A Mathematical Model for Active Control of Sound
Abstract:
A problem of eliminating the unwanted part of a time-harmonic wave field (noise) on a predetermined region of interest is solved by active means, i.e., by introducing the additional sources of field, called controls, that generate the appropriate annihilating signal (anti-sound). The general solution for controls is obtained using Calderon's boundary projections that render decomposition of a given wave field into its incoming and outgoing components on the perimeter of the protected domain. A theory fully analogous to that of Calderon's potentials and projections also exists for finite differences; and it is used for building the discrete active controls. Once the general solution for controls is available, it can be optimized using various criteria. The problems of minimizing the $L_1$ norm of the control sources, their $L_2$ norm, and the power consumption by the control system have been analyzed. Physical interpretations that can be associated with these three formulations appear to have relatively little in common, finding the respective minima requires noticeably dissimilar solution approaches, and the resulting optimal controls also happen to differ quite drastically from one another. Joint work with V. Ryaben'kii (Russian Ac. Sci.) and J. Loncaric (LANL).
