Operator-Theoretic Stability and Observer Synthesis for Parameter-Dependent Vlasov--Maxwell Dynamics
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: An operator--theoretic formulation is developed for the synthesis of parameter-dependent controllers and observers for the Vlasov--Maxwell system. The linearized dynamics are modeled as a non-autonomous evolution system whose generators depend on measurable plasma quantities. Well-posedness of the associated evolution family is established together with uniform growth bounds. Parameter-dependent Lyapunov operators yield operator differential LMIs ensuring uniform exponential stability and observer convergence. An $H_\infty$ extension provides disturbance attenuation conditions consistent with the intrinsic energy structure of the coupled Vlasov--Maxwell equations. Galerkin projections lead to finite-dimensional LMIs consistent with the operator inequalities, enabling reliable numerical synthesis while preserving the analytical structure of the original model. Numerical results on a reduced Vlasov--Maxwell benchmark confirm the predicted convergence properties.
