Exponential Convergence of an Observer Based on Partial Field Measurements for the Wave Equation

We analyze an observer strategy based on partial—that is, in a subdomain—measurements of the solution of a wave equation, in order to compensate for uncertain initial conditions. We prove the exponential convergence of this observer under a nonstandard observability condition, whereas using measurem...
