This paper addresses the issue of approximate controllability for a class of control system which is represented by nonlinear fractional integrodifferential equations with nonlocal conditions. By using semigroup theory, p-mean continuity and fractional calculations, a set of sufficient conditions, are formulated and proved for the nonlinear fractional control systems. More precisely, the results are established under the assumption that the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable and functions satisfy nonLipschitz conditions. The results generalize and improve some known results. 1. Introduction In recent years, use theory of fractional calculus and fractional differential equations has gained importance and popularity due to its applications in various fields of science and engineering. Various physical phenomena in science and engineering can be successfully modeled by using fractional calculus theory. Due to its tremendous scope and applications, several papers have been devoted to study the existence of mild solutions of fractional differential equations (see [1– 4] and references therein). On the other hand, controllability is an important property of a control system which plays an important role in the analysis and design of control systems [5–8]. Most literatures in this direction so far have been concerned with controllability of nonlinear differential equations in infinite-dimensional spaces without fractional derivatives (see [9] and references therein). Using generalized open mapping theorem, a set of sufficient conditions for constrained local relative controllability near the origin are formulated and proved for the semilinear systems with delayed controls in [10, 11]. Recently, only few papers deal with the controllability of fractional dynamical systems [12–14]. Klamka [15, 16] derived a set of sufficient conditions for the local controllability of finite-dimensional fractional discrete-time semilinear systems. However, the problem of controllability for fractional systems has not been fully investigated, and there is still room open for further research in this area [17]. Moreover, the approximate controllable systems are more prevalent, and very often, approximate controllability is completely adequate in applications (see [18–21] and references therein). Therefore, it is important, in fact necessary, to study the weaker concept of controllability, namely, approximate controllability for nonlinear fractional integrodifferential systems. Motivated by this fact, in this paper, we consider the approximate controllability of the fractional nonlinear integrodifferential evolution equations with nonlocal initial condition in the following form: πΆ π·π π₯ (π‘) = −π΄π₯ (π‘) + π΅π’ (π‘) + π‘π π (π‘, π₯ (π‘) , (π»π₯) (π‘)) , π‘ ∈ π½ = [0, π] , π ∈ π+ , π ∈ (0, 