On L∞ stabilization of diagonal semilinear hyperbolic systems by saturated boundary control

Abstract

This paper considers a diagonal semilinear system of hyperbolic partial differential equations with positive and constant velocities. The boundary condition is composed of an unstable linear term and a saturated feedback control. Weak solutions with initial data in L2([0, 1]) are considered and well-posedness of the system is proven using nonlinear semigroup techniques. Local L∞ exponential stability is tackled by a Lyapunov analysis and convergence of semigroups. Moreover, an explicit estimation of the region of attraction is given.
