Abstract
In order to motivate the usefulness of developing a theory for linear infinite-dimensional systems, we present some simple examples of control problems that arise for delay and distributed parameter (those described by partial differential equations) systems. These two special classes of infinite-dimensional systems occur most frequently in the applications.