1) , (1) π₯ (0) = π (π₯) + π₯0 ∈ ππΎ , where the state π₯(⋅) takes the values in a Hilbert space π, πΆ π π· denotes Caputo derivative, −π΄ : π·(π΄) → π is the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup {π(π‘), π‘ ≥ 0} on π; the control function π’(⋅) is given in πΏ2 (π½, π); π is a 2 Journal of Applied Mathematics Hilbert space; π΅ is a bounded linear operator from π into π; π the operator π» is defined by (π»π₯)(π‘) = ∫0 β(π‘, π , π₯(π ))ππ ; the nonlinear term π : π½ × ππΎ × ππΎ → π(or ππΎ ) is a given function, where here π½ = [0, π]; and ππΎ = π·(π΄πΎ ) (0 < πΎ < 1) is a Hilbert space with the norm βπ₯βπΎ = βπ΄πΎ π₯β for π₯ ∈ ππΎ . The functions π, β, and π will be specified later. In fact, our results in this paper are motivated by the recent work of [20], and the fractional integrodifferential equations are studied in [4]. The main objective of this paper is to derive conditions for the approximate controllability of (1) with non-Lipschitz coefficients, and the associated linear system is approximately controllable. 2. Preliminaries In this section, we provide definitions, lemmas, and notations necessary to establish our main results [4]. Let βπβπΏπ (π½,π + ) denote the πΏπ (π½, π + ) norm of π whenever π ∈ πΏπ (π½, π + ) for some π with 1 < π < ∞. Let CπΎ denote the Banach space πΆ(π½, ππΎ ) endowed with sup norm given by βπ₯β∞ ≡ supπ‘∈π½ βπ₯βπΎ , for π₯ ∈ CπΎ , πΎ ∈ (0, 1). Let us recall the following known results. The fractional integral of order π½ with the lower limit 0 for a function π is defined as πΌπ½ π (π‘) = π‘ π (π ) 1 ππ , ∫ Γ (π½) 0 (π‘ − π )1−π½ π‘ > 0, π½ > 0, π·π½ π (π‘) = π (π ) ππ π‘ 1 ππ , ∫ π Γ (π − π½) ππ‘ 0 (π‘ − π )π½+1−π π‘ > 0, (3) The Caputo derivative of order π½ for a function π : [0, ∞) → π can be written as π−1 π π‘ (π) π (0)) , π! π=0 π‘ > 0, (4) π − 1 < π½ < π. π‘ ππ (π ) 1 ππ = πΌπ−π½ ππ (π ) , ∫ Γ (π − π½) 0 (π‘ − π )π½+1−π π‘ > 0, + ∫ (π‘ − π )π−1 π π S (π‘ − π ) π (π , π₯ (π ) , (π»π₯) (π )) ππ , 0 π‘ ∈ π½, (6) ∞ ∞ where T(π‘) = ∫0 ππ (π)π(π‘π π)ππ, S(π‘) = π ∫0 πππ (π)π(π‘π π)ππ, ππ (π) = (1/π)π−1−1/π π€π (π−1/π ) ≥ 0, π€π (π) = (1/ π−1 −ππ−1 π) ∑∞ π (Γ(ππ + 1)/π!) sin(πππ), π ∈ (0, ∞), and π=1 (−1) ππ is a probability density function defined on (0, ∞); that is ∞ ππ (π) ≥ 0, π ∈ (0, ∞), and ∫0 ππ (π)ππ = 1. Definition 2. A function π₯(⋅; π₯0 , π’) ∈ πΆ(π½, ππΎ ) is said to be a mild solution of (1) if for any π’(⋅) ∈ πΏ2 (π½, π) the integral equation (6) is satisfied. Definition 3. The system (1) is said to be approximately controllable on the interval π½ if R(π, π₯0 ) = π, where R (π, π₯0 ) = {π₯π (π₯0 ; π’) (0) : π’ (⋅) ∈ πΏ2 (π½, π)} (7) is called the reachable set of system (1) at terminal time π, and its closure in π is denoted by R(π, π₯0 ); let π₯π (π₯0 ; π’) be the state value of (1) at terminal time π corresponding to the