-based observation and predictor-based control for linear systems with distributed infinite input and output delays

This paper considers output feedback stabilization of linear systems with both distributed infinite input and output delays. We first propose a PDE-based observer to deal with distributed infinite output delays. The main idea is to transform infinite-delayed output into a transport PDE with a semi-infinite domain. It is proved that the resulted error systems are exponentially stable and thus the observer is effective. Furthermore, relying on the PDE-based observer, a predictor-based output feedback stabilization controller is provided. This work removes a restrictive condition on eigenvalues of open-loop system in the previous work, which is a distinctive advantage of this work. A simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed observer and controller.
