Uniform exponential stability approximations of semi-discretization
schemes for two hybrid systems
Abstract
The uniform exponential stabilities (UESs) of two hybrid control systems
comprised of a wave equation and a second-order ordinary differential
equation are investigated in this study. Linear feedback law and local
viscosity are considered, as are nonlinear feedback law and internal
anti-damping. The hybrid system is first reduced to a first order
port-Hamiltonian system with dynamical boundary conditions, and the
resulting system is discretized using the average central-difference
scheme. Second, the UES of the discrete system is obtained without prior
knowledge of the exponential stability of the continuous system. The
frequency domain characterization of UES for a family of contractive
semigroups and the discrete multiplier approach are used to validate the
main conclusions. Finally, the Trotter-Kato Theorem is used to perform a
convergence study on the numerical approximation approach. Most notably,
the exponential stability of the continuous system is derived by the
convergence of energy and UES, which is a novel approach to studying the
exponential stability of some complex systems. Numerical simulation is
used to validate the effectiveness of the numerical approximating
strategy.
