1. Introduction
This paper is devoted to prove the exact controllability of a semilinear retarded
equations under the influence of infinity delay, impulses and nonlocal conditions; verifying
once again the conjecture that says: The controllability is preserve under the influence of
delay, impulses and nonlocal conditions if some conditions are assumed. Specifically, we
shall prove that the controllability of the associated time dependent linear systems is
preserve by the following semilinear retarded system of differential equations with
impulses, infinite delays, and nonlocal conditions:

Next, we will define the space of normalized piecewise continuous function, denoted by
󰇛󰇛󰇠󰇜, as the set of functions such that their restriction to any interval of
the form 󰇟󰇠 is a piecewise continuous function. i.e.,

Adapting some ideas from Hale & Kato (1978), Liu (2000) and Liu, Naito, & Van Minh
(2003), we confider the function  satisfying the following conditions:
1. 󰇛󰇜,

3. is decreasing.
Remark 1.1. For example, we can consider the function as 󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜, with .
The following spaces will be defined in order to set our problem

turns out to be a Banach space.
So, the phase space for our problem will be

together with the norm 
Next, we are going to consider the following bigger space

As a consequence of Lemma 1.2, we get the following result
Lemma 1.3.  is a Banach space endowed with the following norm

Due to the fact that the function is defined on the entire real line, we can prove the
following lemma satisfying axiom A1)-iii) from Hale and Kato axiomatic theory for the
phase space. This Lemma play an important role in the prove of our main result.
In the same way, the following spaces are defined

Next, the most important definition will be given, which is the definition of controllability
for system (1,1):

the system (1.1) is said to be controllable on 󰇟󰇠 figure 1.
figure 1: Controllability definition.
One can find in the literature a large number of works on the controllability of linear systems
(Chukwu, 1991), including books, articles and monographs, see for example, Chukwu
(1992), Lee & Markus (1967), and Sontag (1998). However, the references about the
controllability of non-linear systems is limited, particularly for semilinear systems governed
by differential equations, in this regard, we can refer to the article of Lukes (1972) and the
book by Coron (2007) (see Theorem 3.40 and Corollary 3.41). On the other hand,
Vidyasager (1972) proved the controllability for semilinear systems using Schauder’s Fixed
Point Theorem and assuming that the non-linear term did not depend on the control u. Not
so, Dauer (1976) found condition on semilinear systems that turns out to be weaker than the
previous ones, which also allowed him to prove the controllability of such systems. But, Do
(1990) weakened the previous conditions on the non-linear term and was able to prove the
controllability of the semilinear systems; these new conditions generalize Dauer’s work; it
is good to mention that these conditions strongly depend on the associated linear system
(1.6) through its fundamental matrix; specifically the fundamental matrix 󰇛󰇜 of the linear
system 󰆒󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜, which is in general not available in closed form. We must
emphasize that in all these systems the influence of impulses, non-local conditions and delay
Novasinergia 2022, 5(2), 06-22 10
is not taking into account.
There are many concepts of controllability depending on whether the control variable has
restrictions, such as local controllability, which has been strongly studied by Chukwu (1979,
1980, 1987, 1991, 1992), Mirza & Womack (1972), Sinha & Yokomoto (1980), and Sinha (1985).
But as far as we know, these studies are also not influenced by impulses, non-local
conditions and delay, simultaneously, which is an open problem.
The controllability of differential equations with impulses, nonlocal condition and delay is
at its peak at the moment, many mathematicians and engineers are devoted to the study of
such equations; for example, for infinite dimensional systems governed by evolution
equations, we can look at the works done by Nieto & Tisdell (2010) and Zhu & Lin (2012).
Moreover, the work done in Leiva (2014a, 2014b) can be formulated in infinite dimension
spaces. For infinite dimensional systems one can see Selvi & Mallika (2012), which studied
the controllability of impulsive differential systems with finite delay by using measures of
noncompactness and Monch’s Fixed Point Theorem. In Leiva (2014a, 2014b) the Rothe’s
fixed point Theorem has been applied to prove the controllability of semilinear systems with
impulses, which is the essential motivation for doing this work.
For infinite-dimensional Banach spaces, we are sure that some ideas presented here can be
used to address also the controllability of evolution equations with impulses, delays, and
nonlocal conditions simultaneously, and the nonlinear term involving all the variables, the
time, the state , and the control. On the other hand, some results from Carrasco, Leiva,
Sanchez, & Tineo (2014), Leiva (2014a), and Leiva & Merentes (2015) give us a good ideas
to do this work.
In order to conclude this section, we will set the following result.
Lemma 1.5. For all function  the following estimate holds for all 󰇟󰇠:


following corresponding differential equation

Proposition 2.2. The systems (6) is controllable on 󰇟󰇠 if, and only if, 󰇛󰇜.
Also, we will use the following result from Curtain & Pritchard (1978) and Curtain & Zwart

Lemma 2.3. Let and be Hilbert space, 󰇛󰇜 and 󰇛󰇜 the adjoint operator.

