On the Stabilization of Infinite Dimensional Semilinear Systems
This chapter considers the question of the output stabilization for a class of infinite dimensional semilinear system evolving on a spatial domain Ω by controls depending on the output operator. First we study the case of bilinear systems, so we give sufficient conditions for exponential, strong and weak stabilization of the output of such systems. Then, we extend the obtained results for bilinear systems to the semilinear ones. Under sufficient conditions, we obtain controls that exponentially, strongly, and weakly stabilize the output of such systems. The method is based essentially on the decay of the energy and the semigroup approach. Illustrations by examples and simulations are also given.

Gradient Optimal Control of the Bilinear Reaction–Diffusion Equation
In this chapter, we study a problem of gradient optimal control for a bilinear reaction–diffusion equation evolving in a spatial domain Ω⊂Rn using distributed and bounded controls. Then, we minimize a functional constituted of the deviation between the desired gradient and the reached one and the energy term. We prove the existence of an optimal control solution of the minimization problem. Then this control is characterized as solution to an optimality system. Moreover, we discuss two special cases of controls: the ones are time dependent, and the others are space dependent. A numerical approach is given and successfully illustrated by simulations.
