Impedance passive and conservative boundary control systems (Q998127): Difference between revisions

The external Cayley transform is used for the conversion between the linear dynamical systems in scattering form and in impedance form. This transformation is used to define a class of formal impedance conservative boundary control systems (colligations), without assuming a priori that the associated Cauchy problems are solvable. Sufficient and necessary conditions are developed guaranteeing that impedance conservative colligations are internally well-posed boundary nodes, that is, the associated Cauchy problems are solvable and governed by \(C_0\)-semigroups. Further, a ``strong'' variant of colligations is defined and it is shown that ``strong'' impedance conservative boundary colligations are a slight generalization of the ``abstract boundary space'' construction for symmetric operators. Examples, involving the transmission line and the wave equations, are illustrating the obtained results.
