Abstract

In this paper, by using the noncompact measure, we study the exact controllability of mild solutions for semilinear differential equation when the nonlocal term is Lipschitz continuous in general Banach space. Here, the regularity conditions of noncompact measure assumption in previous literature are not used, but instead we adopt the estimate of noncompact measure in different topological spaces, give the proper control function by the property of quotient space, and obtain the exact controllability of the differential equation. Therefore, our results can be regarded as a Generalization of the controllability field.

1 Introduction

Byszewski [2] first developed classical differential equations into nonlocal differential equations. Due to the fact that nonlocal differential equations can better and more accurately describe physical phenomena than classical Cauchy problem, many scholars have conducted detailed research in this field under different conditions for linear operator A and nonlinear term f.

In this paper, we mainly discuss the exact controllability of mild solutions to nonlocal differential equations as follows:

{y(t)=Ay(t)+f(t,y(t))+Bu(t),t[0,h],y(0)=y0g(y),

where y() takes value in Banach space Y, control function uL2([0,h],U), and U is Hilbert space. A is an infinitesimal generator of strongly continuous semigroup {T(t),t0}, and there exists a constant Q>0 such that supt[0,h]T(t)Q. B:UY is a bounded linear operator and g:C([0,h],Y)Y is a nonlocal term.

In 1960, Kalman first proposed the concept of controllability of linear systems in finite dimensional spaces. Controllability is a core issue in control theory, which has attracted widespread attention from scholars. Some scholars have also extended this concept to the case of nonlinear systems in infinite dimensional spaces. In recent years, scholars have studied the exact controllability of infinite dimensional semilinear evolution systems using different methods (see [3, 6-15]). In the study of exact controllability problems, the property of operator W is crucial in constructing control functions. However, in infinite dimensional spaces, it is generally not possible to achieve exact controllability when the relevant operator is compact (see [4]). In references [3, 8, 12, 15], the authors used Hausdorff noncompact measures to discuss the exact controllability of the system under the condition of noncompact semigroup. In order to overcome the difficulty of losing compactness, the author assumes the following regularity condition of W1 for non-compact measures:

γU(W1(Ω)(t))κ(t)γY(Ω),

where κ()L+1([0,h]), γU is a Hausdorff noncompact measure defined on space U. Based on this, this paper has two purposes: the first is to provide estimates of noncompact measures in different topological spaces, directly removing the regularity condition assumed in the previous literature (1.2); the second is to use the properties of the quotient space to provide a suitable control function u. Therefore, our results generalize some conclusions known in this field.

2 Preliminaries

Definition 2.1 Function yC([0,h],Y). If for any t[0,h], there exists

y(t)=T(t)[y0g(y)]+0tT(ts)f(s,y(s))ds+0tT(ts)Bu(s)ds,

then y is the mild solution of Equation (1.1).

Define the Hausdorff noncompact measure as follows:

γ(Ω)=inf{ε>0:Ωhas finiteεgrid inY},

where Ω is a bounded set in Y.

Hausdorff noncompact measure γ has the following properties.

Lemma 2.1 [1]  Assume B1, B2Y is a bounded set in Y, then the following conclusions are established:

(1) B1 is relatively compact if and only if γ(B1)=0;

(2) γ(B1)γ(B2), when B1B2;

(3) γ(B1+B2)γ(B1)+γ(B2), where B1+B2={u1+u2;u1B1,u2B2};

(4) γ(λB1)=|λ|γ(B1), where λ∈R;

(5) If Γ:D(Γ)YZ is Lipschitz continuous, and Lipschitz constant is k, then for any bounded set VD(Γ), there exists γZ(ΓV)kγ(V), where Z is a Banach space.

Noncompact measure γ0 induced by γ is defined as

γ0(V)=sup{γ({yn:n1}):{yn}n=1+is a sequence inV}.

Obviously,

γ0(V)γ(V)2γ0(V).

In particular, if Y is a divisible Banach space, then γ0(V)=γ(V).