The following proposition follows trivially from the definition of the operator .
Proposition 3.1. The Semilinear System (1.1) with impulses, infinite delay, and nonlocal
conditions is controllable if, and only if, for all initial state and a final state the
operator given by Leiva & Zambrano (1999), Liu (2000) and Liu et al. (2003) has a fixed

Proof. We shall prove this theorem by claims.
Statement 1. The operator is continuous. In fact, to prove the continuity of , it is enough
to prove the continuity of the operators and defined above.
The continuity of follows from the continuity of the nonlinear functions 󰇛󰇜,
󰇛󰇜, 󰇛󰇜 and the following estimate

and 
The continuity of the operator follows from the continuity of the operators and
define above.
Statement 2. maps bounded sets of 󰇛󰇛󰇠󰇜󰇛󰇟󰇠󰇜 into
equicontinuous sets of 󰇛󰇛󰇠󰇜󰇛󰇟󰇠󰇜.
Consider the following equality
󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜
󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜
Let 󰇛󰇛󰇠󰇜󰇛󰇟󰇠󰇜 be a bounded set. The equicontinuity for 󰇛󰇜
is given by the equicontinuity of each one of its components 󰇛󰇜, 󰇛󰇜, which are
obtained from the continuity of 󰇛󰇜 and the following estimates 󰇛󰇜
󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜
Since 󰇛󰇜 is continuous 󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜 goes to zero as and so does the
Novasinergia 2022, 5(2), 06-22 15
sum and the integral from to , which implies that 󰇛󰇜 is equicontinuous. Moreover,
the equicontinuity of 󰇛󰇜 follows from the continuity of the evolution operator 󰇛󰇜.
Hence, maps bounded sets into equicontinuous sets.
Statement 3. The set 󰇛󰇜 is relatively compact. Indeed, let be a bounded subset of
󰇛󰇛󰇠󰇜󰇛󰇟󰇠󰇜. By the continuity of , , and , for 󰇛󰇜 it
follows that
󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜
where 󰇛󰇜󰇟󰇠󰇝󰇛󰇛󰇛󰇜󰇜󰇞 , , , . Therefore,
󰇛󰇜 is uniformly bounded. Now, we consider a sequence a 󰇝󰇛󰇜󰇞 in
󰇛󰇜. Since 󰇝󰇞 is contained in 󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇟󰇠󰇜 and 󰇛󰇜 is an
uniformly bounded and equicontinuous family, by Arzelà-Ascoli Theorem we can assume,
without loss of generality, that 󰇝󰇞 converges. On the other hand, since
󰇝󰇞 is contained in 󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇛󰇠󰇜, then 󰇛󰇠
󰇛󰇜, . Taking into account that 󰇝󰇞 is bounded and
equicontinuous in 󰇟󰇠, we can apply Arzelà-Ascoli Theorem to ensure the existence of a
subsequence 󰇝
󰇞 of 󰇝󰇞, which is uniformly convergent on 󰇟󰇠.
Now, consider the sequence 󰇝
󰇞 on the interval 󰇟󰇠. On this interval the
sequence 󰇝
󰇞 is uniformly bounded and equicontinuous, and for the same
reason, it has a subsequence 󰇝
󰇞 uniformly convergent on 󰇟󰇠. In this way, for the
intervals 󰇟󰇠, 󰇟󰇠, , 󰇟󰇠, we see that the sequence 󰇝
󰇞 converges
uniformly on the interval 󰇟󰇠.
Besides, in the interval 󰇟󰇠 the function  is piecewise continuous, then repeating
the foregoing process we can assume that the subsequence 󰇝󰇛

󰇜
󰇞 converges in 󰇛󰇜. This means that 󰇛󰇜 is compact, i.e., 󰇛󰇜 is relatively
compact.

Statement 5. The operator has a fixed point. In fact, by Statement 4, we know that for a
fixed there exists big enough such that
󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜
Hence, if we denote by 󰇛󰇜 the closed ball of center zero and radius , we get that

󰇛󰇜, we can apply Rothe’s fixed point theorem 1.6 to ensure the existence of a fixed point

Proof Let us consider any of the conditions 󰇜󰇜. Then, from the estimates obtained in
Statement 4, we get that

Hence, there exists such that

Then, analogously to the previous theorem the proof of Theorem 3.3 immediately follows
by applying Proposition 3.1.
4. Example
In this section, we present an example to illustrate our results. In this regard, we will
apply Theorem 3.2 to the semilinear time dependent control system with impulses, delay
and nonlocal conditions given by

From Leiva & Zambrano (1999), if the Kalman’s rank condition holds true
󰇟󰇠
then the following time dependent linear system
󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇟󰇠
with 󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜, 󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜, is exactly controllable on 󰇟󰇠(Leiva & Zambrano,
1999). Here, the nonlinear terms and the impulsive functions are given as follows

Then
󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜
and since and ,  are bounded, the conditions (1.2)-(1.5) are satisfied.
Hence, the system (29) is exactly controllable on 󰇟󰇠.
Final Remark
In this paper, we have proved that the controllability is robust in the presence of
impulses, infinite delay, and nonlocal conditions. This happens for many real life control
systems where impulses, delays, and nonlocal conditions are intrinsic phenomena of the
system. Moreover, in several papers we have shown that the influence of impulses do not
destroy the controllability of some known systems like the heat equation, the wave equation
and the strongly damped wave equation (Carrasco et al., 2014; Leiva, 2014b, 2015; Leiva &
Merentes, 2015). Therefore, the same ideas presented in this work to prove the exact
controllability can be used to prove the controllability of infinite dimensional systems in
Hilbert spaces where the dynamical is given by the infinitesimal generator of a compact
Novasinergia 2022, 5(2), 06-22 19
semigroup 󰇝󰇛󰇜󰇞, in this case we only get approximate controllability of the system.
