OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Data driven feedback control of nonlinear PDEs using the Koopman operator
In this talk we present a data driven reduced order modeling approach for control of nonlinear PDEs which relies on the Koopman operator. We construct a surrogate model for observations of the system state which can be incorporated in an MPC framework. Two different approaches are considered. In the first one, the dynamic control system is replaced by a finite set of autonomous systems with constant control inputs, which transforms the control problem into a switching time problem. For each of these systems, the Koopman operator is approximated individually. Alternatively, for systems depending linearly on the input, we can construct a bilinear surrogate model by interpolating between two Koopman operators for constant inputs. Using a recent convergence result for Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition, convergence of the reduced order model based control problem towards the true optimum can be shown. The resulting feedback controller is applied to several examples such as the 1D Burgers equation and the 2D Navier-Stokes equations. Furthermore, experiments with an electrical drive demonstrate the practical use of the approach.
