Abstract

We consider those functions u∈L(a, b) which satisfy X′=Ax+Bu, where X satisfies certain prescribed interpolatory constraints. We show that there is a u with smallest sup norm and that such u are uniquely determined on a certain subset of [a, b]; more restrictions allow us to conclude that X is uniquely determined on this set. An extension is given to certain linear control systems on the real line.
