On Controllability for Heat Conduction with Delay

Michael Pokojovy^*

We discuss controllability for abstract delay differential equations of the form \begin{equation} \begin{split} x_{t}(t) &= A_{1} x(t) + A_{2} x(t - \tau) + B_{1} u(t) + B_{2} u(t - \tau) \text{ for } t \in [0, T], \\ x(0) &= u^{0}, \\ x(t) &= \varphi(t) \text{ for } t \in [-\tau, 0], \end{split} \notag \end{equation} where $A_{1}$ is a linear operator with a maximal $L^{p}$-regularity on a Banach space $X$ and $A_{2}$ is no lower order perturbation of $A_{1}$. The theory will then be applied to a regularized delay heat equation.
