Robust stability of \(C_0\)-semigroups and an application to stability of delay equations (Q1268739): Difference between revisions

The authors define a stability radius for the generator of a \(C_{0}\)-semigroup with respect to given control and observation operators. They extend results by \textit{D. Hinrichsen} and \textit{A. J. Pritchard} [Syst. Control Lett. 8, 105-113 (1986; Zbl 0626.93054)] to Banach spaces and give an exact formula in the case of Hilbert spaces. This is applied to characterize exponential stability for equations with several discrete delays.
