Resumen
For population systems modeled by age-structured hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) that are bilinear in the input and evolve with a positive-valued infinite-dimensional state, global stabilization of constant yield set points was achieved in prior work. Seasonal demands in biotechnological production processes give rise to time-varying yield references. For the proposed control objective aiming at a global attractivity of desired yield trajectories, multiple non-standard features have to be considered: a non-local boundary condition, a PDE state restricted to the positive orthant of the function space and arbitrary restrictive but physically meaningful input constraints. Moreover, we provide Control Lyapunov Functionals ensuring an exponentially fast attraction of adequate reference trajectories. To achieve this goal, we make use of the relation between first-order hyperbolic PDEs and integral delay equations leading to a decoupling of the input-dependent dynamics and the infinite-dimensional internal one. Furthermore, the dynamic control structure does not necessitate exact knowledge of the model parameters or online measurements of the age-profile. With a Galerkin-based numerical simulation scheme using the key ideas of the Karhunen–Loève-decomposition, we demonstrate the controller’s performance.
