Mobile sensor networks for sampled-data control of a class of distributed parameter systems

This paper develop the sampled-data control problem of a class of distributed parameter systems. A novel sampled-data control scheme is presented using mobile sensor networks. By utilizing a Lyapunov functional which depend on spatial parameter, a controller combine to decentralized static output feedback control scheme and the point measurement of the mobile sensor is designed to derive several sufficient criteria ensuring the distributed parameter systems to be globally asymptotically stable. The criteria are given in the form of linear operator inequalities and the velocity law of each mobile sensor. It is also shown that static sampled-data control of distributed parameter systems is just a special case of our main results. A numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme in enhancing system performance.
