Abstract

The asymptotic stability of boundary controlled port-Hamiltonian systems defined on a 1D spatial domain interconnected to a class of non-linear boundary damping is addressed. It is shown that if the port-Hamiltonian system is approximately observable, then any boundary damping which behaves linear for small velocities asymptotically stabilizes the system.
