报告摘要：

  Our aim is to design a simple output feedback law such that the transient as well as the asymptotic behavior of a dynamical system has desired properties. This goal is, for a certain class of input-output system, achieved by the so-called "funnel controller", which is a special nonlinear feedback law for tracking control.

  We discuss the class of systems for which funnel control is applicable.  This is for instance the case for ODE systems with asymptotically stable zero dynamics and relative degree one. The meaning of these assumptions will also be discussed in the talk. We further show that the funnel controller can be applied to stabilize certain classes of differential-algebraic systems and the heat equation with boundary control.