control π’ and the initial value π₯0 ∈ π. π π·π‘ π₯ (π‘) = π΄π₯ (π‘) + π΅π’ (π‘) , π‘ ∈ π½ = [0, π] , 0 < π < 1, π₯ (0) = π₯0 . π 0 (5) 0 ≤ π − 1 < π½ < π. (ii) The Caputo derivative of a constant is equal to zero. (iii) If π is an abstract function with values in π, then integrals which appear in the above results are taken in Bochner’s sense. For additional details concerning the fractional derivative, we refer the reader to [3]. (8) The approximate controllability for the system (8) is a natural generalization of approximate controllability for the linear first order control system (see [18]). It is convenient at this point to introduce the controllability operator associated with the linear system Γ0π = ∫ (π − π )π−1 S (π − π) π΅π΅∗ S∗ (π − π) ππ, Remark 1 (see [4]). (i) If π(π‘) ∈ πΆπ [0, ∞), then π·π½ π (π‘) = 0 π‘ Consider the following linear fractional differential control system π − 1 < π½ < π. π·π½ π (π‘) = πΏ π·π½ (π (π‘) − ∑ π‘ π₯ (π‘) = T (π‘) [π₯0 + π (π₯)] + ∫ (π‘ − π )π−1 S (π‘ − π ) π΅π’ (π ) ππ (2) provided the right-hand side is pointwise defined on [0, ∞), where Γ(⋅) is the gamma function. Riemann-Liouville derivative of order π½ with lower limit zero for a function π : [0, ∞) → π can be written as πΏ To define the mild solution for the control system (1), we associate problem (1) to the following integral equation [4]: (9) where π΅∗ denotes the adjoint of π΅ and S∗ (π‘) is the adjoint of S(π‘). It is straightforward that the operator Γ0π is a linear bounded operator. Let π (πΌ, Γ0π ) = (πΌπΌ + Γ0π )−1 for πΌ > 0. Lemma 4. The linear fractional control system (8) is approximately controllable on π½ if and only if πΌπ (πΌ, Γ0π ) → 0 as πΌ → 0+ in the strong operator topology. The proof of this lemma is a straightforward adaptation of the proof of Theorem 2 of [18]. Journal of Applied Mathematics 3 Lemma 5 (see [4]). For each π ∈ πΏπ (π½, π) with 1 ≤ π < π +∞, one has limβ → 0 ∫0 βπ(π‘ + β) − π(π‘ + β)βπ ππ‘ = 0, where π(π ) = 0 for π does not belong to π½. Lemma 6 (see [4]). The operators T and S have the following properties. (i) For fixed π‘ ≥ 0, T(π‘) and S(π‘) are linear and bounded operators. For any π₯ ∈ π, ππ βπ₯β . βS (π‘) π₯β ≤ Γ (π + 1) βT (π‘) π₯β ≤ π βπ₯β , (10) (ii) {T(π‘), π‘ ≥ 0} and {S(π‘), ≥ 0} are strongly continuous. (iii) For every π‘ > 0, T(π‘) and S(π‘) are also compact operators. (iv) For any π₯ ∈ π, π½ ∈ (0, 1), and πΎ ∈ (0, 1) one has π΄S (π‘) π₯ = π΄1−π½ S (π‘) π΄π½ π₯, where TπΎ (π‘) ∞ = π (π»6 ) The semigroup π(π‘) is compact. In order to prove the required result, for πΌ > 0, we define the operator πΉπΌ on πΆ(π½, ππΎ ) as 0 < π‘ ≤ π. (πΉπΌ π₯) (π‘) = π§ (π‘) , π‘ ππ βπ₯βπΎ .

