Null controllability and global blowup controllability of ordinary differential equations with feedback controls

This paper concerns the problem of feedback null controllability and blowup controllability with feedback controls for ordinary differential equations. First, we study the feedback null controllability on a time-varying ordinary differential system by unbounded feedback operators. Then, the global exact blowup controllability with feedback controls is derived on a time-invariant ordinary differential system. Finally, we obtain the approximate null controllability by bounded feedback operators, and get the approximate blowup controllability with feedback controls for ordinary differential equations.     

Approximate controllability of retarded semilinear stochastic system with non local conditions

This paper deals with the approximate controllability of retarded semilinear stochastic system with nonlocal conditions in Hilbert Spaces under the assumption that the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable. The control function for this system is suitably constructed by using the infinite dimensional controllability operator. With this control function, the sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of the proposed problem in Hilbert Space are established. The results are obtained by using Banach fixed point theorem. Finally, two examples are provided to illustrate the application of the obtained results.     

Approximate controllability of second-order distributed implicit functional systems

In this paper we study the approximate controllability of control systems with states and controls in Hilbert spaces, and described by a second-order semilinear abstract functional differential equation with infinite delay. Initially we establish a characterization for the approximate controllability of a second-order abstract linear system and, in the last section, we compare the approximate controllability of a semilinear abstract functional system with the approximate controllability of the associated linear system.     

Controllability of Some Nonlinear Systems in Hilbert Spaces

In this paper, several abstract results concerning the controllability of semilinear evolution systems are obtained. First, approximate controllability conditions for semilinear systems are obtained by means of a fixed-point theorem of the Rothe type; in this case, the compactness of the linear operator is assumed. Next, the exact controllability of semilinear systems with nonlinearities having small Lipschitz constants is derived by means of the Banach fixed-point theorem; in this case, the compactness of the operators is not assumed. In both cases, it is proven that the controllability of the linear system implies the controllability of the associated semilinear system. Finally, these abstract results are applied to the controllability of the semilinear wave and heat equations.     

Uniform controllability via the limiting systems

The relations between uniform controllability of a time varying system and mere controllability of its limiting systems are studied. The necessary and the sufficient conditions that are developed enable one to apply the available controllability tests in order to establish or refute uniform controllability. Examples and applications are provided along with the analogous considerations for observability.The research was supported by The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities—Basic Research Foundation.     

Approximate controllability of impulsive semilinear stochastic system with delay in state

Many practical systems in physical and biological sciences have impulsive dynamical behaviors during the evolution process that can be modeled by impulsive differential equations. This article studies the approximate controllability of impulsive semilinear stochastic system with delay in state in Hilbert spaces. Assuming the conditions for the approximate controllability of the corresponding deterministic linear system, we obtain the sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of the impulsive semilinear stochastic system with delay in state. The results are obtained by using Banach fixed point theorem. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the developed theory.     

Boundary controllability for the quasi-linear wave equations coupled in parallel

We study the boundary exact controllability for a system of two quasi-linear wave equations coupled in parallel with springs and viscous terms. We prove the locally exact controllability around superposition equilibria under some checkable geometrical conditions. We then establish the globally exact controllability in such a way that the state of the coupled quasi-linear system moves from a superposition equilibrium in one location to a superposition equilibrium in another location. Our results show that exact controllability is geometrical characters of a Riemannian metric, given by the coefficients and superposition equilibria of the system.     

Novel Controllability Conditions for a Class of Singularly-Perturbed Systems with Small State Delays

A singularly-perturbed linear time-dependent controlled system with small pointwise and distributed delays in the state variable is considered. Two simpler parameter-free systems, the slow and fast ones, can be associated with the original system. It was established in the literature that the Euclidean space controllability of the original system, valid for all sufficiently small values of the parameter of singular perturbations, follows from the controllability properties of the slow and fast systems. It also was established that such a connection between the controllability properties of the original system and the slow and fast systems is correct, in general, only in one direction. Namely, the controllability of the slow and fast systems provides the controllability of the original system, while the controllability of the original system not always yields the controllability of both the slow and fast systems. In this paper, we consider the original system such that the respective fast system is uncontrollable, meaning that the previously established controllability conditions are not applicable to this original system. In this case, novel parameter-free sufficient conditions for the Euclidean space controllability of the original system, robust with respect to the small parameter of singular perturbations, are derived. Illustrative examples are presented.     

Exact null controllability of semilinear integrodifferential systems in Hilbert spaces

Sufficient conditions for exact null controllability of the semilinear integrodifferential systems in Hilbert spaces are obtained. It is shown that under some natural conditions exact null controllability of the semilinear integrodifferential system is implied by the exact null controllability of the corresponding linear system with additive term. An application to partial integrodifferential equations is given.

This paper is concerned with the controllability of a fractional linear time-invariant neutral dynamical system. The solution of the state equation for the system is derived first. Two criteria on controllability of the system are established by constructing suitable control functions. Two examples are provided to illustrate the obtained results.     

Exact Controllability of Semilinear Evolution Systems and Its Application

In this paper, we obtain several abstract results concerning the exact controllability of semilinear evolution systems. First, we prove the null local exact controllability of semilinear first-order systems by means of the contraction mapping principle; in this case, we do not assume any compactness. Next, we derive the global and/or local exact controllability of semilinear second-order systems by means of the Schauder fixed-point theorem; in this case, we assume only the embedding of the related spaces having some compactness, which is reasonable for many concrete problems. Our main result shows that the observability of the dual of the linearized system implies the exact controllability of the original semilinear system. Finally, we apply our abstract results to the exact controllability of the semilinear wave equation.     

Controllability questions for nonlinear systems in abstract spaces

In abstract spaces, we consider certain constrained controllability and approximate controllability properties of a nonlinear system that can be deduced from various controllability properties of its associated linear system.

This paper is concerned with the exact controllability of nonlinear third order dispersion equation with infinite distributed delay. Sufficient conditions are formulated and proved for the exact controllability of this system. Without imposing a compactness condition on the semigroup, we establish controllability results by using a fixed point analysis approach.     

Approximate boundary controllability of Sobolev-type stochastic differential systems

The objective of this paper is to investigate the approximate boundary controllability of Sobolev-type stochastic differential systems in Hilbert spaces. The control function for this system is suitably constructed by using the infinite dimensional controllability operator. Sufficient conditions for approximate boundary controllability of the proposed problem in Hilbert space is established by using contraction mapping principle and stochastic analysis techniques. The obtained results are extended to stochastic differential systems with Poisson jumps. Finally, an example is provided which illustrates the main results.     

On the controllability of infinite-dimensional linear systems

Two types of controllability, namely weak controllability and strong controllability, are defined for general linear systems. Both types of controllability are useful in control theory. If the system is finite-dimensional, the two types of controllability are equivalent to each other and to the standard concept of complete state-controllability.

Controllability for systems governed by semilinear differential inclusions in a Banach space with a noncompact semigroup

We study the controllability problem for a system governed by a semilinear differential inclusion in a Banach space not assuming that the semigroup generated by the linear part of inclusion is compact. Instead we suppose that the multivalued nonlinearity satisfies the regularity condition expressed in terms of the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness. It allows us to apply the topological degree theory for condensing operators and to obtain the controllability results for both upper Carathéodory and almost lower semicontinuous types of nonlinearity. As application we consider the controllability for a system governed by a perturbed wave equation.
