We extend an iterative approximation method to nonlinear, distributed parameter systems given by partial differential and functional equations. The nonlinear system is approached by a sequence of linear time-varying systems, which globally converges in the limit to the original nonlinear systems considered. This allows many linear control techniques to be applied to nonlinear systems. Here we design a sliding mode controller for a nonlinear wave equation to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

A necessary condition for the existence of the solution of the Riccati differential equation for both linear, time varying systems and nonlinear systems is introduced. First, a necessary condition for the existence of the solution of the Riccati differential equation for linear, time varying systems is proposed. Then, the sufficient conditions to satisfy the necessary condition are given. After that, the existence of the solution of the Riccati differential equation is generalized for nonlinear systems.

In this paper the use of linear, time-invariant, distributed parameter systems (LTI-DPS) as models of physical processes is considered from a control viewpoint. Specifically, recent theoretical results obtained by the authors for the control-oriented modeling of LTI-DPS are concisely reviewed and then a series of applications is given in order to illustrate the practical ramifications of these results.

For distributed parameter systems, open-loop stability in the sense of bounded outputs for bounded inputs, and closed-loop asymptotic stability are considered. Frequency domain stability criteria for open and closed-loop distributed parameter systems are given. The closed-loop stability criterion is similar to V. M. Popov’s stability criterion for lumped systems. The criteria are limited to those linear, time-invariant systems whose dynamics can be described by a transfer function which is the ratio of the multiple transform of the output to the multiple transform of the input. The input may or may not be distributed. An example is given to illustrate the applications of the stability criteria.
