Sampled-data control of 2D Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

This paper addresses sampled-data control of 2D Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation over a rectangular domain. We suggest to divide the 2D rectangular into N sub-domains, where sensors provide spatially averaged or point state measurements to be transmitted through communication network to the controller. Note that differently from 2D heat equation, here we manage with sampled-data control under point measurements. We design a regionally stabilizing controller applied through distributed in space characteristic functions. Sufficient conditions ensuring regional stability of the closed-loop system are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). By solving these LMIs, we find an estimate on the set of initial conditions starting from which the state trajectories of the system are exponentially converging to zero. A numerical example demonstrates the efficiency of the results.
