Abstract

In this paper, we shall establish sufficient conditions for the existence, approximate controllability, and Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability of solutions for impulsive integrodifferential equations of second order with state-dependent delay using the resolvent operator theory, the approximating technique, Picard operators, and the theory of fixed point with measures of noncompactness. An example is presented to illustrate the efficiency of the result obtained.

1. Introduction

In applied mathematics, control theory is crucial; it involves building and evaluating the control framework. Controllability analysis is used to solve a variety of real-world issues, such as issues with rocket launchers for satellite and aircraft control, issues with missiles and antimissile defense, and issues with managing the economy’s inflation rate. Over the last twenty years, a lot of work has been done for controllability of evolution equations [113].

In addition, a key aspect of the field of mathematical analysis study is stability analysis. The concept of Ulam stability is applicable in various branches of mathematical analysis and is used in the cases where finding the exact solution is very difficult. A number of researchers have been working on the study of Ulam-type stabilities of differential and integrodifferential equations recently, and they have produced some remarkable findings, see [1416], and the references therein.

During the past ten years, impulsive differential equations have attracted a lot of interest. Dynamic systems that contain jumps or discontinuities are represented using impulsive differential equations. In contrast, integrodifferential equations are found in many scientific fields where it is important to include aftereffect or delay (for example, in control theory, biology, ecology, and medicine). In fact, one always uses integrodifferential equations to describe a model that has heritable characteristics. As a result, these equations have attracted a lot of attention (see for instance, [1723]). In [24], the authors studied some local and global existence and uniqueness results for abstract differential equations with state-dependent argument.

Second-order nonautonomous differential systems have received a lot of interest. There is no need to transform a second-order differential system into a first-order system in order to solve it. Various second-order nonautonomous differential systems existence results are presented in [5, 20, 2529] and references therein.

In [30], Balachandran and Sakthivel considered the following integrodifferential system:where takes values in a Banach space with the norm and the control function is given in , a Banach space of admissible control functions, with being a Banach space. are given functions, and is a bounded linear operator from into . Here, .

In [8], the authors investigated the controllability of the functional differential equation with a random effect:where is a complete probability space with being the event space and being the probability function (see [31], for more information), is a given function, are given measurable functions, and is a real Banach space. is the control function defined in , a Banach space of admissible control functions with being a Banach space, and is a bounded linear operator from into . The main result is based upon a generalization of the classical Darbo fixed-point theorem and the concept of measure of noncompactness combined with the family of cosine operators.

Arthi and Balachandran et al. [32] considered the following abstract control system:where a Banach space of admissible control functions with being a Banach space and being a bounded linear operator; the function , is the phase space; are prefixed numbers; are appropriate functions.

Motivated by the abovementioned works, we derive some sufficient conditions for the existence, approximate controllability, and Ulam-type stability for impulsive integrodifferential equations of second order with state-dependent delay described in the form:where , , and , with . , are closed linear operators on , with dense domain , which is independent of , and ; the operator is defined by

The nonlinear term , and are given functions. The jumps at the points are given by and , in the states and , respectively, where stand for left and right limits of at . Similarly, stand for right and left limits of at . The jumps at the points are determined by the nonlinear functions , where . The control function is a given function in the Banach space of admissible control , where is also a Banach space. is a bounded linear operator from into , and is a Banach space.

The work is organized as follows: In section two, we recall some definitions and facts about the resolvent operator, Picard operator, and measure of noncompactness. In section three, we give the existence of mild solutions to the problem (4). Section four is devoted to approximate controllability of mild solution and section five to the generalized Ulam–Hyers–Rassias (U-H-R) stability. In the last section, we present an example to illustrate our main result.

