Abstract

We study a feedback stabilization problem for a first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation. The problem is inspired by the stabilization of equilibrium age profiles for an age-structured chemostat, using the dilution rate as the control. Two distinguishing features of the problem are that (a) the PDE has a multiplicative (instead of an additive) input and (b) the state is fed back to the inlet boundary. We provide a sampled-data feedback that ensures stabilization under arbitrarily sparse sampling and that satisfies input constraints. Our chemostat feedback does not require measurement of the age profile, nor does it require exact knowledge of the model.
