Boundary control of PDEs: a course on backstepping designs

The text s broad coverage includes parabolic PDEs; hyperbolic PDEs of first and second order; fluid, thermal, and structural systems; delay systems; PDEs with third and fourth derivatives in space; real-valued as well as complex-valued PDEs; stabilization as well as motion planning and trajectory tracking for PDEs; and elements of adaptive control for PDEs and control of nonlinear PDEs.

It is appropriate for courses in control theory and includes homework exercises and a solutions manual that is available from the authors upon request.

Audience: This book is intended for both beginning and advanced graduate students in a one-quarter or one-semester course on backstepping techniques for boundary control of PDEs. It is also accessible to engineers with no prior training in PDEs.