2. Preliminaries

3. Existence of Mild Solutions

Definition 11. A function is called a mild solution of problem (1) if it satisfies

The following assumption will be needed throughout the paper: is a Carathéodory function, and there exist positive constants and continuous nondecreasing functions such thatfor . There exists a positive constant , such that for any bounded set and , and each , we havewith The function is continuous, and there exists , such thatLet Assume that hold, and there exist , , and , such that The functions are continuous, and there exist positive constants , such thatandwhere Set . We assume that is continuous. Moreover, we assume the following assumption:(i) The function is continuous from into , and there exists a continuous and bounded function such that

4. Controllability Results

Definition 15. The reachable set of system (1) is given by

In case , system (1) reduces to the corresponding linear system. The reachable set in this case is denoted by .

Definition 16. If , then the semilinear control system is approximately controllable on . Here, represents the closure of . Clearly, if , then the linear system is approximately controllable.

We define the operator as follows:

It is demonstrated that the approximate controllability of the linear system extends from the semilinear system, given certain conditions on the nonlinear component. Let us now consider the ensuing linear system:and the semilinear system

The following hypotheses must be introduced in order to demonstrate the main aim of this section, that is, the approximate controllability of system (5):(1) Linear system (4) is approximately controllable(2) Range of the operator is a subset of the closure of range of , i.e.,

Theorem 17. If hypotheses are verified, then system (1) is approximately controllable.

Proof. The mild solution of system (4) corresponding to the control is given byAssume the following system:Since , there exists a control function such thatNow, assume that is the mild solution of system (1) corresponding to given byThen, if , we get .
And, for , we haveNow, for any , we define the function , and from the definition of the function and Lemma 13, we obtainThen,Therefore, according to Lemma 2, we getBy taking suitable control function , we make arbitrary small. Therefore, the reachable set of (4) is dense in the reachable set of (70), which is dense in due to . Hence, the approximate controllability of (70) implies that of the semilinear control system (4).

5. Ulam–Hyers–Rassias Stability Results

Let and be nondecreasing and consider the following inequalities:

Let the space be

The following concepts are inspired by papers [14, 15] and references therein.

Remark 19. A function is a solution of inequality (6) if and only if there exist and , such that , and , , , , .

Remark 20. If is a solution of inequality (6) then is a solution of the following integral inequality:

We also need the following additional assumption to discuss about stability:. We assume that for a nondecreasing function , there exists , such that

Theorem 21. If , and are satisfied, withthen, equation (1) is generalized U-H-R stable with respect to .

Proof. Let be a solution of (6) and be the mild solution of (1) with and .

So, for , we haveThen,From Lemma 2, we getIn particular, if , then we have , and applying the abstract Gronwall lemma, we obtain . It follows thatNow, if , we getThen, if we putThus, we have for all which implies that (4) is generalized U-H-R stable with respect to .

6. An Example

Consider the following class of partial integrodifferential system:where , , .

Letbe the Hilbert space with the scalar product , and the normand the phase space be , the space of bounded uniformly continuous functions endowed with the following norm: . It is well known that satisfies the axioms and with and (see [41]). We define induced on as

Then, is the infinitesimal generator of a cosine function of operators on associated with sine function . In addition, has discrete spectrum which consists of eigenvalues for , with corresponding eigenvectors . The set is an orthonormal basis of . Applying this idea, we can write

The cosine family associated with is given by :and the sine function is given by

Thus, and is compact for all . We define on . Clearly, is a closed linear operator. Therefore, generates such that is compact and self-adjoint for all (see [26]).

We define the operators as follows:

The assumption holds under more suitable conditions on the operator . Furthermore, are fulfilled. Then, there exists a resolvent compact operator [26, 44].

Now, let be defined by , where is linearly continuous, and for , we put , such that holds, and let be continuous on .

We put , for , and define

These definitions allow us to depict system (7) in the abstract form (4).

Now, for , we have

So, are continuous nondecreasing functions, and we have

And for any bounded set , and , we get

Now, about , we obtain

Now, similar reasoning as in [28], if the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable, then system (7) is approximately controllable.

Furthermore, we have

Thus, all the assumptions of Theorem 21 are fulfilled. Consequently, the mild solution of problem (101) is generalized U-H-R stable.
