Title: Chandrasekhar PDEs for Feedback Control Laws
Abstract
A common approach to designing controllers for distributed
parameter systems is to discretize the problem and rely
on finite dimensional control strategies. These finite
dimensional methods require the solution of an nxn Riccati
equation which becomes prohibitive with fine discretizations.
For problems with a small number of inputs and outputs,
Chandrasekhar equations provide an efficient tool for
computing feedback laws. We'll investigate this as well
as the abstract form, Chandrasekhar PDEs, for computing
functional gains. These gains provide a starting point
for addressing sensor/actuator placement problems.
