Abstract
This paper addresses the boundary output feedback stabilisation of a general class of 1-D reaction–diffusion PDEs with delayed boundary measurement. The output takes the form of either a Dirichlet or Neumann trace. The output delay can be arbitrarily large. The control strategy is composed of a finite-dimensional observer that is used to observe a delayed version of the first modes of the PDE and a predictor component that is employed to obtain the control input to be applied at the current time. For any given value of the output delay, we assess the stability of the resulting closed-loop system provided the order of the observer is selected large enough. Taking advantage of this result, we discuss the extension of the control strategy to the case of simultaneous input and output delays.
