Output-based receding horizon stabilizing control

Abstract: A receding horizon control framework is coupled with a Luenberger observer to construct an output-based control input stabilizing parabolic equations. The actuators and sensors are indicator functions of small subdomains, representing localized actuation and localized measurements. It is shown that, for a class of explicitly given sets of actuators and sensors, we can guarantee the stabilizing property of the constructed input. Results of numerical simulations are presented validating the theoretical findings.
