Abstract

The dissipation obstacle refers to the problem that there is no general solution to shape the energy of dissipative port-Hamiltonian (pH) systems with the method of Casimir functions. This paper argues that it is caused by lack of a strictly symplectic structure of a dissipative port-Hamiltonian system. We develop a method of bicomplex pH systems that is strictly symplectic and we show how it overcomes the obstacle and allows one to systematically use Casimir functions to shape the energy.
