We discuss the approximate controllability of semilinear fractional neutral differential systems with infinite delay under the assumptions that the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable. Using Krasnoselkii’s fixed-point theorem, fractional calculus, and methods of controllability theory, a new set of sufficient conditions for approximate controllability of fractional neutral differential equations with infinite delay are formulated and proved. The results of the paper are generalization and continuation of the recent results on this issue. 1. Introduction and Preliminaries Many social, physical, biological and engineering problems can be described by fractional partial differential equations. In fact, fractional differential equations are considered as an alternative model to nonlinear differential equations. In the last two decades, fractional differential equations (see, e.g., Samko et al. [1] and references therein) have attracted many scientists, and notable contributions have been made to both theory and applications of fractional differential equations. Nowadays, controllability theory for linear systems has already been well established, for finite and infinite dimensional systems; see, for instance, [2]. Several authors have extended these concepts to infinite-dimensional systems represented by nonlinear evolution equations in infinitedimensional spaces, see [3–30]. On the other hand, approximate controllability problems for fractional evolution equations in Hilbert spaces are not yet sufficiently investigated, and there are only few works on it [13–21, 28–30]. So far, the overwhelming majority of the approximate controllability results have only been available for semilinear evolution differential systems in Hilbert spaces, with the exception of the case of [11]. Motivated by the fact that many partial fractional differential equations can be converted into fractional PDE in some Banach spaces, we consider that there is a realistic need to discuss the approximate controllability problem of fractional-order differential systems in Banach spaces. Note that our results are new even for the approximate controllability of fractional neutral differential equations with infinite delay in Hilbert spaces. Consider the following fractional neutral evolution differential system with infinite delay: đđź [đĽ (đĄ) − â (đĄ, đĽđĄ )] = −đ´đĽ (đĄ) + đľđ˘ (đĄ) + đ (đĄ, đĽđĄ ) , đđĄđź đĄ ∈ [0, đ] , (1) đĽ (đĄ) = đ (đĄ) ∈ đľđ , where the state đĽ takes values in a Banach space đ and the control function takes values in a Hilbert space đ. The functions â, đ will be specified in the sequel. Let đĽđĄ (⋅) denote đĽđĄ (đ) = đĽ(đĄ + đ), đ ∈ (−∞, 0]. Assume that đ : (−∞, 0] → 0 (−∞, 0) is a continuous function satisfying đ = ∫−∞ đ(đĄ)đđĄ < ∞. The Banach space (đľđ , â ⋅ âđ ) induced by function â is defined as follows: { { { { { đľđ := { { { { { { đ : (−∞, 0] ół¨→ đ : for any đ > 0, } } đ (đ) is a bounded and measurable } } } function on [−đ, 0] , } 0 } } óľŠ óľŠ } and ∫ đ (đĄ) sup óľŠóľŠóľŠđ (đ)óľŠóľŠóľŠ đđĄ < ∞ } −∞ đĄ≤đ≤0 } (2) 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis 0 endowed with the norm âđâđľđ := ∫−∞ â(đĄ)supđĄ≤đ≤0 âđ(đ)âđđĄ. It should be mentioned that (approximate) controllability results for first- and second-order partial neutral