Robustness of feedback control systems of parabolic type against perturbations to an elliptic operator (Q1329274)

The author studies linear control systems of parabolic type. He gives convergence results concerning feedback stabilization against perturbations which concern both elliptic operator and boundary conditions. This is provided by a suitable estimation of the resolvent \((\lambda- M)^{-1}\) by an upper bound of its norm of the form \({K\over {1+| \lambda|}}\), where the system is \({u\over {dt}}+ Mu=0\). This occurs again for the perturbation \(\widetilde{M}\), when perturbation is near enough of the nonperturbed system (for a suitable topology). Proofs are given thanks to study of various fractional powers of perturbed elliptic operators.
