Input-to-state stability in integral norms for linear infinite-dimensional systems

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 characterised 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 characterisation 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.
