Title :
Spectral decomposition of Volterra integrodifferential equations with application to the control of a viscoelastic solid
Author_Institution :
Dept. of Math., Georgetown Univ., Washington, DC, USA
Abstract :
A spectral decomposition method is used to give a natural notion of controllability and holdability for systems with hidden variables which are not accessible to control instruments. As an example, a viscoelastic string of the Boltzmann type is examined
