Boundary Estimation of Boundary Parameters for Linear Hyperbolic PDEs.

We propose an adaptive observer scheme to estimate boundary parameters in first-order hyperbolic systems of Partial Differential Equations (PDE). The considered systems feature an arbitrary number of states traveling in one direction and one counter-convecting state. Uncertainties in the boundary reflection coefficients and boundary additive errors are estimated relying on a pre-existing observer design and a novel Lyapunov-based adaptation law.
