Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the Hautus test for evolution equation with the operators depending on time.
1 Introduction
Controllability and observability are basis concepts in system theory and control theory. They are important structural properties which have close relationships with the stability of state feedback controllers abd state observers. In this paper, we will study the controllability, the observabilty, the duality between these two concepts for the non autonomous linear system. These properties were studied well for the autonomous system. Let be a Hilbert space. Considering the evolution family of two variables generating by the family of operators : . Let be another Hilbert space and suppose is a linear operator. We consider the system :
[TABLE]
For simplicity, we denote the above system as . We always assume that the family of operator is bounded from . The solution is defined as
[TABLE]
Definition 1.1**.**
A family operators is called an evolution family if it satisfies the following conditions :
(i) for all and ;
(ii) for all Such an evolution family is called continous if there exist such that
(iii)
(iv) is jointly continuous with respect to and
Definition 1.2**.**
The system (1.1) is said to be exactly controllable at time if for every in , there exist such that the solution satisfy
Definition 1.3**.**
The system (1.1) is said to be exactly null controllable at time if for every in , there exist such that the solution satisfy
Definition 1.4**.**
The system (1.1) is said to be observable in if the map is injective.
The definition express the fact that we can recover uniquely the initial state from a knowledge of the output in the time interval . When the system is observable, we refer to as an observable pair. For one variable fixed, generate a strongly continuous semigroup . We assume that the domaine is densed in and independent of . We consider the adjoint system
[TABLE]
Russell and Weiss ([5]) showed that a necessary condition for exact observability of exponentially systems is the following Hautus test : There exits a constant such that for every and every . The Hautus test can be use for approximate observability of exponentially stable systems [3], for polynomially stable system [4], for exact observability of strongly stable Riesz-spectral systems with finite dimensional output spaces [5], and for exponentially stable groups [6]

2 Duality of controllability and observability
Let be such that the uncontrolled initial value problem
[TABLE]
admits a evolution (solution) family . We observe that
[TABLE]
and so, dividing by and letting ,
[TABLE]
Under mild extra conditions, this derivative will exist in both directions. Now we take adjoints:
[TABLE]
This holds for all , so we may drop duality pairing and obtain that will solve the dual final time problem
[TABLE]
2.1 Duality
Now consider
[TABLE]
and assume, that the map defined by is continuous (i.e. that is an admissible family of control operators for the evolution equation). Assume further exact controllability, i.e. that for any , we can find some such that the solution of the initial value problem (2.7) satisfies . Then is bounded and surjective.
and so .
According to the “standard lemma”, is surjective iff allows lower estimates, i.e. iff
[TABLE]
slow solution “a la main”
By the open mapping theorem we then have a constant such that . We can therefore simply let in (2.2), and consider
[TABLE]
Integrating from [math] to (recall ), one obtains
[TABLE]
Now, by Cauchy-Schwarz and the hypothesis
[TABLE]
Dividing by , this gives the “observability estimate” of the adjoint problem (2.2), that is, the estimate
[TABLE]
For the converse direction we assume (2.6), i.e. exact observability of the dual system. We aim to obtain surjectivity of .
Theorem 2.1**.**
The system is exactly controllable on if and only if there exists such that for all , we have
[TABLE]
For the converse, we define the controllability Gramian as be the operator depending on . Now assuming that \|z_{\tau}\|_{H}\leq C\Bigl{(}\int_{0}^{\tau}\|B(s)^{*}z(s)\|_{H}^{2}\,ds\Bigr{)}. We have
[TABLE]
Or
[TABLE]
Hence, we conclude that is self-adjoint, injective and coercive operator. Then is boundedly invertible. Hence, Im . This implies Im because Im Im. This indicates the controllability of the initial system
2.2 Necessary condition
If we take be the function of two variables with . Then
[TABLE]
Now if we take the integral from [math] to with respected to the variable , we have: The controllability is the unique solution of the equation
[TABLE]
Noting that the operator . We assume that is not invertible. Since, , there exists the sequence such that and . It follows that
[TABLE]
We also have a noting that the control function and the out put function satisfy the following
[TABLE]
2.3 Null controllability
The system
[TABLE]
is exactly null controllable on if for all , we can find such that
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
We define the operator and .
Lemma 2.2**.**
*( see [6]) Suppose that are Hilbert spaces, the operators and . Then the following statements are equivalent:
(a)
(b) There exists a such that for all
(c) There exist an operator such that *
We will assume that are uniformly bounded for , and = 0. Then by [1] (Theorem 8.1, chapter 5.8) there exists constant and such that
[TABLE]
Hence the operator is a bounded operator from
Lemma 2.3**.**
The operator is bounded linear map from
Proof.
We have:
[TABLE]
∎
Since are bounded operator, using the lemma there exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
By computation: and . Then we obtain the inequality:
[TABLE]
2.4 Minimum cost controls
We have . It is easy to check that the control satisfies the equation.
We will indicate that takes the minimum-norm. Suppoing that both and satisfy the equation. Then we have
[TABLE]
For all , we have
[TABLE]
If we choose , then
[TABLE]
This impiles . In fact,
[TABLE]
3 The Hautus test
Observe that
[TABLE]
and so, integrating on ,
[TABLE]
If we have exact observability, i.e. , this gives
[TABLE]
However, for of norm one, using admissibility (!) of for ,
[TABLE]
we obtain the Hautus condition,
[TABLE]
as a necessry condition for exact observability. Remark: in case this collapses down to the Hautus test of Russell-Weiss.
Remark 3.1**.**
If for all , we do not know whether we have “IFF” as in the autonomous case.
3.0.1 The sufficient condition
We consider the case when . Supposing that is admissible operator and satisfy the inequality :
[TABLE]
Here we assume , and uniformly stable. If , we use
[TABLE]
even it is still true for . We have the following theorem
Theorem 3.2**.**
(Alan’s) Let be an operator-valued function analytic in an open set . If is left (resp.right) invertible for every m then there is an analytic operator function such that
[TABLE]
Proof.
see (?) ∎
Lemma 3.3**.**
If we have . There exist a subset such that and
Proof.
By using contradiction, it is easy to verify. ∎
Due to the lemma, there exist a non-null set such that for all and , we have
[TABLE]
We have the map is left-invertible for and . Hence there exists the analytic functions and satisfying the equation
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Intergating both sides we get
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Then the map is left-invertible. Now we suppose that the system is not exactly observablem, then there exits a sequence such that and .
Theorem 3.4**.**
(Vitali’s theorem)

