Input-to-state stability in integral norms for linear infinite-dimensional systems
Sahiba Arora, Andrii Mironchenko
TL;DR
The paper advances the theory of integral-to-integral ISS for linear infinite-dimensional systems by introducing $L^p$-$L^q$ admissibility for unbounded input operators and establishing that integral-ISS is governed by exponential stability plus infinite-time admissibility, with maximal regularity providing a precise analytic framework for $p=q$. It demonstrates a nuanced divergence between finite-time and infinite-time admissibility in general, but shows equivalences in analytic settings and provides Lyapunov methods—coercive for bounded inputs and non-coercive via fractional extrapolation—for both bounded and unbounded control. Through diagonal and diffusion examples, the authors illustrate how Lyapunov constructions yield $L^p$-$L^p$ or $L^q$-$L^q$ ISS, and they extend the approach to fractional Sobolev spaces to handle unbounded input operators. Overall, the work connects maximal regularity, semigroup stability, admissibility, and Lyapunov theory to deliver a comprehensive framework for ISS in integral norms with broad applicability to boundary-control systems and diffusion processes.
Abstract
We study integral-to-integral input-to-state stability for infinite-dimensional linear systems with inputs and trajectories in $L^p$-spaces. We start by developing the corresponding admissibility theory for linear systems with unbounded input operators. While input-to-state stability is typically characterized by exponential stability and finite-time admissibility, we show that this equivalence does not extend directly to integral norms. For analytic semigroups, we establish a precise characterization using maximal regularity theory. Additionally, we provide direct Lyapunov theorems and construct Lyapunov functions for $L^p$-$L^q$-ISS and demonstrate the results with examples, including diagonal systems and diffusion equations.
