Fredholm transformation on Laplacian and rapid stabilization for the heat equation
Abstract
We study the rapid stabilization of the heat equation on the 1-dimensional torus using the backstepping method with a Fredholm transformation. We prove that, under some assumption on the control operator, two scalar controls are necessary and sufficient to get controllability and rapid stabilization. This classical framework allows us to present the backstepping method with Fredholm transformations on Laplace operators in a sharp functional setting, which is the main objective of this work. Finally, we prove that the same Fredholm transformation also leads to the local rapid stability of the viscous Burgers equation.

I am currently in secondment at Inria Paris, as a researcher in the CAGE team. I work on control, stabilization and optimal control problems in infinite dimension (PDEs and evolution equation), with a particular focus on constrained control.
I have also dabbled in data-driven modelling and control, in particular methods involving the Koopman operator.
More recently, I have taken an interest in reachability analysis. I co-supervised the PhD thesis of Ivan Hasenohr with Camille Pouchol and Yannick Privat, during which we developed computer-assisted proofs of reachability and non-reachability.