functional differential equations with infinite delay were considered by Sakthivel et al. [18], Chalishajar [8], and Chalishajar and Acharya [9]. Throughout this paper, unless otherwise specified, the following notations will be used. Let (đ, â ⋅ â) be a separable reflexive Banach space, and let (đ∗ , â ⋅ â∗ ) stand for its dual space with respect to the continuous pairing â¨⋅, ⋅âŠ. We may assume, without loss of generality, that đ and đ∗ are smooth and strictly convex, by virtue of renorming theorem (see, e.g., [10]). In particular, this implies that the duality mapping đ˝ of đ into đ∗ given by the following relations: â¨đ˝ (đ§) , đ§âŠ = âđ§â2 , âđ˝ (đ§)â∗ = âđ§â , ∀đ§ ∈ đ (3) is bijective, homogeneous, and demicontinuous, that is, continuous from đ with a strong topology into đ∗ with weak topology and strictly monotonic. Moreover, đ˝−1 : đ∗ → đ is also duality mapping. In this paper, we also assume that −đ´ : đˇ(đ´) ⊂ đ → đ is the infinitesimal generator of a compact analytic semigroup đ(đĄ), đĄ > 0, of uniformly bounded linear operator in đ, that is, there exists đ > 1 such that âđ(đĄ)âđż(đ) ≤ đ for all đĄ ≥ 0. Without loss of generality, let 0 ∈ đ(đ´), where đ(đ´) is the resolvent set of đ´. Then, for any đ˝ > 0, we can define đ´−đ˝ by đ´−đ˝ := From Lemma 1(iv), since đ´−đ˝ is a bounded linear operator for 0 ≤ đ˝ ≤ 1, there exists a constant đśđ˝ such that âđ´−đ˝ â ≤ đśđ˝ for 0 ≤ đ˝ ≤ 1. Let us recall the following known definitions in fractional calculus. For more details, see [1]. Definition 2. The fractional integral of order đź > 0 with the lower limit 0 for a function đ is defined as đźđź đ (đĄ) = đĄ > 0, đź > 0, (6) provided that the right-hand side is pointwise defined on [0, ∞), where Γ is the gamma function. Definition 3. Riemann-Liouville derivative of order đź with the lower limit 0 for a function đ : [0, ∞) → đ can be written as đż đˇđź đ (đĄ) = đ (đ ) đđ đĄ 1 đđ , ∫ Γ (đ − đź) đđĄđ 0 (đĄ − đ )đź+1−đ (7) đĄ > 0, đ − 1 < đź < đ, Definition 4. The Caputo derivative of order đź for a function đ : [0, ∞) → đ can be written as đ ∞ 1 ∫ đĄđ˝−1 đ (đĄ) đđĄ. Γ (đ˝) 0 đĄ đ (đ ) 1 đđ , ∫ Γ (đź) 0 (đĄ − đ )1−đź đ−1 đ đĄ (đ) đ (0)) , đ! đ=0 đˇđź đ (đĄ) = đż đˇđź (đ (đĄ) − ∑ (4) (8) đĄ > 0, đ − 1 < đź < đ. −đ˝ It follows that each đ´ is an injective continuous endomor−1 phism of đ. Hence, we can define đ´đ˝ := (đ´−đ˝ ) , which is a closed bijective linear operator in đ. It can be shown that each đ´đ˝ has dense domain and that đˇ(đ´đž ) ⊂ đˇ(đ´đ˝ ) for 0 ≤ đ˝ ≤ đž. Moreover, đ´đ˝+đž đĽ = đ´đ˝ đ´đž đĽ = đ´đž đ´đ˝ đĽ for every đ˝, đž ∈ đ and đĽ ∈ đˇ(đ´đ ) with đ := max(đ˝, đž, đ˝ + đž), where đ´0 = đź and đź is the identity in đ. We denote by đđ˝ the Banach space of đˇ(đ´đ˝ ) equipped with norm âđĽâđ˝ := âđ´đ˝ đĽâ for đĽ ∈ đˇ(đ´đ˝ ), which is equivalent to the graph norm of đ´đ˝ . Then, we have đđž ół¨ → đđ˝ , for 0 ≤ đ˝ ≤ đž (with đ0 = đ ), and the embedding is continuous. Moreover, đ´đ˝ has the following basic properties. Lemma 1 (see [31]). đ´đ˝ has the following properties: đ˝ ∞ Sđź (đĄ) = ∫ Ψđź (đ) đ (đĄđź đ) đđ, 0 đź Ađź (đĄ) = đź ∫ đΨđź (đ) đ (đĄ đ) đđ, 0 where Ψđź (đ) = Γ (đđź + 1) 1 ∞ ∑ (−1)đ−1 sin (đđđź) , đđź đ=1 đ! đ ∈ (0, ∞) , is the function of Wright type defined on (0, ∞) which satisfies đ˝ (ii) đ´ đ(đĄ)đĽ = đ(đĄ)đ´ đĽ for each đĽ ∈ đˇ(đ´ ) and đĄ ≥ 0.

