A Timoshenko beam equation with boundary feedback control is
considered. By an abstract result on the Riesz basis generation
for the discrete operators in the Hilbert spaces, we show that
the closed-loop system is a Riesz system, that is, the sequence
of generalized eigenvectors of the closed-loop system forms a
Riesz basis in the state Hilbert space.
