On forwarding techniques for stabilization and set-point output regulation of semilinear infinite-dimensional systems

Abstract

A stabilizer based on the forwarding technique is proposed for semilinear infinite-dimensional systems in cascade form. Sufficient conditions for local exponentially stability and global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop are derived. Results for the problem of local set-point output regulation are also obtained. Finally, an application to a system consisting of a flexible beam attached to a rotating joint is proposed.
