Exact null controllability of semilinear integrodifferential systems in Hilbert spaces (Q703872)

The authors remove the bounded invertibility condition replacing it by the exact null controllability of the associated linear system with additive term. Exact null controllability of this system does not guarantee the boundedness of \((L_0)^{-1}\), but it guarantees the boundedness of the operator \((L_0)^{-1}N^T_0\) which is defined in Lemma 3. Using this operator they transform the controllability problem into a fixed point problem for some operator and use the Schauder fixed point theorem to show that the operator has a fixed point. An application to partial integro-differential equations, is given.