The following lemma follows from the results in [32–34]. Abstract and Applied Analysis 3 Lemma 5. The operators Sđź and Ađź have the following properties: (i) for any fixed đĄ ≥ 0 and any đĽ ∈ đđ˝ , one has the operators Sđź (đĄ) and Ađź (đĄ) which are linear and bounded operators; that is, for any đĽ ∈ đđ˝ , óľŠóľŠ óľŠ óľŠóľŠSđź (đĄ) đĽóľŠóľŠóľŠđ˝ ≤ đâđĽâđ˝ , (H2 ) The function đ : [0, đ] × đľđ → đ is continuous, and there exists some constant đđ > 0, 0 < đ˝ < 1, such that đ is đđ˝ -valued and óľŠóľŠ đ˝ óľŠ óľŠóľŠđ´ đ (đĄ, đĽ) − đ´đ˝ đ (đĄ, đŚ)óľŠóľŠóľŠ ≤ đđ óľŠóľŠóľŠóľŠđĽ − đŚóľŠóľŠóľŠóľŠđľ , óľŠ óľŠ đ đĽ, đŚ ∈ đľđ , đĄ ∈ [0, đ] , đ óľŠóľŠ óľŠ âđĽâđ˝ ; (12) óľŠóľŠAđź (đĄ) đĽóľŠóľŠóľŠđ˝ ≤ Γ (đź) (ii) the operators Sđź (đĄ) and Ađź (đĄ) are strongly continuous for all đĄ ≥ 0; (iii) Sđź (đĄ) and Ađź (đĄ) are norm continuous in đ for đĄ > 0; óľŠ óľŠóľŠ đ˝ óľŠóľŠđ´ đ (đĄ, đĽ)óľŠóľŠóľŠ ≤ đđ (1 + âđĽâđľđ ) . óľŠ óľŠ (H3 ) The function đ : [0, đ] × đľđ → đ satisfies the following: (a) đ(đĄ, ⋅) : đľđ → đ is continuous for each đĄ ∈ [0, đ] and for each đĽ ∈ đľđ , đ(⋅, đĽ) : [0, đ] → đ is strongly measurable; (b) there is a positive integrable function đ ∈ đż∞ ([0, đ], [0, +∞)) and a continuous nondecreasing function Λ đ : [0, ∞) → (0, ∞) such that for every (đĄ, đĽ) ∈ [0, đ] × đľđ , we have (iv) Sđź (đĄ) and Ađź (đĄ) are compact operators in đ for đĄ > 0; (v) for every đĄ > 0, the restriction of Sđź (đĄ) to đđ˝ and the restriction of Ađź (đĄ) to đđ˝ are norm continuous; (vi) for every đĄ > 0, the restriction of Sđź (đĄ) to đđ˝ and the restriction of Ađź (đĄ) to đđ˝ are compact operators in đđ˝ ; (vii) for all đĽ ∈ đ and đĄ ∈ [0, đ], óľŠóľŠ đ˝ óľŠ óľŠóľŠđ´ Ađź (đĄ) đĽóľŠóľŠóľŠ ≤ đśđ˝ đĄ−đźđ˝ âđĽâ , óľŠ óľŠ đśđ˝ := đđ˝ đźΓ (2 − đ˝) . Γ (1 + đź (1 − đ˝)) (13) In this paper, we adopt the following definition of mild solution of (1). Definition 6. A solution đĽ(⋅; đ˘) ∈ đś([0, đ], đ) is said to be a mild solution of (1) if for any đ˘ ∈ đż 2 ([0, đ], đ) the integral equation đĽ (đĄ) = Sđź (đĄ) (đ (0) + đ (0, đ)) − đ (đĄ, đĽđĄ ) óľŠ óľŠóľŠ óľŠóľŠđ (đĄ, đĽ)óľŠóľŠóľŠ ≤ đ (đĄ) Λ đ (âđĽâđľđ ) , 0 đĄ 0 is satisfied. Let đĽ(đ; đ˘) be the state value of (14) at terminal time đ corresponding to the control đ˘. Introduce the set R(đ) = {đĽ(đ; đ˘) : đ˘ ∈ đż 2 ([0, đ], đ)}, which is called the reachable set of the system (14) at terminal time đ, and its closure in đ is denoted by R(đ). Definition 7. The system (1) is said to be approximately controllable on [0, đ] if R(đ) = đ; that is, given an arbitrary đ > 0, it is possible to steer from the point đĽ0 to within a distance đ from all points in the state space đ at time đ. To investigate the approximate controllability of the system (14), we assume the following conditions. (H1 ) đ´ is the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup of bounded linear operators đ(đĄ) in đ, 0 ∈ đ(đ´), đ(đĄ) is compact for đĄ > 0, and there exists a positive constant đ such that âđ(đĄ)â ≤ đ.

