Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive dynamic programming-based near optimal boundary controller is developed for partial differential equations (PDEs) modeled by the uncertain Burgers' equation under Neumann boundary condition in 2-D. Initially, Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation is derived in infinite-dimensional space. Subsequently, a novel neural network (NN) identifier is introduced to approximate the nonlinear dynamics in the 2-D PDE. The optimal control input is derived by online estimation of the value function through an additional NN-based forward-in-time estimation and approximated dynamic model. Novel update laws are developed for estimation of the identifier and value function online. The designed control policy can be applied using a finite number of actuators at the boundaries. Local ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop system is studied in detail using Lyapunov theory. Simulation results confirm the optimizing performance of the proposed controller on an unstable 2-D Burgers' equation.
