Abstract
In this paper we study systems in which the system operator, A, has a Riesz basis of (generalized) eigenvectors. We show that this class is subset of the class of spectral operators as studied by Dunford and Schwartz. For these systems we investigate several system theoretic properties, like stability and controllability. We apply our theory to Euler-Bernoulli beam with structural damping