[TABLE]
on an open set . We have on the set with accumulation points. By the Vitali’s theoremm is uniformly convergent to on a compact subset of .
Hypothese 3.5**.**
The evolution family is holomorphic. If is bounded uniformly, could we infer that is holomorphic.
Then there exists a subsequence of functions such that uniformly on a compact subset of . The contour integral of at the point is defined as
[TABLE]
Differentiating for times at the point gives
[TABLE]
Since uniformly, uniformly, we have
[TABLE]
Theorem 3.6**.**
If is admissible and is boundedm then is bounded.
Proof.
First noting that, if is and -Holder function for then we have
[TABLE]
In fact, Let . We have
[TABLE]
Now let , we get the result. Now if we take then
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
By triangle inequality,
[TABLE]
By Cauchy-Swart inequality and use the fact that be a admissible operator, we have
[TABLE]
So, we have
[TABLE]
Hence, C is a bounded operator. ∎

for all . Then we have
[TABLE]
for all

Then
[TABLE]
∎
Theorem 4.2**.**
Suppose the operators is analytics in . Suppose that for all : is exactly observable. Then we have is also exactly observable.
Supposing that is exactly observable. We denote . We obtain the inequality
[TABLE]
By triangle inequality
[TABLE]
Therefore, we can refer that:
[TABLE]
The admissibility of observable operator means that for some , there exists such that for any ,
[TABLE]
Since is exactly observable,
[TABLE]
Finally, we obtain
[TABLE]
For all m there exists positive such that
[TABLE]
Moreover, the functions and are holormophic over the whole complex plane. So that, the map is left-invertible and entire.
Theorem 4.3**.**

[TABLE]
Then the map is left-invertible.
Now we suppose that the system is not exactly observable, i.e there does not exist such that
[TABLE]
for all , then there exists a sequence such that and where
Theorem 4.4**.**
(Vitali’s theorem)
Let be a sequence of functions, each regular in a region , let for every and in D, and let tend to a limit as at a set of points having a limit point inside . Then tends uniformly to a limit in any region bounded by a contour interior to , the limit therefore being an analytic function of .
[TABLE]
on an open set . We have on the set with accumulation points. By the Vitali’s theoremm is uniformly convergent to on a compact subset of .
Hypothese 4.5**.**
The evolution family is holomorphic. If is bounded uniformly, could we infer that is holomorphic.
Then there exists a subsequence of functions such that uniformly on a compact subset of . The contour integral of at the point is defined as

Differentiating for times at the point gives
[TABLE]
uniformly on . So that
[TABLE]
where when , and . Therefore, when . Using the estimation
[TABLE]
We finally obtain when . That is a contradiction because we already assumed that for all . As a result, the system is exact observable.
