(eng): This paper gives new contributions to the development of iterative learning control for distributed parameter systems, based on using finite difference schemes to construct a finitedimensional approximate model of the dynamics for control law design. To form a basis for the new results, systems whose dynamics are described by a fourth-order partial differential equation are considered together with the associated accuracy and numerical stability checks. Some previous control law designs use only a spatial variable as the control input, which can be a serious obstacle to practical implementation since many actuators and sensors must be deployed. This paper’s new design is based on spatially homogeneous sensing and excitation over a selected sub-area of the domain considered. Supporting numerical case studies are given to support the analysis.