Main Result In this section, we present our main result on approximate controllability of control system (1). We prove that under certain conditions, approximate controllability of the linear system (8) implies the approximate controllability of nonlinear fractional system (1). In order to establish the result, we require the following assumptions. (π»1 ) The function π : π½ × ππΎ × ππΎ → ππΎ is CaratheΜodory, and there exists a positive function π ∈ πΏπ (π½, π + ) for some π with 1 < π < ∞ such that βπ(π‘, π₯, π¦)βπΎ ≤ π(π‘) for all π₯, π¦ ∈ ππΎ and π‘ ∈ π½.

(15) where (vi) TπΎ (π‘) and SπΎ (π‘), π‘ > 0 are uniformly continuous; that is, for each fixed π‘ > 0 and π > 0, there exists β > 0 such that σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅©TπΎ (π‘ + π) − TπΎ (π‘)σ΅©σ΅©σ΅© < π, for π‘ + π ≥ 0, |π| < β, σ΅©πΎ σ΅© (13) σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅©SπΎ (π‘ + π) − SπΎ (π‘)σ΅©σ΅© < π, for π‘ + π ≥ 0, |π| < β, σ΅© σ΅©πΎ ∞ (π»5 ) The function π : π½×ππΎ ×ππΎ → ππΎ is continuous and uniformly bounded, and there exists π > 0 such that βπ(π‘, π₯, π¦)β ≤ π for all (π‘, π₯, π¦) ∈ π½ × ππΎ × ππΎ . (11) (v) For fixed π‘ ≥ 0 and any π₯ ∈ ππΎ , one has βS(π‘)π₯βπΎ ≤ (π»4 ) The linear fractional control system (8) is approximately controllable. π‘ ∈ π½, ππΎ πΓ (2 − πΎ) −πΎπ σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© πΎ π‘ , σ΅©σ΅©π΄ S (π‘)σ΅©σ΅©σ΅© ≤ Γ (1 + π (1 − πΎ)) βT (π‘) π₯βπΎ ≤ πβπ₯βπΎ , (π»3 ) The function β : π·β × ππΎ → ππΎ is continuous, and there exist πΏ 1 , πΏ 2 > 0 such that ββ(π‘, π , π₯) − β(π‘, π , π¦)βπΎ ≤ πΏ 1 βπ₯ − π¦βπΎ + πΏ 2 for each (π‘, π ) ∈ π·β = {(π‘, π ) ∈ π 2 , 0 ≤ π , π‘ ≤ π} and π₯, π¦ ∈ ππΎ . (14) Theorem 7. Under the conditions (π»1 ), (π»2 ), (π»3 ), and (π»6 ), the control system (1) admits a mild solution on [0, π], and here ππ΅ = βπ΅β and π1 = βπβπΏπ2 (π½,π + ) . Proof. The main aim in this section is to find conditions for solvability of systems (16) and (17) for πΌ > 0. In the Banach space πΆ(π½, ππΎ ), consider a set π΅π0 = {π₯ (⋅) ∈ πΆ (π½, ππΎ ) : βπ₯βπΎ ≤ π} , (18) where π is the positive constant. Now, it will be shown that, using Schauder’s fixed point theorem, for all πΌ > 0, the operator πΉπΌ : πΆ(π½, ππΎ ) → πΆ(π½, ππΎ ) has a fixed point. First, we prove that for an arbitrary πΌ > 0 and there is a positive constant π0 = π0 (πΌ) such that πΉπΌ : π΅π0 → π΅π0 . 4 Journal of Applied Mathematics Let π₯ ∈ π΅π0 , and then, for π‘ ∈ π½ and 1/π < π(⇒ (ππ−1)) > 0, using Holders inequality, Lemma 6, and conditions (π»1 ) and (π»2 ) in (17), we obtain σ΅© σ΅© βV (π‘)βπΎ ≤ σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©π΅∗ S∗ (π − π‘) π (πΌ, Γ0π )σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©σ΅© π ∈ (0, π‘), arbitrary πΏ > 0, and π₯ ∈ π΅π0 , we define the operator πΉπΌπ,πΏ by (πΉπΌπ,πΏ π₯) (π‘) = T [π₯0 + π (π₯)] σ΅© σ΅© σ΅© σ΅© × [σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©π₯π σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΎ − σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©T (π) [π₯0 + π (π₯)]σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΎ + π∫ π π‘−π 0 + ∫ (π − π )π−1 π π ∞ ∫ π(π‘ − π )π−1 ππ (π) π ((π‘ − π )π π) πΏ × π΅V (π ) ππ ππ 0 σ΅© σ΅© × σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©S (π − π ) π (π , π₯ (π ) , (π»π₯) (π ))σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΎ ππ ] ≤ + π∫ 0 ∞ ∫ π(π‘ − π )π−1 π π ππ (π) π ((π‘ − π )π π) πΏ × π (π , π₯ (π ) , (π»π₯) (π )) ππ ππ ππ΅ ππ σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© σ΅© σ΅© [σ΅©π₯ σ΅© + π (σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©π₯0 σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΎ + π½1 βπ₯β∞ + π½2 ) πΌΓ (π + 1) σ΅© π σ΅©πΎ + π‘−π = π (ππ πΏ) π1 ππ π − 1 (π−1)/π ( ) Γ (π + 1) ππ − 1 ∞ × ∫ ππ (π) (π (π‘π π) − π (ππ πΏ)) ππ [π₯0 + π (π₯)] (21) πΏ 2 (π−1)/π 2 π−1 ×( 2 ππ+π−1/π ] . ) ππ + π − 1 (19) + (π (ππ πΏ)) π π‘−π ×∫ 0 ∞ ∫ π(π‘ − π )π−1 ππ (π) πΏ × (π ((π‘ − π )π π) − π (ππ πΏ)) π΅V (π ) ππ ππ It follows from (16) that + π (ππ πΏ) π ∫ π‘−π 0 ∞ ∫ π(π‘ − π )π−1 π π ππ (π) πΏ × (π ((π‘ − π )π π) − π (ππ πΏ)) σ΅© σ΅© βπ§(π‘)βπΎ ≤ σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©T (π‘) [π₯0 + π (π₯)]σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΎ × π (π , π₯ (π ) , (π»π₯) (π )) ππ ππ π‘ + ∫ (π‘ − π )π−1 βS(π‘ − π )π΅V(π )βπΎ ππ = π (ππ πΏ) π¦ (π‘, π) . 0 π‘ σ΅© σ΅© + ∫ (π‘ − π )π−1 π π σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©S (π‘ − π ) π (π , π₯ (π ) , (π»π₯) (π ))σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΎ ππ 0 σ΅© σ΅© ≤ π (σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©π₯0 σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΎ + π½1 βπ₯β∞ + π½2 ) + ππ΅ ππ π − 1 (π−1)/π ((π−1)π+π−1)/π π πβV(π )βπΎ ( ) Γ (π + 1) ππ − 1 (π−1)/π π1 ππ π − 1 (π−1)/π π−1 + ( 2 ( ) ) ππ + π − 1 Γ (π + 1) ππ − 1 Since π(ππ πΏ) is compact in ππΎ and π¦(π‘, π) is bounded in π΅π0 , the set ππ (π‘) = {(πΉπΌπ,πΏ π₯)(π‘) : π₯ ∈ π΅π0 } is relatively compact in ππΎ [4]. On the other hand, using (π»1 ) and Holder’s inequality, we have 2 2 × ππ+π−1/π . (20) From the above two inequalities, we get that β(πΉπΌ π₯)(π‘)βπΎ ≤ π0 . This follows that πΉπΌ maps π΅π0 into itself. For each πΌ > 0, we prove the operator πΉπΌ maps π΅π0 into a relatively compact subset of π΅π0 . First, we show that π(π‘) = {(πΉπΌ π₯)(π‘) : π₯ ∈ π΅π0 } is relatively compact in ππΎ for every π‘ ∈ π½. The case π‘ = 0 is obvious.

Thus, π(π‘) is relatively compact in ππΎ for all π‘ ∈ (0, π] since it is compact at π‘ = 0. Therefore, we have the relatively compactness in ππΎ for all π‘ ∈ [0, π]. Next we show that π(π‘) = {(πΉπΌ π₯)(π‘) : π₯ ∈ π΅π0 } is an equicontinuous family of functions on [0, π]. By the compactness of the set, we can prove that the functions πΉπΌ π₯, π₯ ∈ π΅π0 are equicontinuous at π‘ = 0.