Mapping Γ:VYY. For any bounded set V1V, there exists positive constant μ<1 such that γ(ΓV1)μγ(V1), then we say Γ is γ-contracted.

Definition 2.2 Equation (1.1) is exactly controllable on the interval [0,h]. If for any y0,y1Y, there exists the control function uL2([0,h],U), such that the mild solution y() of Equation (1.1) satisfies y(h)=y1.

We make the following assumptions:

Assumption (W): define linear operator W:L2([0,h],U)Y as

Wu=0hT(hs)Bu(s)ds,

satisfying

(i) W is surjective, namely R(W)=Y.

Obviously, L2([0,h],U)/ker(W) is a Banach space, assigning the norm

[u]=infu[u]uL2([0,h],U)=infWu^=0u+u^L2([0,h],U),

where [u] is the equivalence class of u. Define W~:L2([0,h],U)/ker(W)Y as

W~[u]=Wu,u[u].

Then W~ is injective, and satisfies

W~[u]Y2W[u]L2([0,h],U)/ker(W).

Since R(W)=Y, with the Banach inverse operator theorem, there exist

W~1:YL2([0,h],U)/ker(W),

and

W~1L(Y,L2([0,h],U)/ker(W)).

Define operator P:L2([0,h],U)/ker(W)L2([0,h],U) as

P[u]=u1,u1[u],

which satisfies

P([u])2[u],uL2([0,h],U).

(ii) There exists positive constant Q1, Q2, such that BQ1,W~1Q2.

Assume (f): mapping f:[0,h]×YY satisfies

(1) for any yY, f(,y):[0,h]Y is measurable; for almost everywhere t[0,h], f(t,):YY is continuous;

(2) for every yC([0,h],Y) and yr,r>0, there exists

f(t,y(t))ρr(t),a.e.t[0,h],

where ρrL1([0,h],R+), and

liminfr+0hρr(t)dtr=α<.

(iii) There exists kL1([0,h],R+), such that for any bounded set VY,

γ(f(t,V))k(t)γ(V)

holds for almost everywhere.

Assumption (g): nonlocal term g:C([0,h],Y) Y is Lipschitz continuous, that is, there exists constant bR+, such that for any y1,y2C([0,h],Y), there is g(y1)g(y2)by1y2, and (Qα+Qb)(1+2hQ1Q2Q)<1.

3 Main results

To prove the exact controllability of Equation (1.1), we assume is P a linear operator, and for any yC([0,h],Y), define the control function

uy(t)=PW~1{y1T(h)[y0g(y)]0hT(hτ)f(τ,y(τ))dτ}(t),t[0,h].

Under this control function, define the operator Γ:C([0,h],Y)C([0,h],Y) as

(Γy)(t)=(Γ1y)(t)+(Γ2y)(t)+(Γ3y)(t),

where

(Γ1y)(t)=T(t)[y0g(y)],(Γ2y)(t)=0tT(ts)f(s,y(s))ds,(Γ3y)(t)=0tT(ts)Buy(s)ds.

Lemma 3.1 [1]  Assume bounded set VC([0,h],Y). For any t[0,h],

γ(V(t))γc(V),

where V(t)={y(t):yV}Y, and γc is the Hausdorff noncompact measure defined on C([0,h],Y). If V is continuous, then γ(V(t)) is continuous on the interval [0,h]. Specifically,

γc(V)=sup{γ(V(t)):t[0,h]}.

Lemma 3.2 [1]  If operator semigroup {T(t),t0} is equicontinuous, and ωL1([0,h],R+), then set

{0tT(ts)f(s)ds:f(s)ω(s)a.e.s[0,h]}

is equicontinuous on the interval [0,h].

Next, we will introduce the main fixed point theorems in this paper.

Lemma 3.3 [5]  Assume W is a nonempty bounded closed convex set in Banach space Y, if continuous mapping Γ:WW is γ-contracted, then Γ contains at least one fixed point.

