Abstract

In this paper, we investigate well-posedness and stability properties of distributed parameter systems, with particular emphasis on linear positive control systems. We establish a characterization of the well-posedness in the Banach lattice setting. Furthermore, we derive a resolvent condition for admissibility of control operators for positive semigroups. In addition, we study the behavior of input-to-state stability (ISS) under unbounded perturbations of the underlying semigroup generator. More precisely, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the robustness of ISS under Desch-Schappacher perturbations. Our theoretical results are demonstrated through a boundary value-controlled transport equation with non-local boundary conditions.
