We investigate an
robust observer-based stabilization design problem for linear stochastic partial differential systems (LSPDSs) under spatio-temporal disturbances and sensor measurement noises. A general theoretical
robust observer-based stabilization method is introduced at the beginning for LSPDSs under intrinsic fluctuation, external disturbance and sensor measurement noise in the spatio-temporal domain. A complex Hamilton Jacobi integral inequality (HJII) needs to be solved when designing the robust
observer-based stabilization for LSPDSs. For simplifying the design procedure, a stochastic state space model is first developed via the semi-discretization finite difference scheme to represent the stochastic partial differential system at each grid node. Then the stochastic state space models at all grid nodes are merged together into a stochastic spatial state space model. Based on this stochastic spatial state space model, an implementable
robust stabilization design is proposed for LSPDSs via an iterative linear matrix inequality (ILMI) method. The proposed robust
stabilization design can efficiently attenuate the effect of spatio-temporal external disturbances and measurement noises upon LSPDSs from the area energy point of view. Finally, a robust
stabilization example simulation is shown to illustrate the design procedure and to confirm the performance of the proposed robust stabilization design method.
