The purpose of this study is to control long time behaviour of solutions to some evolutionary partial differential equations posed on a finite interval by backstepping type controllers. At first we consider right endpoint feedback controller design problem for higher-order Schrödinger equation. The second problem is observer design problem, which has particular importance when measurement across the domain is not available. In this case, the sought after right endpoint control inputs involve state of the observer model. However, it is known that classical backstepping strategy fails for designing right endpoint controllers to higher order evolutionary equations. So regarding these controller and observer design problems, we modify the backstepping strategy in such a way that, the zero equilibrium to the associated closed-loop systems become exponentially stable. From the well-posedness point of view, this modification forces us to obtain a time-space regularity estimate which also requires to reveal some smoothing properties for some associated Cauchy problems and an initial-boundary value problem with inhomogeneous boundary conditions. As a third problem, we introduce a finite dimensional version of backstepping controller design for stabilizing infinite dimensional dissipative systems. More precisely, we design a boundary control input involving projection of the state onto a finite dimensional space, which is still capable of stabilizing zero equilibrium to the associated closed-loop system. Our approach is based on defining the backstepping transformation and introducing the associated target model in a novel way, which is inspired from the finite dimensional long time behaviour of dissipative systems. We apply our strategy in the case of reaction-diffusion equation. However, it serves only as a canonical example and our strategy can be applied to various kind of dissipative evolutionary PDEs and system of evolutionary PDEs. We also present several numerical simulations that support our theoretical results.
