Controllability of nonlinear systems consisting of a bilinear mode with time-varying delays in control (Q791475)

In the paper using Schauder's fixed point arguments, sufficient conditions for global relative controllability of nonlinear perturbed, continuous-time dynamical systems with time-varying multiple delays in the control are derived. These conditions are generalizations of the similar results given in the paper of \textit{J. Klamka} [Automatica 12, 633-634 (1976; Zbl 0345.93014)]. The results obtained in the paper can be extended to general nonlinear systems with multiple time-varying delays in the state variables. Unfortunately, there are no numerical examples for illustrating the presented method. It should be noted, that similar results can be derived with the aid of fixed point theorems for measures of noncompactness (see \textit{C. Dacka} [IEEE Trans. Autom. Control, AC-27, 268-270 (1982; Zbl 0469.93021)]).
