PDE Control of String-Actuated Motion

Ji Wang and Miroslav Krstic develop control algorithms for complex PDE-ODE systems in undersea construction, offshore drilling, and cable elevators, operating with rigorous mathematical guarantees in the presence of real-world challenges. The book leverages the PDE backstepping approach and expands its scope in adaptive control, delay systems, and event-triggered control.

Undersea construction, offshore drilling, and cable elevators present significant methodological challenges due to the complexity of their control systems. These systems involve time-varying length PDE systems (cables and drillstrings) coupled with ODE systems (attached loads or tools) that often have unknown parameters and unmeasured states. In response to these challenges, Ji Wang and Miroslav Krstic have developed control algorithms in PDE Control of String-Actuated Motion.

Motivated by physical systems, these algorithms are designed to operate with rigorous mathematical guarantees in the presence of real-world challenges such as unknown parameters, unmeasured distributed states, environmental disturbances, delays, and event-triggered implementations. The book leverages the power of the PDE backstepping approach and expands its scope in many directions.

Filled with theoretical innovations and comprehensive in its coverage, PDE Control of String-Actuated Motion provides new design tools and mathematical techniques with far-reaching potential in adaptive control, delay systems, and event-triggered control.
