On the theory of functional-differential inclusions of neutral type.
In this paper we show that the set of all mild solutions of the Cauchy problem for a functional-differential inclusion in a separable Banach space E of the form x’(t) ∈ A(t)x(t) + F(t,xt) is an -set. Here A(t) is a family of linear operators and F is a Carathéodory type multifunction. We use the existence result proved by V. V. Obukhovskiĭ [22] and extend theorems on the structure of solutions sets obtained by N. S. Papageorgiou [23] and Ya. I. Umanskiĭ [32].
The existence, uniqueness and asymptotic stability of weak solutions of functional-differential abstract nonlocal Cauchy problems in a Banach space are studied. Methods of m-accretive operators and the Banach contraction theorem are applied.
The Linear-Quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem is studied for a class of first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation models by using a nonlinear infinite-dimensional (distributed parameter) Hilbert state-space description. First the dynamical properties of the linearized model around some equilibrium profile are studied. Next the LQ-feedback operator is computed by using the corresponding operator Riccati algebraic equation whose solution is obtained via a related matrix Riccati differential...
