Abstract
The paper deals with the finite dimensional control of the generalized Kortewegde Vries Burgers (GKdVB) partial differential equation (PDE). A Karhunen-Lo`eve Galerkin projection procedure is used to derive a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that mimics the dynamics of the GKdVB equation. Using Lyapunov theory, it is shown that the highly nonlinear system of ODEs is stable. However, the simulation results indicate that the system of ODEs converges slowly to the origin. Therefore, two control schemes are proposed for the system of ODEs; the main objective of the controllers is to speed up the convergence to the origin. The first controller is a linear state feedback controller whereas the second controller is a nonlinear controller. It is proven that both controllers guarantee the asymptotic convergence of the states of the system of ODEs to zero. Simulation results indicate that the proposed control schemes work well.
