Boundary Output-Feedback Regulation of a Catalytic Cracking Reactor

This work focuses on the design of a boundary output feedback regulator for a catalytic cracking reactor model which can be represented by a set of partial differential equations (PDEs). Based on the linear abstract state-space infinite-dimensional version of the PDEs model and the fact that the system generator is a Riesz spectral operator, a stabilizing compensator is developed by using the spectral properties of the system. Simulations are conducted to test the achievement of the developed algorithm.
