Synopsis

A Ljapunov equation XL − BX = C appears in stabilisation studies of linear systems. Here, the operators L, B, and C are given linear operators working in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, which are derived from a specific control system. We have so far considered the case where L is a general elliptic operator of order 2 in a bounded domain of an Euclidean space. When L is instead a self-adjoint elliptic operator working in an interval of ℝ1, we derive here a stronger geometrical character of the solution X to the Ljapunov equation. The result is applied to stabilisation of one-dimensional diffusion equations.
