Abstract

In this paper, we extend a classical approach to linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control via Popov operators to abstract linear differential-algebraic equations (ADAEs) in Hilbert spaces. To ensure existence of solutions, we assume that the underlying differential-algebraic equation has index one in the pseudo-resolvent sense. This leads to the existence of a degenerate semigroup that can be used to define a Popov operator for our system. It is shown that under a suitable coercivity assumption for the Popov operator the optimal costs can be described by a bounded Riccati operator and that the optimal control input is of feedback form. Furthermore, we characterize exponential stability of ADAEs which is required to solve the infinite horizon LQ problem.
