Diffusive realizations for solutions of some operator equations: The one-dimensional case

In this paper we deal with the derivation of state-realizations of linear operators that are solutions to certain operator linear differential equations in one-dimensional bounded domains. We develop two approaches in the framework of diffusive representations: one with complex diffusive symbols; the other with real diffusive symbols. Then, we illustrate the theories and develop numerical methods for a Lyapunov equation arising from optimal control theory of the heat equation. A practical purpose of this approach is real-time computation on a semi-decentralized architecture with low granularity.
