On a class of linear continuous-discrete systems with discrete memory

Abstract

A class of linear functional differential systems with continuous and discrete times and discrete memory is considered. An explicit representation of the principal components to the general solution representation such as the fundamental matrix and the Cauchy operator is derived. The obtained representation is given in terms of the system parameters and opens a way towards efficient studying general linear boundary value problems and control problems with respect to a fixed collection of linear on-target functionals. In the study of the problems mentioned above outside the class under consideration, the systems with discrete memory can be employed as model or approximating ones. This can be useful as applied to systems with aftereffect under studying rough properties that hold under small perturbations of the parameters.
