Abstract

We consider the infinite-dimensional dynamical control systems described by nonlinear impulsive stochastic evolution differential equations. Sufficient conditions for the complete controllability of nonlinear impulsive stochastic systems are formulated and proved under the reasonable assumption that the corresponding linear system is completely controllable.

1. Introduction

The impulsive differential systems are valuable tools in the modelling of many processes in which states are changed abruptly at certain moment of time, involving such fields as engineering, physics, and economics, and so forth; see [13]. It is well-known that the evolution differential system theory is a generalization of classical theory. So some partial differential systems can be changed into the abstract evolution systems by using semigroup technique. Then the researchers can easily discuss the properties of the partial differential systems by classical differential theory; for more details one can see [4].

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the controllability of the impulsive stochastic evolution systems driven by fractional Brownian motion as the following form:where generates an evolution system on a Hilbert space , . The control function takes value in , and is a Hilbert space, is a linear operator from into , , and is a fBm with Hurst index defined in a completely probability space . Further, and and represent the right and the left limits of at . Also, represents the jump in the state at time with determining, , is continuous for , and exist with , and is a random variable satisfying .

It is well-known that the noise or perturbations of a stochastic system are typically modeled by a Brownian motion, such as Gauss-Markov. This process has independent increments. However, many researchers have found that the standard Brownian motion is not an effective process in modeling through many physical phenomena. A family of process that seems to have wide physical applicability is fractional Brownian motion (fBm). This process was first introduced by Kolmogorov in 1940. Mandelbrot and Van Ness studied the applications of the fBm process soon after. Since then various forms of equations have been studied based on different settings. For example, the case of finite-dimensional equations has been studied by Besalú and Rovira [5], Unterberger [6], and Nguyen [7], and the case of infinite-dimensional equations in a Hilbert space has been considered by Boufoussi and Hajji [8], Caraballo et al. [9], and Ahmed [10].

One of the basic qualitative behaviors of a dynamical system is controllability, which was first researched by Kalman [11] in 1963. It means that it is possible to steer a dynamical control system from an arbitrary initial state to an arbitrary final state using the set of admissible controls. Many researchers have paid close attention to the study of the controllability for dynamical systems since then. There are many different methods for dealing with the controllability problems for various types of nonlinear stochastic systems. Subalakshmi and Balachandran [12] studied the approximate controllability of nonlinear stochastic impulsive systems in Hilbert spaces by using Nussbaum’s fixed point theorem. In [13], by using stochastic Lyapunov-like approach, sufficient conditions for stochastic -controllability are formulated. Balachandran et al. [14] researched the controllability of semilinear stochastic integrodifferential systems by using the Picard type iteration. By using the contraction mapping principle, Mahmudov and Zorlu studied the controllability [15] for nonlinear stochastic systems. Moreover, there are some researchers discussing the controllability for the stochastic system driven by fractional Brownian motion; for example, see [10, 16].

However, the above authors only consider that is an infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup. But in our work (1), generates an evolution system on a Hilbert space . If and , the works [7, 8] are the special cases. We only assume that the linear system is completely controllable. By using the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, Banach fixed point theorem, and so forth, we prove that the nonlinear system is completely controllable.

The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In the next section, we will introduce some useful preliminaries. In Section 3, some sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions of system (1). In Section 4, we will study the completely controllability for nonlinear impulsive stochastic evolution systems. Finally, we present an example to illustrate our main results.

2. Preliminaries

Now we introduce some basic definitions, preliminaries, and notations which are used throughout this paper.

In order to define the solution of problem (1), we introduce the space formed by all -adapted, -valued processes such that is continuous at and and exist with .

In this paper, we assume that is endowed with the norm Then, is a Banach space (see [17]).

We also introduce some basic definitions on fractional Brownian motion (fBm).

Let be a complete probability space with a filtration satisfying the standard conditions.

Definition 1. The fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with Hurst index is a Gaussian process , having the properties , , and

Let , for a linear space ; there exists -valued step function on , such that where , and For , the Wiener integral with respect to can be defined as

Let be a Hilbert space, which is defined as the closure of with respect to the scalar product Then the mapping is an isometry between and the linear space span , which can be extended to an isometry between and the first Wiener chaos of the fBm (see [18]). The image of an element by this isometry is called the Wiener integral of with respect to

Next we give an explicit expression of this integral.

Let us consider the Kernel where ( denote the Beta function) and . It is easily shown that

Let be the linear operator, which is defined as Then , and is an isometry between and which can be extended to .

One defines the -valued stochastic process as If is a nonnegative self-adjoint trace class operator, then converges in the space ; that is, it holds that . Then, we can say that is a -valued -cylindrical fBm with covariance operator .

Definition 3. Let such thatThen for , its stochastic integral with respect to the fBm is defined as where is a Wiener process.

Notice that ifthen in particular (15) holds, which follows immediately from (13).

The following lemma is obtained as a simple application of Lemma 2.

Theorem 8. Assume that hypotheses hold. Then for any the impulsive stochastic system (1) has a unique mild solution in provided that

Proof. Define an operator byBy using the Banach contraction mapping principle, we will show that the operator has a unique fixed point. To prove that, we divide the subsequent proof into two steps:
Step 1. For any , let us show that is continuous on in the -sense.
Let , here , and be sufficiently small. Then we obtainThen, by the strong continuous of and the Lebesgue’s dominated convergence theorem, we know that the right hand of (27) tends to 0 as . Hence, is continuous on in the -sense.
Step 2. We prove that is a contraction mapping. Let be two mild solutions of (1); thenInequality (28) equates toSince , we know that is a contraction mapping. Hence a unique fixed point in exists, which is the mild solution of problem (1).

4. Controllability Result

In this section, we discuss the controllability results for system (1). Before starting, we consider the following assumption:

To the readers’ convenience, we give the definitions of controllability as follows.

Definition 9. System (1) is said to be completely controllable on the interval ifthat is, all the points in can be exactly reached from arbitrary initial condition and at time .

Theorem 10. Assume that hypotheses hold. Then the impulsive stochastic system (1) is completely controllable on , if

To prove that, we divide the subsequent proof into two steps.
Step 1. For any , let us show that is continuous on in the -sense.
Let , here , and be sufficiently small. Then we obtain Then, by the strong continuous of and the Lebesgue’s dominated convergence theorem, we know that the right hand of (27) tends to 0 as . Hence, is continuous on in the -sense.
Step 2. We prove that is a contraction mapping.
Let be two mild solutions of (1); then We can easily show that Since we haveHence From above inequalities, we obtainSince therefore is a contraction mapping. A unique fixed point exists in , which is the mild solution of problem (1). Problem (1) is completely controllable on .

5. An Example

Consider the following semilinear stochastic differential equations of the following form:where is a bounded open set in are nonlinear functions, measurable with respect to and almost everywhere continuous with respect to , and continuous in the last two variables.

We define the function as follows:(i).(ii) is Lipschitz continuous with respect to and continuous differentiable in , and .

Let and ; then is dense in . By [20], the operator , defined byThen, system (45) can be rewritten as For the operator , we can obtain that there exist two constants , such that It is shown that are satisfied. Therefore, if we impose suitable conditions on and to ensure are satisfied, system (45) will be completely controllable by Theorem 10.
