Linear quadratic control problem of delay differential equation

In this paper we are concerned with optimal control problems whose costs am quadratic and whose states are governed by linear delay equations and general boundary conditions. The basic new idea of this paper is to Introduce a new class of linear operators in such a way that the state equation subject to a starting function can be viewed as an inhomogeneous boundary value problem in the new linear operator equation. In this way we avoid the usual semigroup theory treatment to the problem and use only linear operator theory.
