Observer Design and Exponential Stabilization for Wave Equation in Energy Space by Boundary Displacement Measurement Only

In this technical note, we consider finite-time and exponential stabilization for one-dimensional wave equations by boundary displacement measurement only. We limit ourselves in the energy state space where the usual observability inequality is not valid anymore. However, in the optimal state space, the boundary displacement is indeed exactly observable. This motivates us to design observer via displacement output only for these systems. We first discuss a simple case as a motivation. An observer is designed and an output feedback control is then synthesized to make system finite-time stable in energy space. In this same spirit, we consider the same problem for an unstable wave equation and the finite-time stability is also achieved by displacement output feedback. Finally, we consider an anti-stable wave equation. A direct delayed output feedback control can achieve exponential stability with arbitrary decay rate. Simulation results are presented to validate the theoretical conclusions.
