In this paper, the driving idea is to use a possible approximation of
partial differential equations with boundary control by ordinary
differential equations with time-varying delayed input, for a control purpose.
This results in
the development of a specific nonlinear control methodology for such delayed-input systems.
The case of water flow control in open channel systems is used as a
motivating and illustrative example, with corresponding simulation
results.

Abstract
In this paper, the driving idea is to use a possible approximation of
partial differential equations with boundary control by ordinary
differential equations with time-varying delayed input, for a control purpose.
This results in
the development of a specific nonlinear control methodology for such delayed-input systems.
The case of water flow control in open channel systems is used as a
motivating and illustrative example, with corresponding simulation
results.
