Laplace–Carleson embeddings and infinity-norm admissibility

Abstract A full characterization of the boundedness of Laplace–Carleson embeddings on $$L^\infty $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mi>∞</mml:mi> </mml:msup> </mml:math> is provided, in terms of the Carleson intensity of the respective measure and of a suitable weighted Berezin transform of the measure. Moreover, boundedness results, and in some cases full characterizations of boundedness, are proved for a large class of Orlicz spaces. These findings are crucial for characterizing admissibility of control operators for linear diagonal semigroup systems in a variety of contexts. A particular focus is laid on essentially bounded inputs.