Lemma 3.4  If assumptions (W), (f(i)‒f(ii)), and (g) hold, then there exists positive constant r, such that Γ(Br)Br, where Br={yC([0,h],Y):yr}.

Proof Use proof by contradiction. If for any r, there is always yrBr satisfying Γ(yr)Br, and

Γ(yr)(t)=T(t)[y0g(yr)]+0tT(ts)f(s,yr(s))ds+0tT(ts)BPW~1×{y1T(h)[y0g(yr)]0hT(hτ)f(τ,yr(τ))dτ}(s)ds,

it can be obtained with assumptions (W), (f(ii)) and (g) that for every t[0,h], there is

Γ(yr)(t)Qy0g(yr)+Q0tf(s,yr(s))ds+QQ10tPW~1(y1T(h)[y0g(yr)]0hT(hτ)f(τ,yr(τ))dτ)dsQ((b+1)y0+br+g(y0))+Q0hρr(s)ds+QQ1h×PW~1(y1T(h)[y0g(yr)]0hT(hτ)f(τ,yr(τ))dτ)L2([0,h],U)Q((b+1)y0+br+g(y0))+Q0hρr(s)ds+2QQ2Q1h×[y1+Q((b+1)y0+br+g(y0))+Q0hρr(s)ds].

However,

r<Γ(Br)Q((b+1)y0+br+g(y0))+Q0hρr(s)ds+2QQ2Q1h[y1+Q((b+1)y0+br+g(y0))+Q0hρr(s)ds].

When the two sides of the equation are divided by r and obtain the limit r, we have

(Qα+Qb)(1+2hQ1Q2Q)1,

which contradicts with the Assumption (g). Hence, there must exist r>0 such that Γ(Br)Br. □

Lemma 3.5  Assume assumptions (W), (f(iii)), and (g) hold. If semigroup {T(t):t[0,h]} is equicontinuous, and

Qb+4QkL1+4hQ1Q2Q2(b+2kL1)<1,

then Γ is γ-contracted on Br.

Proof Assume W is a bounded set in Br, it can be obtained with semigroup equicontinuity and Lemma 3.2 that Γ(W) is equicontinuous. From Lemma 2.1, Lemma 3.1, and Assumption (g),

γ(ΓW)γ(Γ1W)+γ(Γ2W)+γ(Γ3W)=supt[0,h]{γ({T(t)[y0g(y)]:yW})+γ({0tT(ts)[f(s,y(s))+Buy(s)]ds:yW})}Qbγc(W)+supt[0,h]γ({0tT(ts)f(s,y(s))ds:yW})+supt[0,h]γ({0tT(ts)Buy(s)ds:yW}).

By using Formula (2.1), for any ε>0, there exists sequences {yk}k=1W and {f(s,yk(s))}k=1L1([0,h],Y) satisfying

γ({0tT(ts)f(s,y(s))ds:yW})2γ({0tT(ts)f(s,yk(s))ds:k1})+εsupt[0,h]2γ({0tT(ts)f(s,yk(s))ds:k1})+ε.

Hence,

γ({0tT(ts)f(s,yk(s))ds:k1})2Q0tk(s)γ({yk(s):k1})ds,

γ({0tT(ts)f(s,y(s))ds:yW})supt[0,h]4Q0tk(s)γ({yk(s):k1})ds+εsupt[0,h]4Q0tk(s)γ(W(s))ds+ε4QkL1γc(W)+ε.

Next, we estimate

γ({0tT(ts)Buy(s)ds:yW}).

By using Equation (2.1), there exists uWk(s)L2([0,h],U) such that

γ({0tT(ts)Buy(s)ds:yW})2γ({0tT(ts)BuWk(s)ds:k1})+ε.

Let

ξ:=γL2({uWk:k1}).

Then for any ξ>ξ, there exists finite point {v1,v2,,vj}L2([0,h],U), such that for any uWkL2([0,h],U),

uWkviL2([0,h],U)ξ,i=1,2,,jholds.

Hence,

0tT(ts)BuWk(s)ds0tT(ts)Bvi(s)ds0hQQ1uWk(s)vi(s)dshQQ1viuWkL2([0,h],U)hQQ1ξ.

