Theorem
1.3.1
Naturally, the proof proceeds along two main steps, (i) and (ii) below.
(i) First, one studies the minimization problem inf,
J
holding
w
E
L2(0,00;
Y)
fixed. This is
a
standard, quadratic (strictly con-
vex) problem, which, for the present abstract class, can be studied
following the methods of
[2,
sects
4,
51:
one first studies the min-
imization in
u
over
a
finite time interval
[O,T],
characterizes here
the optimal solution, and then considers the limit process as
T
1
00,
as in
[2,
sect
41.
Now, however, due to the presence of
w,
it is
technically important to adapt to present circumstances, the idea of
“decoupling” (expressed by Eq.
(15)
below) between the known case
w
3
0,
and
a
convenient formulation of the case
w
#
0,
see
(19).
As
a
result of
a
technical treatment
[6],
one culminates the limit process
T

with the following formulas

in

(16)
where
{u:,,,(-
;yo),y~,,(- ;yo)}
is
the unique optimal pair of the
inf J-process in
u,
holding
w
fixed. In Eq.
(16),
Po,,
is the unique
Algebraic Riccati operator corresponding to the case
w

0,
and
guaranteed by
[2]
via the Finite Cost Condition and the Detectabil-
ity Condition. Thus,
Po,m
is
a
bounded, nonnegative self-adjoint
operator in
Y,
and
is the generator of
a

A key feature of the function
