A control problem for Burgers' equation

Burgers' equation is a one-dimensional simple model for convection-diffusion phenomena such as shock waves, supersonic flow about airfoils, traffic flows, acoustic transmission, etc. For high Reynolds number, the open-loop system (no control) produces steep gradients due to the nonlinear nature...
