Quantitative rapid stabilization for parabolic equations via the linear quadratic theory

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of quantitative rapid stabilization via the linear quadratic (LQ) theory. Specifically, for non-self-adjoint parabolic equations, by virtue of the LQ theory, we derive the quantitative rapid stabilization by selecting a special cost functional and combining it with a quantitative observability inequality. Furthermore, this approach reveals the equivalence between the quantitative rapid stabilization and the quantitative observability inequality for linear systems. In addition, we apply this framework to the Navier--Stokes equations and establish the quantitative rapid stabilization around nontrivial steady states. Finally, we extend this methodology to finite-dimensional feedback laws in self-adjoint cases.
