Recently, a predictor feedback control strategy has been reported for the feedback stabilization of a class of infinite-dimensional Riesz-spectral boundary control systems exhibiting a finite number of unstable modes by means of a delay boundary control. Nevertheless, for real abstract boundary control systems exhibiting eigenstructures defined over the complex field, the direct application of such a control strategy requires the embedding of the control problem into a complexified state-space which yields a complex-valued control law. This letter discusses the realification of the control law, i.e., the modification of the design procedure for obtaining a real-valued control law for the original real abstract boundary control system. The obtained results are applied to the feedback stabilization of an unstable Euler–Bernoulli beam by means of a delay boundary control.
