Explicit motion planning of a linearized Korteweg-de Vries equation with boundary control is achieved. The control is obtained through a “parametrization” of the trajectories of the system which is a generalization of the Brunovsky decomposition for finite-dimensional linear systems.
Keywords: boundary control, motion planning, Korteweg-de Vries equation, Brunovsky form, flatness, controllability
