Controllability of nonlinear differential equations in Banach space with nonlocal conditions (Q1608141)

The authors consider sufficient conditions for the controllability of the following semilinear evolution systems in a Banach space with nonlocal initial conditions \[ y'-A(t,y)y= (Bu)(t)+ f(t,y),\;t\in J=[0,b], \] \[ y(0)+g(y) =y_0, \] where \(A,f:J\times E\to E\) are two continuous functions, \(g.C(J,E)\to E\), \(y_0\in E\), and \(E\) is a real Banach space with the norm \(\|\cdot \|\). Here, the control function \(u(\cdot)\) is given in \(L^2 (J,U)\), a Banach space of admissible control functions with \(U\) a Banach space, \(B\) is a bounded linear operator from \(U\) to \(E\). They rely on a fixed-point theorem for compact maps due to Schaefer.
