Controllability of non-densely defined neutral functional differential systems in abstract space (Q2641590)

This paper is concerned with exact controllability results for first order neutral functional differential equation. More precisely the authors consider the following class of semilinear differential equations, \[ \frac{d}{dt}\,[x(t)-g(t,x_t)]=A[x(t)-g(t,x_t)]+Cu(t)+F(t,x_t),\;t\in[0,a],\qquad x_0=\phi \] where \(g,\;F:J\times C([-r,0],X)\to X\) are single-valued functions, \(X\) is a Banach the unbounded linear operators \(A: D(A)\subset X\to X\) is a nondensely defined closed linear operator on \(X,\;C\) is a bounded linear operator from \(X\) into \(X\), and the control parameter \(u(\cdot)\) belongs to \(L^{2}(J,U)\) a space of admissible controls with \(U\) a Banach space, and \(\phi\in C([-r,0],X)\). For a function \(x\) we define \(x_t\in C([-r,0],X),\;t\in[0,a]\), by \(x_t(\theta)=x(t+\theta)\), for \(\theta\in[-r,0]. \) The result rely on a fixed point theorem due to \textit{B. N Sadovskii} [Funct. Anal. Appl. 1 (1967), 151--153 (1968); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 1, No. 2, 74--76 (1967; Zbl 0165.49102)], combined with integrated semigroup. An example is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the main result.
