Admissibility of retarded diagonal systems with one-dimensional input space (Q6097907)

The authors consider the abstract delay differential equation \[ \dot{z}(t) = A z(t) + A_1 z(t-\tau) + Bu(t),\quad z(0)=z_0, \] with \(A\) a closed, densely defined operator from \(D(A) \subset X\) to \(X\) and \(A_1\) a bounded operator on \(X\). After studying the existence and uniqueness of this differential equation for \(B=0\), the attention is turned to the case in which \(X\) is a Hilbert space, \(A, A_1\) and \(B\) are diagonal, and \(B \neq 0\). Admissibility of \(B\) is defined as the property that the inhomogeneous differential equation possesses a (unique) solution for every \(u \in L^2((0,t_1);U)\). Note that this always holds if \(B\) maps into \(X\). So the question is only of interest if \(B\) is unbounded (w.r.t.\ \(X\)). If \(A=\mathrm{diag}(\alpha_k+ \beta_k)\), and \(A_1=\mathrm{diag}(\gamma_k)\) with \(\alpha_k < \tau^{-1}\) and \(\gamma_k e^{i\beta_k}\) in a set defined by \(\tau\) and \(\alpha_k\), then \(B=\mathrm{diag}(b_k)\) is admissible if \(b_k\) is (weighted) square summable with a weight depending on \(\alpha_k,\beta_k\), and \(\gamma_k\). The paper ends with studying an example and the above theorem under an extra assumption. For instance, when \(a_k \rightarrow -\infty\), or when \(A=0\). In the later case the weight becomes simpler.
