Laplace-Carleson embeddings and infinity-norm admissibility

A full characterization of the boundedness of Laplace--Carleson embeddings on $L^\infty$ 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.
