Abstract

In this monograph, we solve rather general linear, infinite-dimensional, time-invariant control problems, including the H∞ and LQR problems, in terms of algebraic Riccati equations and of spectral or coprime factorizations. We work in the class of (weakly regular) well-posed linear systems (WPLSs) in the sense of G. Weiss and D. Salamon.

Moreover, we develop the required theories, also of independent interest, on WPLSs, time-invariant operators, transfer and boundary functions, factorizations and Riccati equations. Finally, we present the corresponding theories and results also for discrete-time systems.
