Rank criteria for the controllability for a boundary-value problem for a linear system of integro-differential equations with pulse influence (Q2740347)

The authors consider the system of integro-differential equations with pulse action and controls of the form NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\begin{aligned} &\dot x=A(t)x+f(t)+\int_{\alpha }^{t}K(t,s)x(s) ds+C(t)u(t),\quad t\neq \theta_i,\\ &\Delta x(\theta_i)=B_ix(\theta_i)+\sum_{\alpha <\theta_j\leq\theta_i}D_{ij}x(\theta_j) +Q_iv_i+I_i,\\ & x(\alpha)=a,\quad x(\beta)=b,\end{aligned} \tag{1} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(x\in \mathbb R^n\), \(\Delta x(s):=x(s+0)-x(s)\), \(t\in[\alpha,\beta]\), \(D_{ij},B_i,Q_i\in\mathbb R^{n\times n}\), \(a,b,I_j\in \mathbb R^n\), \(A(t),C(t)\in L_2([\alpha,\beta],\mathbb R^{n\times n})\), \(K(t,s)\in L_2([\alpha,\beta]\times[\alpha,\beta],\mathbb R^{n\times n})\). The control problem is said to be soluble if for any \(f\in L_2([\alpha,\beta],\mathbb R^n)\), \(\{I_i\in \mathbb R^n\}_{i=1}^p\) and \(a,b\in \mathbb R^n\) there exists a control \(\big\{u(t)\in L_2([\alpha,\beta],\mathbb R^n),\{v_i\in \mathbb R^n\}_{i=1}^p\big\}\) such that problem (1) has a solution.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEFirst some auxiliary results on the existence of solution to the problem without control are obtained. Then the rank conditions for the solvability of the control problem are established.
