Abstract
This work studies the influence of some constraints on a stabilizing feedback law. An abstract nonlinear control system is considered for which we assume that there exists a linear feedback law that makes the origin of the closed-loop system globally asymptotically stable. This controller is then modified via a cone-bounded nonlinearity. Well-posedness and stability theorems are stated. The first theorem is proved thanks to the Schauder fixed-point theorem and the second one with an infinite-dimensional version of LaSalle’s invariance principle. These results are illustrated on a linear Korteweg-de Vries equation by some simulations and on a nonlinear heat equation.

A function \(x:[0,\infty )\rightarrow X\) is called a strong solution to (7) if \(x(t)\in D(A)\) for all \(t\ge 0\) and if it satisfies the initial value problem.

A Precompacity of the KdV equation with a cone-bounded nonlinearity
This section is devoted to the proof of the precompactness of the canonical embedding from \(D(A_\sigma )=D(A)\), defined in (26), into \(X:=L^2(0,L)\). Let us state the lemma and prove it.
Lemma 2
The canonical embedding from \(D(A_\sigma )\), equipped with the graph norm, into \(X:=L^2(0,L)\) is compact.
Proof of Lemma 2
We follow the strategy of [21, 26] and [11]. Let us recall the definition of the graph norm
Note that
From the definition of the graph norm, we get the following two inequalities
and, since, for all \((s,\tilde{s})\in {\mathbb {C}}^2\), it holds \(|s+\tilde{s}|^2\le 2|s|^2+2|\tilde{s}|^2\), we have
Noticing that \(\Vert x^{\prime \prime \prime }\Vert ^2_{L^2(0,L)}=\Vert x^{\prime \prime \prime }+x^\prime -x^\prime \Vert ^2_{L^2(0,L)}\), we have
and using that \(\Vert x^\prime \Vert ^2_{L^2(0,L)}=\Vert x^\prime +x^{\prime \prime \prime }-x^{\prime \prime \prime }+zx-zx\Vert ^2_{L^2(0,L)}\), we obtain
Deriving some integrations by parts, we get
and therefore
Hence,
Plugging inequality (101) in (103), we have
Therefore,
Considering Equations (99) and (100), it leads us to the following inequality, for all \(x\in D(A)\),
where \(\varDelta \) is a term which depends only on L.
Thus, if we consider now a sequence \(\{x_n\}_{n\in \mathbb {N}}\) in \(D(A_\sigma )\) bounded for the graph norm of \(D(A_\sigma )\), we have from (105) that this sequence is bounded in \(H^1_0(0,L)\). Since the canonical embedding from \(H^1_0(0,L)\) to \(L^2(0,L)\) is compact, there exists a subsequence still denoted \(\{x_n\}_{n\in \mathbb {N}}\) such that \(x_n\rightarrow x\) in \(L^2(0,L)\). Thus x belongs to \(L^2(0,L)\) which allows us to state that \(D(A_\sigma )\) embeds compactly in X. It concludes the proof of Lemma 2. \(\square \)
B Nonlinear heat equation
1.1 B.1 Proof of the m-dissipativity of the nonlinear heat equation
This subsection is devoted to the proof of the following theorem.
Theorem 4
The operator defined by (39) is m-dissipative
Proof of Theorem 4
The proof of Theorem 4 is divided in two steps. First, the operator A is proved to be dissipative. Secondly, we prove that, for all \(f\in L^2(0,L)\), there exist \(x\in D(A)\) such that
Let us recall that the dissipativity and the existence of \(x\in D(A)\) such that (106) holds imply that A is a m-dissipative operator.
First step: Dissipativity of the operator A.
Note that we have
Performing some integrations by parts leads to
Moreover, using the fact that \(\sin \) is Lipschitz together with a Poincaré inequality, one has
Hence, it is easy to see that
Second step: Existence of \(x\in D(A)\) such that (106) holds
To prove the existence of \(x\in D(A)\) such that (106) holds, one has to prove that there exists a solution to the following nonlinear ODE
We aim at applying the Schauder fixed-point theorem to the following nonhomogeneous linear ODE
where \(y\in L^2(0,1)\). It is easy to see that there exists a unique solution to (112).
Focus on the map
where \(x={\mathcal {T}}(y)\) is the unique solution to (112).
We define
From the theorem of Rellich, the injection of \(H^1_0(0,1)\) in \(L^2(0,1)\) is compact, then C is bounded in \(H^1_0(0,1)\) and is relatively compact in \(L^2(0,1)\). Moreover, it is a closed subset of \(L^2(0,1)\). Thus C is a compact subset of \(L^2(0,1)\). In order to apply the Schauder theorem, we have to prove that \({\mathcal {T}}(L^2(0,1))\subset C\) for a suitable choice of M and \(\lambda \). Let us multiply the first line of (112) by z and then integrate between 0 and 1. After some integrations by parts, one has
Hence, applying Cauchy Schwarz inequality leads to
Therefore, since \(\Vert x^\prime \Vert ^2_{L^2(0,1)}\) and \(\Vert x\Vert _{H^1_0(0,1)}\) are equivalent by the Poincaré inequality, one has
where
Hence, applying Theorem 3, it concludes the proof of Theorem 4. \(\square \)
1.2 B.2 Precompacity of the nonlinear heat equation with a cone-bounded nonlinearity
This subsection is devoted to the proof of the following lemma.
Lemma 3
The canonical embedding from \(D(A_\sigma )\), equipped with the graph norm, into \(X:=L^2(0,1)\) is compact.
Proof of Lemma 3
We follow the strategy of [21, 26] and [11]. Let us recall the definition of the graph norm
Note that we have
and
Hence,
Noticing that \(\Vert x\Vert _{L^2(0,1)}^2 = \Vert x-x^{\prime \prime }+x^{\prime \prime }\Vert _{L^2(0,1)}^2\), we have
Performing an integration by parts, we obtain
Hence, using (121), the following inequality holds
Thus, if we consider now a sequence \(\{x_n\}_{n\in \mathbb {N}}\) in \(D(A_\sigma )\) bounded for the graph norm of \(D(A_\sigma )\), we have from (105) that this sequence is bounded in \(H^1_0(0,L)\). Since the canonical embedding from \(H^1_0(0,L)\) to \(L^2(0,L)\) is compact, there exists a subsequence still denoted \(\{x_n\}_{n\in \mathbb {N}}\) such that \(x_n\rightarrow x\) in \(L^2(0,L)\). Thus x belongs to \(L^2(0,L)\) which allows us to state that \(D(A_\sigma )\) embedds compactly in X. It concludes the proof of Lemma 3. \(\square \)
