Robustness of strong stability of semigroups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we study the preservation of strong stability of strongly continuous semigroups on Hilbert spaces. In particular, we study a situation where the generator of the semigroup has a finite number of spectral points on the imaginary axis and the norm of its resolvent operator is polynomially bounded near these points. We characterize classes of finite rank perturbations preserving the strong stability of the semigroup. In addition, we improve recent results on preservation of polynomial stability of a semigroup under finite rank perturbations of its generator. Theoretic results are illustrated with an example where we consider the preservation of the strong stability of a multiplication semigroup.


Robustness of strong stability of \(C_0\)-semigroups on Hilbert spaces under additive finite-rank perturbation is studied. Throughout this article, it is assumed that \(A\) generates a strongly stable \(C_0\)-semigroup \((T(t))_{t\geq 0}\) on a Hilbert space \(X\) with \(\sigma(A)\cap i\mathbb R=\{i\omega_k\}_{k=1,\dots,N}\) and the norm of its resolvent operator is polynomially bounded near these points. The first main result of this paper shows that, if \(B\in L(\mathbb C^p,X)\) and \(C\in L(X,\mathbb C^p)\) with \({\mathcal R}(B)\subset {\mathcal R}((i\omega_k-A)^\beta)\) and \({\mathcal R}(C^*)\subset {\mathcal R}((-i\omega_k-A^*)^\beta)\) for all \(k+1,\dots,N\) and some \(\beta+\gamma\) sufficiently large, and the graph norms \(\|B\|+\|(i\omega_k-A)^{-\beta}B\|\) and \(\|C\|+\|(-i\omega_k-A^*)^{-\gamma}C^*\|\) are sufficiently small, then the semigroup generated by \(A+BC\) is strongly stable. The second main result of this paper presents a similar perturbation result for polynomially stable \(C_0\)-semigroups. This improves the perturbation results concerning polynomially stability obtained by the author in [J. Funct. Anal. 263, No. 9, 2555--2583 (2012; Zbl 1263.47049); Syst. Control Lett. 62, No. 4, 331--337 (2013; Zbl 1261.93059)].
