Approximate controllability for abstract measure differential systems

In this paper, we investigate approximate controllability for abstract measure differential systems based on generalizing knowledge for ordinary differential systems. We first introduce new concepts of the reachable set and approximate controllability for abstract measure differential systems. Then based on the nonlinear alternative for α-condensing mapping in Banach space, we present sufficient conditions of approximate controllability for a class of abstract measure differential systems. Our results in dealing with approximate controllability are less conservative than those in the previous literature. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the availability of our results for approximate controllability.     

Approximate controllability of stochastic delay differential systems driven by Poisson jumps with instantaneous and noninstantaneous impulses

Control systems in which instantaneous and noninstantaneous impulses occur simultaneously are difficult to handle. In this article, we investigate the solvability and approximate controllability for a new category of stochastic differential equations steered by Poisson jumps with instantaneous and noninstantaneous impulses. Utilizing the theory of fundamental solution, stochastic analysis, the measure of noncompactness, and the fixed-point approach, we establish the presence of a mild solution for the proposed system. We have also constructed a new set of sufficient constraints that assures approximate controllability of the considered system. Next, we discuss the existence of a solution and approximate controllability for an impulsive deterministic control system in which the nonlinear term contains spatial derivatives. Lastly, two examples are presented to encapsulate the abstract results.     

Approximate controllability of abstract stochastic impulsive systems with multiple time‐varying delays

This paper investigates the approximate controllability of abstract stochastic impulsive systems with multiple time‐varying delays. The class of stochastic impulsive systems consists of ordinary differential equations effected by impulse and noise environment. We focus first on constructing the control function. With this control function, we present sufficient conditions for approximate controllability problems in Hilbert space. The results are then extended to more easily verified conditions. The methods we choose are mainly Nussbaum fixed point theorem and stochastic analysis techniques combined with a strongly continuous semigroup. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the results. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Constrained exact controllability of semilinear systems

In the paper infinite-dimensional dynamical control systems described by semilinear abstract differential equations are considered. Using a generalized open-mapping theorem, sufficient conditions for constrained exact local controllability are formulated and proved. It is generally assumed, that the values of admissible controls are in a convex and closed cone with vertex at zero. Constrained exact local controllability of semilinear abstract second-order dynamical systems are also formulated and proved. As an illustrative example, constrained exact local controllability problem for semilinear hyperbolic type distributed parameters dynamical system is solved in details. Some remarks and comments on the existing results for controllability of nonlinear dynamical systems are also presented.     

Approximate controllability of partial neutral functional differential systems of fractional order with state-dependent delay

We prove the approximate controllability of control systems governed by a class of partial neutral functional differential systems of fractional order with state-dependent delay in an abstract space. Sufficient conditions for approximate controllability of the control systems are established provided the approximate controllability of the corresponding linear control systems. The results are obtained by using the Krasnoselskii–Schaefer type fixed point theorem with the fractional power of operators. An example is provided to illustrate the main results.     

On the controllability of piecewise-linear hypersurface systems

This paper investigates the global controllability of piecewise-linear (hypersurface) systems, which are defined as control systems that are subject to affine dynamics on each of the components of a finite polyhedral partition. Various new tools are developed for the study of the problem including a classification of the facets of the polyhedra in the partition. Necessary and sufficient conditions for complete controllability are obtained via the study of a suitably defined controllability connection matrix of polyhedra.     

Controllability of second-order infinite-dimensional systems

In the paper, the approximate controllability of linear abstract second-order infinite-dimensional dynamical systems is considered. It is proved using the frequency-domain method, that approximate controllability of second-order system can be verified by the approximate controllability conditions for the corresponding simplified first-order system. General results are then applied for approximate controllability investigation of a vibratory dynamical system modeling flexible mechanical structure. Some special cases are also considered. Moreover, remarks and comments on the relationships between different concepts of controllability are given. The paper extends earlier results on approximate controllability of second-order abstract dynamical systems.

In this paper, we investigate the controllability of impulsive differential systems with random coefficients. Impulsive differential systems with random coefficients are a different stochastic model from stochastic differential equations. Sufficient conditions of sample controllability for impulsive differential systems with random coefficients are obtained by using random Sadovskii's fixed-point theorem. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our results.     

Existence and Controllability Results for a New Class of Impulsive Stochastic Partial Integro‐Differential Inclusions with State‐Dependent Delay

In this paper, we study a new class of impulsive stochastic partial integro‐differential inclusions with state‐dependent delay in separable Hilbert spaces. Firstly, by using stochastic analysis theory, analytic resolvent operators, fractional powers of closed operators and suitable fixed point theorems, we prove the existence of mild and extremal mild solutions for these systems in the α‐norm. Secondly, we establish the controllability of the controlled stochastic partial integro‐differential inclusions with not instantaneous impulses. The results are obtained under the mixed Lipschitz and Carathéodory conditions. Finally, an example is provided to show the application of our results.

