Abstract

We discuss a class of linear control problems in a Hilbert space setting. The aim is to show that these control problems fit in a particular class of evolutionary equations such that the discussion of well-posedness becomes easily accessible. Furthermore, we study the notion of conservativity. For this purpose we require additional regularity properties of the solution operator in order to allow point-wise evaluations of the solution. We exemplify our findings by a system with unbounded control and observation operators.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In this case

    is a continuous linear operator.

  2. 2.

    Note that in the fourth equality \(\langle \cdot | \cdot \rangle_{H_{0} (\sqrt{A_{0}}+\mathrm {i})}\) is used not as the inner product in \(H_{0} (\sqrt{A_{0}}+\mathrm {i})\) but as its continuous extension to the duality pairing between \(H_{-1} (\sqrt{A_{0}}+\mathrm {i})\) and \(H_{1} (\sqrt{A_{0}}+\mathrm {i})\). This will be utilized throughout without explicit mention.
