Existence of solutions for nonlocal impulsive partial functional integrodifferential equations via fractional operators

In this paper, by using the Leray-Schauder alternative, we have investigated the existence of mild solutions to first-order impulsive partial functional integrodifferential equations with nonlocal conditions in an α-norm. We assume that the linear part generates an analytic compact bounded semigroup, and that the nonlinear part is a Lipschitz continuous function with respect to the fractional power norm of the linear part. An example is also given to illustrate our main results.     

Solvability and optimal controls for semilinear fractional evolution hemivariational inequalities

This paper is concerned with the control systems of semilinear fractional evolution hemivariational inequalities and their optimal controls in Banach space. Firstly, the existence of mild solutions is obtained and proved mainly by using a well‐known fixed point theorem of multivalued maps and the properties of generalized Clarke subdifferential. Then, by applying generally mild conditions of cost functionals, we investigate the existence results of the optimal controls for fractional differential evolution hemivariational inequalities. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the applicability of the main results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Solvability and Optimal Controls of a Fractional Impulsive Stochastic Partial Integro-Differential Equation with State-Dependent Delay

In this paper, a new class of fractional impulsive stochastic partial integro-differential control systems with state-dependent delay and their optimal controls in a Hilbert space is studied. We firstly prove an existence result of mild solutions for the control systems by using stochastic analysis, analytic \(\alpha \)-resolvent operator, fractional powers of closed operators and suitable fixed point theorems. Then we derive the existence conditions of optimal pairs to the fractional impulsive stochastic control systems. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our main results.

Secondly, fractional impulsive relaxed control system is constructed by using a regular countably additive measure and making the original control system convexified. Thirdly, optimal relaxed controls and relaxation theorems are obtained. Finally, application to initial-boundary value problem of fractional impulsive parabolic control system is considered.

This article investigates the solvability and optimal controls of systems monitored by fractional delay evolution inclusions with Clarke subdifferential type. By applying a fixed‐point theorem of condensing multivalued maps and some properties of Clarke subdifferential, an existence theorem concerned with the mild solution for the system is proved under suitable assumptions. Moreover, an existence result of optimal control pair that governed by the presented system is also obtained under some mild conditions. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our main results.

Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of nonlinear multidelay differential equations with linear parts defined by pairwise permutable matrices

In this paper a generalization of the delayed exponential defined by Khusainov and Shuklin (2003) [1] for autonomous linear delay systems with one delay defined by permutable matrices is given for delay systems with multiple delays and pairwise permutable matrices. Using this multidelay-exponential a solution of a Cauchy initial value problem is represented. By an application of this representation and using Pinto’s integral inequality an asymptotic stability results for some classes of nonlinear multidelay differential equations are proved.

Boundary optimal control for nonlinear antiplane problems

We consider a nonlinear antiplane problem which models the deformation of an elastic cylindrical body in frictional contact with a rigid foundation. The contact is modelled with Tresca’s law of dry friction in which the friction bound is slip dependent.The aim of this article is to study an optimal control problem which consists of leading the stress tensor as close as possible to a given target, by acting with a control on the boundary of the body. The existence of at least one optimal control is proved. Next we introduce a regularized problem, depending on a small parameter ρ, and we study the convergence of the optimal controls when ρ tends to zero. An optimality condition is delivered for the regularized problem.     

Nonlinear differential problems with first- or second-order differences in Hilbert spaces

In a real Hilbert space, we investigate the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic properties of the generalized solutions of some nonlinear differential systems with first- or second-order differences, subject to extreme conditions and initial data. Some generalizations of Minty’s theorem for the characterization of maximal monotone operators are also presented.     

Lur’e feedback systems with both unbounded control and observation: Well-posedness and stability using nonlinear semigroups

This paper is a complement of information to Grabowski and Callier (2006) [1]. A SISO Lur’e feedback control system consisting of a linear, infinite-dimensional system of boundary control in factor form and a nonlinear static incremental sector type controller is considered. Well-posedness and a criterion of absolute strong asymptotic stability of the null equilibrium is obtained using a novel nonlinear semigroup approach. A quadratic form Lyapunov functional is considered via a Lur’e type linear operator inequality. A sufficient strict circle criterion of solvability of the latter is found, using the solution of an operator Riccati equation by a novel self contained exposition, via reciprocal systems with bounded generating operators as recently studied and used by R.F. Curtain. The noncoercive case is finally considered using, in a novel way, LaSalle’s invariance principle.

Optimal control of a class of strongly nonlinear parabolic systems

This paper considers some typical optimal control problems for a class of strongly nonlinear parabolic systems. After some necessary preparation, it is shown that the family of admissible trajectories is a weakly closed and weakly sequentially compact subset of a reflexive Banach space and that the set of attainable states at any given time is a weakly compact subset of a Hilbert space. Using these basic results, proofs of existence of optimal controls are presented. A terminal control problem, a special Bolza problem, and a time optimal control problem are solved, and the necessary conditions of optimality for the corresponding control problems are given.

The existence of the optimal controls for a Lagrange problem of the systems governed by the second-order nonlinear impulsive evolution equations is also presented. An example is given for demonstration.

Some results for fractional boundary value problem of differential inclusions

In this paper, we study fractional differential inclusions with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove the existence of a solution under both convexity and nonconvexity conditions on the multi-valued right-hand side. The proofs rely on nonlinear alternative Leray–Schauder type, Bressan–Colombo selection theorem and Covitz and Nadler’s fixed point theorem for multi-valued contractions. The compactness of the set solutions and relaxation results is also established. In the last section we consider the fractional boundary value problem with infinite delay.     

Study on Sobolev type Hilfer fractional integro-differential equations with delay

In this paper, we deal with a class of nonlinear Sobolev type fractional integro-differential equations with delay using Hilfer fractional derivative, which generalized the famous Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. The definition of mild solutions for studied problem was given based on an operator family generated by the operator pair (A, B) and probability density function. Combining with the techniques of fractional calculus, measure of noncompactness and fixed point theorem, we obtain new existence result of mild solutions with two new characteristic solution operators and the assumptions that the nonlinear term satisfies some growth condition and noncompactness measure condition. The results obtained improve and extend some related conclusions on this topic. At last, an example is given to illustrate our main results.     

Optimal Control of Parabolic Hemivariational Inequalities

In this paper we study the optimal control of systems driven by parabolic hemivariational inequalities. First, we establish the existence of solutions to a parabolic hemivariational inequality which contains nonlinear evolution operator. Introducing a control variable in the second member and in the multivalued term, we prove the upper semicontinuity property of the solution set of the inequality. Then we use this result and the direct method of the calculus of variations to show the existence of optimal admissible state–control pairs.
