Quantitative rapid boundary stabilization via modal decomposition and its application to the Allen-Cahn equation

Abstract

We investigate quantitative rapid stabilization for the one-dimensional Allen--Cahn equation and develop a quantitative modal decomposition approach that makes explicit the dependence of the feedback laws and stabilization costs on the prescribed decay rate. We construct an explicit feedback law on the finite-dimensional unstable modes via Ackermann's formula. The explicit structure of the feedback allows us to derive quantitative low-frequency estimates, which, combined with the frequency Lyapunov method, yield quantitative stabilization estimates. Together with the stabilization framework of [37], the resulting estimates can be adapted to a broader class of one-dimensional parabolic models. We further construct piecewise feedback laws that yield the null controllability with control costs and finite-time stabilization.