Now, we have to prove that πΌ1 , πΌ2 , πΌ3 , πΌ4 , πΌ5 , πΌ6 , and πΌ7 tend to 0 independently of π₯ ∈ π΅π0 as π‘2 − π‘1 → 0. By Lemma 6, one can easily show that limπ‘1 → π‘2 πΌ1 = 0. By using Lemmas 5 and 2 × π((π−1)π +(π−1) )/π (22) π −ππΎ × (∫ [(π‘2 − π ) 0 2 2 −ππΎ π /(π−1) − (π‘1 − π ) ] (π−1)/π2 ππ ) × πππ΅ βV (π )β , π ππ π−1 π−1 π/(π−1) πΌ3 ≤ ππ ) (∫ [(π‘2 − π ) − (π‘1 − π ) ] Γ (π + 1) 0 (π−1)/π × πππ΅ βV (π )β , πΌ4 ≤ ππ π − 1 (π−1)/π ((π−1)π+π−1)/π (π‘2 − π‘1 ) ( ) Γ (π + 1) ππ − 1 × ππ΅ βV (π )β (π‘2 − π‘1 ) . (24) By the Lagrange mean value theorem and Lemmas 5 and 6, it can be easily seen that πΌ2 , πΌ3 , and πΌ4 tend to 0 as π‘2 − π‘1 → 0. Thus, the right-hand side of (23) tends to 0 as π‘2 − π‘1 → 0 which means that {(πΉπΌ π₯) : π₯ ∈ π΅π0 } is a family of equicontinuous functions. It can be easily seen that for all πΌ > 0, πΉπΌ is continuous on πΆ(π½, ππΎ ). Hence, by Arzela-Ascoli’s theorem, πΉπΌ is compact. By Schauder’s fixed point theorem, πΉπΌ has a fixed point π₯ ∈ π΅π0 . Thus, the control system (1) has at least one mild solution on [0, π]. Theorem 8. Assume that (π»1 )–(π»6 ) hold. Then, system (1) is approximately controllable on [0, π]. Proof. Linear system (8) is approximately controllable, by Lemma 4, and it can be seen that approximate controllability of (8) is equivalent to convergence of the operator πΌπ (πΌ, Γ0π ) to zero operator in the strong operator topology as πΌ → 0+ . Let π₯ΜπΌ (⋅) be a fixed point of πΉπΌ in π΅π . Any fixed point of πΉπΌ is a mild solution of (1) under the control π’ΜπΌ (π‘) = π΅∗ S∗ (π − π‘)π (πΌ, Γ0π )π(π₯ΜπΌ ) and satisfies π₯ΜπΌ (π) = π₯π − πΌπ (πΌ, Γ0π )π(π₯ΜπΌ ). By π the condition (π»5 ), we have ∫0 βπ(π , π₯ΜπΌ (π ), (π»π₯ΜπΌ )(π ))β2 ππ ≤ ππ2 , and consequently, the sequence {π(π , π₯ΜπΌ (π ), (π»π₯ΜπΌ )(π ))} is bounded in πΏ2 (π½, ππΎ ). Then there is a subsequence denoted by {π(π , π₯ΜπΌ (π ), (π»π₯ΜπΌ )(π ))} that converges weakly to say π(π ) in πΏ2 (π½, ππΎ ). Now, the compactness of S(π‘) implies that 6 Journal of Applied Mathematics S(π − π )π(π , π₯ΜπΌ (π ), (π»π₯ΜπΌ )(π )) → S(π − π )π(π ) in πΏ2 (π½, ππΎ ), and we obtain Consider the fractional partial differential equation with control in the following form: ππ π₯ (π‘, π¦) ππ‘π σ΅©σ΅© Μ σ΅© σ΅©σ΅©π (π₯πΌ ) − π€σ΅©σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© π σ΅© = σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©∫ (π − π )π−1 π π S (π − π ) σ΅©σ΅© 0 = σ΅©σ΅© σ΅© × [π (π , π₯ΜπΌ (π ) , (π»π₯ΜπΌ ) (π )) − π (π )] ππ σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© π‘ σ΅© ≤ sup σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©∫ (π‘ − π )π−1 π π S (π‘ − π ) σ΅© 0 0≤π‘≤π σ΅© π2 π₯ (π‘, π¦) + π (π‘, π¦) ππ¦2 + ππ‘ π π−π‘ cos [π₯ (π‘, π¦) + ∫ cos (π‘π ) π₯ (π , π¦) ππ ] + π−π‘ , −π‘ +π 0 π‘ ∈ [0, 1] , π₯ (π‘, 0) = π₯ (π‘, 1) = 0, σ΅©σ΅© σ΅© × [π (π , π₯ΜπΌ (π ) , (π»π₯ΜπΌ ) (π )) − π (π )] ππ σ΅©σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© π π¦ ∈ [0, 1] , π‘ > 0, 1 π₯ (0, π¦) = ∑ ∫ π1 (π¦, π) π₯ (π‘π , π) ππ σ³¨→ 0 as πΌ σ³¨→ 0+ , π=0 0 (25) π 1 + ∑ ∫ π2 (π¦, π) π=0 0 where π π₯ (π‘π , π) ππ, ππ (29) π€ = π₯π − T (π) [π₯0 + π (π₯ΜπΌ )] π − ∫ (π − π )π−1 S (π − π ) π π π (π ) ππ .

