Infinite dimensional linear control systems the time optimal and norm optimal problems

For more than forty years, the equation y(t) = Ay(t) + u(t) in Banach spaces has been used as model for optimal control processes described by partial differential equations, in particular heat and diffusion processes. Many of the outstanding open problems, however, have remained open until recently...
