New results on the operator Carleson measure criterion (Q3130040)

This paper is a continuation of a previous one by the authors [Syst. Control Lett. 16, 219-227 (1991; Zbl 0728.93047)]. Consider control systems of the form \(\dot x=Ax+Bu\) where \(A\) is the generator of a diagonal semigroup \(\mathbb{T}\) on \(l^2\) and \(B\) is an unbounded operator from a Hilbert space \(U\) to \(l^2\). We say that the infinite matrix \(B\), with rows \(b_k\), satisfies the operator Carleson measure criterion for the semigroup \(\mathbb{T}\) if \(b_k\in l^{2*}\) for any \(k\in\mathbb{N}\) and there is some \(M\geq 0\) such that, for any \(h+i\omega\) with \(h>0\), \[ \Bigl|\sum_{-\lambda_k\in R(h,\omega)} b_k^*b_k \Bigr|_{L(l^2)}\leq Mh \] where \(R(h,\omega)= \{z\in\mathbb{C}\mid 0<\text{Re }z\leq h\), \(\omega-h\leq\text{Im } z<\omega+h\}\) and \(\Lambda_k\) are the diagonal elements of \(A\). The authors show that the operator Carleson measure criterion is satisfied if and only if the input-to-state transfer function has a certain decay rate and that the results of the previous paper concerning the relationship between the operator Carleson measure criterion and admissibility for analytic or invertible semigroups can be extended to a more general class of diagonal semigroups. Some general results concerning Lyapunov equations and feedback-type perturbations are derived.
