Approximate controllability of a delayed semilinear control system with growing nonlinear term (Q642550)

Consider the control system \[ \dot{x}(t)=Ax(t)+A_1x(t-h)+Bu(t)+f(t,x(t-h)),\;t\in I=[0,T] \tag{1} \] with the initial condition \[ x(t)=\xi(t),\;t\in [-h,0], \] where \(x(\cdot)\in L_2(I,X)\), \(\xi(\cdot)\in L_2([-h,0],X)\) and \(u(\cdot)\in L_2(I,X)\), and \(X\) and \(U\) are Hilbert spaces. System (1) is said to be approximately controllable if the corresponding reachable set is dense in \(X\). The linear system \[ \dot{x}(t)=Ax(t)+A_1x(t-h)+B u(t),\;t\in I=[0,T] \tag{2} \] is said to be approximately controllable if the corresponding reachable set is dense in \(X\). In this work the following results are obtained: if the linear control system \[ \dot{x}(t)=Ax(t)+B u(t),\;t\in I=[0,T] \] is approximately controllable, then the linear control system (2) is approximately controllable; if the linear system (2) is approximately controllable, then the control system (1) is approximately controllable.
