Sensor deployment for pipeline leakage detection via optimal boundary control strategies

We consider a multi-agent control problem using PDE techniques for a novel sensing problem arising in the leakage detection and localization of offshore pipelines. A continuous protocol is proposed using parabolic PDEs and then a boundary control law is designed using the maximum principle. Both analytical and numerical solutions of the optimality conditions are studied.