The results are obtained by using semigroup theory, stochastic analysis techniques, fixed point approach and abstract phase space axioms. An example is provided to illustrate the application of the obtained results.

In this paper, we deal with the control systems described by a large class of fractional semilinear parabolic equations. Firstly, we reformulate the fractional parabolic equations into abstract fractional differential equations associated with a semigroup on an appropriate Banach space. Secondly, we introduce a suitable concept on a mild solution for this kind of fractional parabolic equations and present the existence and uniqueness of mild solution by utilizing the theory of semigroup of linear operator, nonlinear analysis method and fixed point theorem. Then, the approximate controllability of the fractional semilinear parabolic equations is formulated and proved. At the end of the paper, an example is given to illustrate our main results.

On the approximate controllability of semilinear fractional differential systems

Fractional differential equations have wide applications in science and engineering. In this paper, we consider a class of control systems governed by the semilinear fractional differential equations in Hilbert spaces. By using the semigroup theory, the fractional power theory and fixed point strategy, a new set of sufficient conditions are formulated which guarantees the approximate controllability of semilinear fractional differential systems. The results are established under the assumption that the associated linear system is approximately controllable. Further, we extend the result to study the approximate controllability of fractional systems with nonlocal conditions. An example is provided to illustrate the application of the obtained theory.     

Feedback stabilization of abstract neutral linear control systems

In this paper, the asymptotic stabilization of linear distributed parameter control systems of neutral type is considered. Specifically, we study control systems described by a special type of abstract neutral functional differential equation with finite delay. Assuming appropriate conditions, and using the spectral properties of quasi-compact semigroups, we show that the usual spectral controllability assumption implies the feedback stabilization of the system. We applied our results to the stabilization of several real systems of first and second order described by partial neutral functional differential equations.     

On Near‐controllability of Discrete‐time Upper‐triangular Bilinear Systems with Applications to Controllability

Near‐controllability is defined for those systems that are uncontrollable but have a large controllable region. It is a property of nonlinear control systems introduced recently, and it has been demonstrated on two classes of discrete‐time bilinear systems. This paper studies near‐controllability of discrete‐time upper‐triangular bilinear systems, which are uncontrollable and are more general than the two classes mentioned. A necessary and sufficient condition for the systems in dimension two to be nearly controllable is presented, which covers the existing results. For the systems with high dimensions, necessary conditions and sufficient conditions of near‐controllability are provided, which generalize the existing results. In particular, the obtained near‐controllability results are applied to controllability of discrete‐time bilinear systems. An example also is given to demonstrate the effectiveness, which shows that the controllability problems of discrete‐time bilinear systems can be solved by near‐controllability.     

Approximate controllability results for impulsive neutral differential inclusions of Sobolev-type with infinite delay

The paper is mainly concerned with the approximate controllability results for a class of impulsive neutral differential control systems. First, we establish a set of sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability for a class of impulsive differential inclusions of Sobolev-type with infinite delay. With the help of semigroup theory and Bohnenblust-Karlin's fixed point theorem, we prove our main results. Then, we extend the result to study the approximate controllability for a class of impulsive neutral differential inclusions of Sobolev-type with infinite delay. Finally, an example is also presented to illustrate our theoretical results.     

Controllability of heterogeneous multiagent systems

The existing results on controllability of multiagent systems (MASs) are mostly based on homogeneous nodes. This paper focuses on controllability of heterogeneous MASs, where the agents are modeled as two types. One type is that the agents have the same high‐order dynamics, and the interconnection topologies of the information flow in different orders are supposed to be different; the other type is that the agents have generic linear dynamics, and the dynamics are supposed to be heterogeneous. For the first type, the necessary and sufficient condition for controllability of heterogeneous‐topology system is derived via combination of Laplacian matrices. For the second type, the contribution also has two parts. The first part supposes that the agents have the same dimensional states and proves that controllability of this kind of MASs is equivalent to the controllability of each node and the whole interconnection topology, while the last parameter of the state feedback vector must not be 0. The second part supposes that the agents may have different dimensional states. For this kind of systems, the concept of β‐controllability is proposed. The necessary and sufficient condition for β‐controllability of heterogeneous‐dynamic systems is also derived and it is also proved that the feedback gain vectors have the effect to improve controllability. Different illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results in this paper.
