Abstract: A dynamical system is forward complete (FC) if its solutions are well-defined for all future times. If moreover solutions initialized in bounded sets and corresponding to bounded inputs remain uniformly bounded over bounded time-intervals, then it is said to have the bounded reachability sets (BRS) property, also called robust forward completeness (RFC). BRS is a bridge between the pure well-posedness theory (that studies existence and uniqueness) and the stability theory (which is interested in establishing certain bounds for solutions). For example, BRS is a crucial property to establish ISS superposition theorems. It is known that under standard assumptions, FC implies BRS for finite-dimensional systems, while this fails for infinite-dimensional ones. It was recently shown by J.L. Mancilla-Aguilar and H. Haimovich that the implication also fails in the case of time-delay systems with a finite number of delays. In this talk, we aim to show that the implication FC => BRS for time-delay systems actually heavily depends on the choice of the state space. In particular, we propose to consider the state space of essentially bounded functions (instead of the usual one of continuous functions). On this new state space, we prove that FC implies BRS, which raises the question of revisiting stability theory of time-delay systems in this state space.
