This study presents an observer‐based output feedback compensator design for a linear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE), where a finite number of actuators and sensors are active over partial areas and at specified points in the spatial domain, respectively. In the proposed design method, a Luenberger‐type PDE observer is first constructed by using the non‐collocated pointwise observation to exponentially track the PDE state. Based on the estimated state, a collocated local piecewise state feedback controller is then proposed. By employing a Lyapunov direct method, integration by parts, Wirtinger's inequality and first mean value theorem for definite integrals, sufficient conditions on the exponential stability of the resulting closed‐loop coupled PDEs are presented in terms of standard linear matrix inequalities. Furthermore, both open‐loop and closed‐loop well‐posedness analysis results are also established by the C 0 ‐semigroup method. Numerical simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
