Abstract

We investigate two classes of time-varying well-posed linear systems. Starting from a time-invariant scattering-passive system, each of the time-varying systems is constructed by introducing a time-dependent inner product on the state space and modifying some of the generating operators. These classes of linear systems are motivated by physical examples such as the electromagnetic field around a moving object. To prove the well-posedness of these systems, we use the Lax-Phillips semigroup induced by a well-posed linear system, as in scattering theory.
