Abstract
In this article we derive uniform admissibility and observability properties for the finite element space semidiscretizations of ddot u+A 0 u=0 where A 0 is an unbounded selfadjoint positive definite operator with compact resolvent To address this problem we present a new spectral approach based on several spectral criteria for admissibility and observability of such systems Our approach provides very general admissibility and observability results for finite element approximation schemes of ddot u+A 0u =0 which stand in any dimension and for any regular mesh in the sense of finite elements Our results can be combined with previous works to derive admissibility and observability properties for full discretizations of ddot u+A 0 u=0 We also present applications of our results to controllability and stabilization problems
