Late lumping of observer-based state feedback for boundary control systems

Abstract

Infinite-dimensional linear systems with unbounded input and output operators are considered. For the purpose of finite-dimensional observer-based state feedback, an observer approximation scheme will be developed which can be directly combined with existing late-lumping controllers and observer output injection gains. It relies on a decomposition of the feedback gain, resp. observer output injection gain, into a bounded and an unbounded part. Based on a perturbation result, the spectrum-determined growth condition is established, for the closed loop.