This proves the approximate controllability of (1). The proof is completed. Example 9. As an application of the obtained theory, we consider a control system which is represented by fractional partial differential equation. Let π = π = πΏ2 ([0, 1]), and let π΄ : π·(π΄) ⊂ π → π be the operator defined by π΄π§ = −π§σΈ σΈ with domain π· (π΄) = {π§ ∈ πΏ2 ([0, 1]) : π§, π§σΈ are absolutely continuous, π§σΈ σΈ ∈ πΏ2 ([0, 1]) , π§ (0) = π§ (1) = 0} . (28) 1/2 ∑∞ π=1 (π§, ππ )ππ where 0 ≤ π ≤ 1; π : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → [0, 1] is continuous; π1 , π2 ∈ πΏ2 ([0, 1] × [0, 1]); π ∈ π. Let π₯(π‘)(π¦) = π₯(π‘, π¦), and define the bounded linear operator π΅ : π → π by (π΅π’)(π‘)(π¦) = π(π‘, π¦), 0 ≤ π¦ ≤ 1. Let πΆ([0, 1], π1/2 ) be a Banach space equipped with sup norm. Further, we define the operators π : [0, 1] × π1/2 → π1/2 and π : πΆ([0, 1], π1/2 ) → π1/2 by Let π·(π΄ ) = {π§(⋅) ∈ π : ∈ π}, and let π1/2 = π·(π΄1/2 , β ⋅ β1/2 ), where β ⋅ β1/2 = βπ΄1/2 β2 . For each π§ ∈ π·(π΄1/2 ) and βπ΄−1/2 β = 1, the operator π΄1/2 is given 2 √2 sin(ππ¦) and by π΄1/2 π§ = ∑∞ π=1 π (π§, ππ )ππ , where ππ (π¦) = 0 ≤ π¦ ≤ 1, π = 1, 2, . . . is the orthogonal set of eigenvectors of π΄. It is well known that −π΄ generates a compact analytic semigroup of uniformly bounded linear operator. ππ‘ π π−π‘ cos [π₯ (π‘) + ∫ cos (π‘π ) π₯ (π ) ππ ] (π¦) + π−π‘ , −π‘ +π 0 π π (π₯) (π¦) = (∑ (Kπ₯) (π‘π )) (π¦) , π=0 for π₯ ∈ πΆ (π½, π1/2 ) , (30) π 1 where (π»π₯)(π‘)(π¦) = ∫0 cos(π‘π )π₯(π , π¦)ππ , (Kπ)(π) = ∫0 π1 (π¦, 1 π)π(π)ππ + ∫0 π2 (π¦, π)(π/ππ)π(π)ππ for all π ∈ π1/2 . Moreover, the linear fractional control system corresponding to (29) is approximately controllable. Thus, with the above choices of π΄, π΅, π, and π, the system (29) can be written to the abstract form of (1). Therefore, all the conditions of Theorem 8 are satisfied. Hence, by Theorem 8, the fractional nonlinear integrodifferential system (29) is approximately controllable on [0, 1]. Note. The considered system (1) is of the more general form, and in particular, if functions π and β have various physical meanings, it is important to note that (1) has a great diversity. The result in this paper assumes that the linear system has a compact semigroup and consequently is not completely controllable. Moreover, the functions with Lipschitz condition are considerably strong when one discusses various applications in the real-world problems. Such an assumption is removed from this paper.
