Abstract:

Simple mathematical results are obtained for the feedback stabilization of certain classes of linear distributive systems in the form of a second-order evolutional equation in a Hilbert space. The application of some of the results to the feedback stabilization of a highly conducting, fully ionized plasma is discussed. Explicit forms of feedback controls are obtained for a plasma supported against gravity by a magnetic field and also for a linear pinch. Author
