a b s t r a c t Many dynamical systems in physics, chemistry, biology and engineering sciences have impulsive dynamical behaviors due to abrupt jumps at certain instants during the dynamical processes. The mathematical models of such processes are called differential systems with impulse effect. This paper studies the exact controllability issue of certain types of second order nonlinear impulsive control differential systems. Sufficient conditions are formulated and proved for the exact controllability of such systems. Without imposing a compactness condition on the cosine family of operators, we establish controllability results by using a fixed point analysis approach. Finally, an example is presented to illustrate the utility of the proposed result. The results improve some recent results. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Many dynamical systems are characterized by the fact that at certain moments in their evolution they undergo rapid changes. In recent years the theory of impulsive differential systems has been emerging as an important area of investigation in applied sciences. The reason is that it is richer than the corresponding theory of classical differential equations and it is more adequate to represent some processes arising in various disciplines. The theory of impulsive systems provides a general framework for mathematical modeling of many real world phenomena. Moreover, these impulsive phenomena can also be found in fields such as information science, electronics, automatic control systems, robotics and telecommunications (see [19,24] and references therein). Control theory is an area of application-oriented mathematics which deals with basic principles underlying the analysis and design of control systems. It is well known that the study of controllability plays an important role in the control theory and engineering. In recent years, the study of impulsive control systems has received increasing interest, since dynamical systems with impulsive effects have great importance in applied sciences [see [27] and references therein]. This paper is concerned with the study of controllability of a second order nonlinear impulsive differential system of the form x00 (t ) = Ax(t ) + Bu(t ) + f (t , x(t ), x0 (t )), x(0) = x0 ,

A is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous cosine family of linear operators (C (t ))t ∈R on X , B : U → X is a linear bounded operator, 0 = t0 < t1 < · · · < tm < tm+1 = b, 4x(tk ) = x(tk+ ) − x(tk− ), 4x0 (tk ) = x0 (tk+ ) − x0 (tk− ), and j

Ik : X → X , j = 1, 2, f : J × X × X → X are appropriate continuous functions to be specified later. In the last few years many papers have been published about the global and local controllability of nonlinear systems, in which the authors effectively used fixed point techniques. The problem of controllability of first order nonlinear systems has been studied by several researchers [2,5,9,12,20–23] and also first-order impulsive differential equations have received much attention [3,8,17,18]. Li et al., [18] established sufficient conditions for the controllability of impulsive functional differential systems with finite delay whereas in [2] Benchohra et al. studied controllability of impulsive differential inclusions in Banach spaces. Recently, Chang [8] studied the controllability of first order impulsive functional systems with infinite delay using Scahuder’s fixed point theorem. In many cases it is advantages to treat second order abstract differential equations directly rather than convert them to first order systems. The study of abstract deterministic secondorder evolution equations governed by the generator of a strongly continuous cosine family was initiated by Fattorini [10], and subsequently studied by Travis and Webb [25,26]. The controllability result for second order nonlinear systems with and without nonlocal conditions has been studied by many authors [4,7,13,14]. The results in those papers are only applicable to ordinary differential equations since the compactness assumption assumed on the cosine function is valid if and only if the underlying space is finite dimensional. However, to the authors’ knowledge the corresponding theory for controllability of second order impulsive differential equations in abstract spaces has not been explored. In this paper, we derive results on exact controllability of second order impulsive differential systems without imposing a compactness condition on the semigroup of cosine family. Further, the result is extended to study the controllability of the nonlinear second order impulsive system with nonlocal conditions described in the form x00 (t ) = Ax(t ) + Bu(t ) + f (t , x(t ), x(0) = x0 + p(x, x ),

2. Preliminaries In this section, we review some basic concepts, notations and properties needed to establish our main results. Throughout this paper, A is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous cosine family, (C (t ))t ∈R , of bounded linear operators defined on a Banach space X endowed with a norm k.k. We denote by (S (t ))t ∈R the sine function associated to (C (t ))t ∈R which is defined by t

