Well-posedness of Linear Integro-Differential Equations with Operator-valued Kernels
We study linear integro-differential equations in Hilbert spaces with operator-valued kernels and give sufficient conditions for the well-posedness. We show that several types of integro-differential equations are covered by the class of evolutionary equations introduced in [R. Picard. A structural observation for linear material laws in classical mathematical physics. Math. Methods Appl. Sci., 32(14):1768-1803, 2009]. We therefore give criteria for the well-posedness within this framework. As an example we apply our results to the equations of visco-elasticity.
This paper proposes a new approach for delay-dependent robust H ∞ stability analysis and control synthesis of uncertain systems with time-varying delay. The key features of the approach include the introduction of a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, the construction of an augmented matrix with uncorrelated terms, and the employment of a tighter bounding technique. As a result, significant performance improvement is achieved in system analysis and synthesis without using either free weighting matrices or model transformation. Examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
