Integral Quadratic Constraints on Linear Infinite-dimensional Systems for Robust Stability Analysis
This paper proposes a framework to assess the stability of an ordinary differential equation which is coupled to a 1D-partial differential equation (PDE). The stability theorem is based on a new result on Integral Quadratic Constraints (IQCs) and expressed in terms of two linear matrix inequalities with a moderate computational burden. The IQCs are not generated using dissipation inequalities involving the whole state of an infinite-dimensional system, but by using projection coefficients of the infinite-dimensional state. This permits to generalize our robustness result to many other PDEs. The proposed methodology is applied to a time-delay system and numerical results comparable to those in the literature are obtained.
