Weak admissibility does not imply admissibility for analytic semigroups

Two conjectures on admissible control operators by George Weiss are disproved in this paper. One conjecture says that an operator $B$ defined on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $U$ is an admissible control operator if for every element $u \in U$ the vector $Bu$ defines an admissible control operator. The other conjecture says that $B$ is an admissible control operator if a certain resolvent estimate is satisfied. The examples given in this paper show that even for analytic semigroups the conjectures do not hold. In the last section we construct a semigroup example showing that the first estimate in the Hille-Yosida theorem is not sufficient to conclude boundedness of the semigroup.
