Abstract

Abstract: We consider a partial differential equation model widely used for counter-flow heat exchangers and the related robust output regulation problem with boundary control and boundary observation. We show that the control system is an exponentially stable regular linear system, which enables us to use a specific known controller design to robustly regulate the system. The results are illustrated with numerical simulations.
