We introduce the Favard spaces for resolvent families, extending some well-known theorems for semigroups. Furthermore, we show the relationship between these Favard spaces and the Lp-admissibility of control operators for scalar Volterra linear systems in Banach spaces, extending some results in [22]. Assuming that the kernel a(t) is a creep function which satisfies a(0+) > 0, we prove an analo...
