An abstract approximation framework is developed for the finite and infinite horizon discrete-time linear-quadratic regulator problems for systems whose state dynamics are described by a linear semigroup of operators on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. The schemes included in the framework yield finite-dimensional approximations to the linear state feedback gains which determine the optimal control law. Convergence arguments are given. Examples involving hereditary and parabolic systems and the vibration of a flexible beam are considered. Spline-based finite element schemes for these classes of problems, together with numerical results, are presented and discussed.