Existence Theorem In order to formulate the controllability problem in the form suitable for application of fixed-point theorem, it is assumed that the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable. Then, it will be shown that the system (1) is approximately controllable if for all đ > 0 there exists a continuous function đĽ ∈ đś([0, đ], đ) such that −1 đ˘đ (đĄ, đĽ) = (đ − đĄ)đź−1 đľ∗ A∗đź (đ − đĄ) đ˝ ((đđź + Γ0đ đ˝) đ (đĽ)) , It will be shown that for all đ > 0, the operator Φđ : đśđ → đśđ has a fixed point.

Having noticed this fact, our goal in this section is to find conditions for solvability of (23). Note that it will be shown that the control in (23) drives the system (1) from đ(0) to −1 (25) provided that the system (23) has a solution. Theorem 9.

For each positive number đ > 0, set (23) đ (27) đĄ ∈ (−∞, 0] , đĄ ∈ [0, đ] . (31) đĄ ∈ (−∞, 0] đĄ ∈ [0, đ] . (26) Obviously, the operator Φđ has a fixed point if and only if operator Πđ + Θđ has a fixed point. In order to prove that Πđ + Θđ has a fixed point we will employ the Krasnoselskii’s fixed-point theorem. Lemma 10.

Theorem 18 assumes that the operator đ´ generates a compact semigroup. If the compactness condition holds on the bounded operator that maps the control function or the generated đś0 -semigroup, then the controllability operator đżđ0 is also compact, and its inverse does not exist if the state space is infinite dimensional, and, consequently, the associated linear control system (53) is not exactly controllable. Therefore, the concept of complete controllability is too strong in infinite dimensional spaces, and the approximate controllability notion is more appropriate. Thus, Theorem 18 has no analogue for the concept of complete controllability. 4. Applications In this section, we illustrate the obtained result. Let đ = đż 2 [0, đ], and let đ´ be defined as follows: đ´đ§ = −đ§ó¸ ó¸ (69) đ đđź [đĽ đ) + đ (đ, đ) đĽ (đĄ, đ) dđ] ∫ (đĄ, đđĄđź 0 = đ2 đĽ (đĄ, đ) + đ (đĄ, đĽ (đĄ, đ)) + đľđ˘ (đĄ, đ) , đđ2 đĽ (đĄ, 0) = đĽ (đĄ, đ) = 0, đĽ (0, đ) = đ (đ) , (72) đĄ ≥ 0, 0 ≤ đ ≤ đ, where đ : [0, đ]×đ → đ is continuous functions. đľ is a linear 2 continuous mapping from đ = {đ˘ = ∑∞ đ=2 đ˘đ đđ | âđ˘âđ := ∞ 2 ∑đ=2 đ˘đ < ∞} to đ as follows: ∞ đľđ˘ = 2đ˘2 + ∑ đ˘đ đđ . (73) đ=2 To write the initial-boundary value problem (72) in the abstract form, we assume the following. (A1) The function đ is measurable and đ đ 0 0 ∫ ∫ đ2 (đ, đ) dđ dđ < ∞. (74) (A2) The function (đ/đđ)đ(đ, đ) is measurable, đ(đ, 0) = đ(đ, đ) = 0, and let 1/2 2 đ đż 1 = [∫ ∫ ( đ (đ, đ)) dđ dđ] đđ 0 0 đ đ . (75) Define đ, đ : [0, đ] × đ → đ by đ with domain đ (đĽ) (đ) = ∫ đ (đ, đ) đĽ (đ) dđ, đđ§ đˇ (đ´) = {đ§ ∈ đ | đ§, are absolutely continuous, đđ đ2 đ§ ∈ đ and đ§ (0) = đ§ (đ) = 0} . đđ2 0 đ (đĄ, đĽ) (đ) = đ (đĄ, đĽ (đ)) . (70) Recall that đ´ is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup đ(đĄ), đĄ > 0, on đ which is analytic compact and self-adjoint, and the eigenvalues are −đ2 , đ ∈ đ, with corresponding normalized eigenvectors đđ (đ) := (2/đ)1/2 sin(đđ) and 2 đ (đĄ) đđ = đ−đ đĄ đđ , đ = 1, 2, . . . . Moreover, the following hold. (a) {đđ : đ ∈ đ} is an orthonormal basis of đ. 2 (b) If đ§ ∈ đˇ(đ´), then đ´(đ§) = ∑∞ đ=1 đ â¨đ§, đđ âŠđđ . (c) For đ§ ∈ H, đ´−1/2 đ§ = ∑∞ đ=1 (1/đ)â¨đ§, đđ âŠđđ . (76) (71) From (A1), it is clear that đ is bounded linear operator on đ. Furthermore, đ(đĽ) ∈ đˇ[đ´1/2 ], and âđ´1/2 đâ ≤ đż 1 . In fact, from the definition of đ and (A2), it follows that đ đ 0 0 â¨đ (đĽ) , đđ ⊠= ∫ [∫ đ (đ, đ) đĽ (đ) dđ] đđ (đ) dđ = đ đ 1 2 1/2 ( ) â¨∫ đ (đ, đ) đĽ (đ) dđ, cos (đđ)⊠đ đ 0 đđ = 1 2 1/2 ( ) â¨đ1 (đĽ) , cos (đđ)⊠, đ đ đ (77) where đ1 (đĽ) = ∫0 (đ/đđ)đ(đ, đ)đĽ(đ)dđ. From (A2), we know that đ1 : đ → đ is a bounded linear operator with âđ1 â ≤ đż 1 . Hence, âđ´1/2 đ(đĽ)â = âđ1 (đĽ)â, which implies the 10 Abstract and Applied Analysis assertion. Moreover, assume that đ and đ satisfy conditions of Theorem 18. Thus, the problem (72) can be written in the abstract form đđź (đĽ (đĄ) + đ (đĄ, đĽ (đĄ))) = đ´đĽ (đĄ) + đ (đĄ, đĽ (đĄ)) + đľđ˘ (đĄ) , đđĄđź đĽ (0) = đĽ0 , đĄ ∈ [0, đ] . (78) Now, consider the associated linear system đđź đĽ (đĄ) = đ´đĽ (đĄ) + đľđ˘ (đĄ) , đđĄđź đĽ (0) = đĽ0 , (79) đĄ ∈ [0, đ] . Show that it is approximately controllable on [0, đ] for 1/2 < đź < 1. It is easy to see that if đ§ = ∑∞ đ=1 â¨đ§, đđ âŠđđ , then ∞ đ=3 đľ A∗đź (đ − đ ) đ§ ∗ đź = đľ đź ∫ đΨđź (đ) đ ((đ − đ ) đ) đ§đđ 0 ∞ đź đź = đź∫ đΨđź (đ) ((2 â¨đ§, đ1 ⊠đ−(đ−đ ) đđ1 +â¨đ§, đ2 ⊠đ−4(đ−đ ) đ) đ2 0 ∞ đź 2 + ∑ đ−đ (đ−đ ) đ â¨đ§, đđ ⊠đđ) đđ đ=3 ∞ đź = (2 â¨đ§, đ1 ⊠đź ∫ đΨđź (đ) đ−(đ−đ ) đ đđ 0 ∞ đź + â¨đ§, đ2 ⊠đź ∫ đΨđź (đ) đ−4(đ−đ ) đ đđ) đ2 0 ∞ Acknowledgment References ∞ ∗ In this paper, abstract results concerning the approximate controllability of fractional semilinear evolution systems with infinite delay in a separable reflexive Banach space are obtained. Approximate controllability result for semilinear systems is obtained by means of the Krasnoselskii’s fixedpoint theorem under the compactness assumption. It is also proven that the controllability of the semilinear system is implied by the approximate controllability of the associated linear system under some natural conditions. Upon making some appropriate assumptions, by employing the ideas and techniques as in this paper, one can establish the approximate controllability results for a wide class of fractional deterministic and stochastic evolution equations.
