Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the notion of boundary delay equations, establishing a unified framework for analyzing linear time-invariant systems with pure time-delayed boundary conditions. We establish mild sufficient conditions for the existence, uniqueness, and positivity of solutions. Furthermore, we derive spectral criteria for exponential stability. The conditions on the perturbation generalize well-known criteria for the generation of domain perturbations of positive semigroup generators. As an application, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the exponential stability of positive hyperbolic systems with time-delayed boundary conditions.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1981 by two of the pre-eminent control theorists, Roger Brockett and Jan Willems, Systems & Control Letters is one of the leading journals in the field of control theory. The aim of the journal is to allow dissemination of relatively concise but highly original contributions whose high initial quality enables a relatively rapid review process. All aspects of the fields of systems and control are covered, especially mathematically-oriented and theoretical papers that have a clear relevance to engineering, physical and biological sciences, and even economics. Application-oriented papers with sophisticated and rigorous mathematical elements are also welcome.
