Abstract
We develop a delay-adaptive controller for a class of first-order
hyperbolic partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs) with an
unknown input delay. By employing a transport PDE to represent delayed
actuator states, the system is transformed into a transport partial
differential equation (PDE) with unknown propagation speed cascaded with
a PIDE. A parameter update law is designed using a Lyapunov argument and
the infinite-dimensional backstepping technique to establish global
stability results. Furthermore, the well-posedness of the closed-loop
system is analyzed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method
was validated through numerical simulations.
