Backstepping transformation; Backstepping transformation

Technique for simplifying the structure of a system of partial differential equations using an integral transformation.

Lyapunov functional; Lyapunov functional

Energy-related function that decreases along the solutions of the system. This is a powerful tool for establishing the asymptotic stability of finite- or infinite-dimensional systems.

Methods of characteristics; Méthode des caractéristiques

A method of finding curves along which a partial differential equation reduces to an ordinary differential equation.

Contrôleur early lumping ; Early lumping controller

Control method for partial differential equations consisting in approximating the system by a finite-dimensional...