According to the properties of noncompact meassures,

γ({0tT(ts)BuWk(s)ds:k1})hQQ1γL2({uWk:k1})hQQ1γL2({uy:yW}).

Given

uy=PW~1{y1T(h)[y0g(y)]0hT(hτ)f(τ,y(τ))dτ},yW,

γL2(uy:yW)2Q2γ({T(h)[x0g(y)]+0hT(hs)f(s,y(s))ds:yW})2Q2Qbγc(W)+4Q2Q0hk(s)γ({y(s):yW})ds2Q2Qbγc(W)+4Q2QkL1γc(W).

So,

γ({0tT(ts)Buyk(s)ds:k1})2hQ1Q2Q2(b+2kL1)γc(W).

Hence,

γ({0tT(ts)Buy(s)ds:yW})4hQ1Q2Q2(b+2kL1)γc(W)+ε.

By combining (3.2) and (3.3),

γc(ΓW)γc(Γ1W)+γc(Γ2W)+γc(Γ3W)(Qb+4QkL1+4hQ1Q2Q2(b+2kL1))γc(W)+2ε.

It can be obtained with the arbitrariness of ε

γc(ΓW)(Qb+4QkL1+4hQ1Q2Q2(b+2kL1))γc(W).

From Equation (3.1), it can be seen that Γ is strictly γ-contracted. □

Theorem 3.1  Assume assumptions (W), (f), and (g) hold. If semigroup {T(t):t[0,h]} is equicontinuous, and Equation (3.1) is established, then Equation (1.1) is exactly controllable on the interval [0,h].

Proof Obviously, the fixed point of operator Γ is the mild solution of Equation (1.1). Next, we will use Lemma 3.3 to prove the existence of fixed point to operator Γ. Firstly, by combining the conclusions of Lemma 3.4 and Lemma 3.5, it can be seen that BrBr is strictly γ-contracted.

Secondly, we prove is Γ a continuous operator. Let {yn}n=1+ be a sequence in C([0,h],Y) and limnyn=y. It can be obtained from assumptions (f(i)) that for almost everywhere s[0,h], f(s,yn(s)) converges to f(s,y(s)). Hence

(Γyn)Γ(y)Qg(yn)g(y)+Q0hf(s,yn(s))f(s,y(s))ds+QQ10huyn(s)uy(s)dsQg(yn)g(y)+Q0hf(s,yn(s))f(s,y(s))ds+QQ1huynuyL2Qg(yn)g(y)+Q0hf(s,yn(s))f(s,y(s))ds+2Q1Q2Q2h×[g(yn)g(y)+0hf(s,yn(s))f(s,y(s))ds].

We can get with Assumption (g) and controlled convergence theorem that limnΓyn=Γy in C([0,h],Y). Based on the above and Lemma 3.3, Γ has at least one fixed point yC([0,h],Y) on Br, that is

y(t)=T(t)[y0g(y)]+0tT(ts)f(s,y(s))ds+0tT(ts)BPW~1×{y1T(h)[y0g(y)]0hT(hτ)f(τ,y(τ))dτ}(s)ds,t[0,h].

To prove the exact controllability of Equation (1.1), according to Definition 2.2, we only need to prove y(h)=y1 for the above uyL2([0,h],U). In fact, let

e:=y1T(h)[y0g(y)]0hT(hτ)f(τ,y(τ))dτ,[uy]=W~1e.

Obviously

W~[uy]=e=Wuy=0hT(hs)Buy(s)ds,uy[uy].

Furthermore,

y(h)=T(h)[y0g(y)]+0hT(hs)f(s,y(s))ds+0hT(hs)Buy(s)ds=T(h)[y0g(y)]+0hT(hs)f(s,y(s))ds+y1T(h)[y0g(y)]0hT(hτ)f(τ,y(τ))dτ=y1,

which indicates the exact controllability of Equation (1.1) on the interval[0,h]. □
