Abstract
To motivate the usefulness of developing a theory for linear infinite-dimensional systems, we present some simple examples of control systems which arise in spatial invariant systems, delay systems, and systems describe by partial differential equations. Furthermore, we discuss some system theory concepts for finite-dimensional systems. These concepts will be extended to infinite dimensions in the later chapters.
