Aksikas, I. Moghadam, A. Alizadeh Forbes, J. F. Optimal linear–quadratic control of coupled parabolic–hyperbolic PDEs <p>This paper focuses on the optimal control design for a system of coupled parabolic–hypebolic partial differential equations by using the infinite-dimensional state-space description and the corresponding operator Riccati equation. Some dynamical properties of the coupled system of interest are analysed to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the linear–quadratic (LQ)-optimal control problem. A state LQ-feedback operator is computed by solving the operator Riccati equation, which is converted into a set of algebraic and differential Riccati equations, thanks to the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the parabolic operator. The results are applied to a non-isothermal packed-bed catalytic reactor. The LQ-optimal controller designed in the early portion of the paper is implemented for the original nonlinear model. Numerical simulations are performed to show the controller performances.</p> Optimal control;linear–quadratic control;operator Riccati equation;parabolic PDEs;hyperbolic PDEs;eigenvalues problem 2016-09-29
