Abstract settings for tangential boundary stabilization of Navier–Stokes equations by high- and low-gain feedback controllers

The present paper seeks to continue the analysis in Barbu et al. [Tangential boundary stabilization of Navier–Stokes equations, Memoir AMS, to appear] on tangential boundary stabilization of Navier–Stokes equations, d = 2 , 3 , as deduced from well-posedness and stability properties of the corresponding linearized equations. It intends to complement [V. Barbu, I. Lasiecka, R. Triggiani, Tangential boundary stabilization of Navier–Stokes equations, Memoir AMS, to appear] on two levels: (i) by casting the Riccati-based results of Barbu et al. [Tangential boundary stabilization of Navier–Stokes equations, Memoir AMS, to appear] for d = 2 , 3 in an abstract setting, thus extracting the key relevant features, so that the resulting framework may be applicable also to other stabilizing boundary feedback operators, as well as to other parabolic-like equations of fluid dynamics; (ii) by including, in the case d = 2 this time, also the low-level gain counterpart of the results in Barbu et al. [Tangential boundary stabilization of Navier–Stokes equations, Memoir AMS, to appear] with both Riccati-based and spectral-based (tangential) feedback controllers. This way, new local boundary stabilization results of Navier–Stokes equations are obtained over [V. Barbu, I. Lasiecka, R. Triggiani, Tangential boundary stabilization of Navier–Stokes equations, Memoir AMS, to appear].