Moreover, M and M [D(A)] is the space D(A) = {x ∈ X : C (t )x is twice continuously differentiable in t}, endowed with the norm kxkA = kxk + kAxk, x ∈ D(A). Define E = {x ∈ X : C (t )x is once continuously differentiable in t} endowed with the norm kxkE = kxk + sup kAS (t )xk,

defined on D(A) × E. From this, it follows that AS (t ) : E → X is a bounded linear operator and that AS (t )x → 0 as t → 0, for each x ∈ E. Furthermore, if x : [0, ∞) → X is locally integrable function, then y(t ) =

For additional details concerning cosine function theory, we refer the reader to Fattorini [10] and Travis & Webb [25,26]. Additionally, for a bounded function ξ : J → X and t ∈ J, we employ the notation ξt for

ξt = sup{kξ (s)kX : s ∈ [0, t ]}. Let C ([0, b], X ) be the space of the bounded functions x : [0, b] → X such that x is continuous in t 6= tk , x is left continuous in each tk and x(tk+ ) exist. Also assume C ([0, b], X ) endowed with the uniform convergence norm. Finally C 1 ([0, b], X ) will be the space C 1 ([0, b], X ) = {(x, z ) : x, z ∈ C ([0, b], X ) and x0 (t ) = z (t ) for t 6= tk } provided with the norm k(x, z )k = kxkb + kz kb . Definition 2.1. Let xb (x0 , y0 ; u) be the state value of (1) at time b corresponding to the control u and the initial value x0 and y0 . Introduce the set R(b, x0 , y0 ) = {xb (x0 , y0 ; u)(0) : u(.) ∈ L2 (J , U )}. The system (1) is said to be exactly controllable on the interval J if R(b, x0 , y0 ) = X . Assume that the second order linear system x00 (t ) = Ax(t ) + Bu(t ), x(0) = x0 ,

t ∈J

Note 2.2. If X is infinite dimensional, the corresponding cosine family of semigroup C (t ) is compact and B is bounded, then the second order linear control system x00 (t ) = Ax(t ) + Bu(t ) is not exactly controllable. Definition 2.3.

Now for convenience, let us introduce the notation K = kBk. In order to establish the controllability result, we introduce the following technical hypothesis: (I) f : J × X × X → X is a continuous function and there exist positive constants K1 and K2 such that

kf (t , x, y) − f (t , x0 , y0 )k ≤ K1 kx − x0 k + K2 ky − y0 k for every x, x0 , y and y0 ∈ X (II) The linear system (3) is exactly controllable.

3. Controllability result Theorem 3.1. Let x0 ∈ E , y0 ∈ X . If the conditions (I)–(V) and max{φ1 , φ2 } < 1 are satisfied, then the second order impulsive control system (1) is exactly controllable. Proof. For (x, z ) ∈ C 1 ([0, b] : X ), define the nonlinear operator

Φ (x, z ) = (Φ1 (x, z ), Φ2 (x, z )), where

Z t Φ1 (x, z )(t ) = C (t )x0 + S (t )y0 + S (t − s)[Bu(s) + f (s, x(s), x0 (s))]ds 0 X X + C (t − tk )Ik1 (x(tk )) + S (t − tk )Ik2 (x0 (tk+ )), 0

Note that the control (5) transfers the system (4) from the initial state to the final state provided that the operator Φ has a fixed point. So if the operator Φ has a fixed point then the system (4) is exactly controllable. To prove the exact controllability, it is enough to show that the operator Φ has a fixed point in C 1 ([0, b], X ). The proof is based on the classical fixed point theorem for contractions. It follows from the assumptions that each Φi , i = 1, 2 is well defined and continuous. In order to prove that Φ is a contraction mapping on C 1 ([0, b] : X ), we take (x, z )(v, w) in C 1 ([0, b] : X ) From the conditions (I) and (III), we get 1 kΦ1 (x, z )(t ) − Φ1 (v, w)(t )k ≤ M˜ 2 K 2 b

The above inequalities (6) and (7) and the assumption max{φ1 , φ2 } < 1 imply that Φ is a contraction mapping. Hence there exists a unique fixed point x(·) in C 1 ([0, b], X ) which is the solution of Eq. (4). Thus the system (1) is exactly controllable.  4. Impulsive nonlocal differential systems The nonlocal condition is a generalization of the classical initial condition. The first results concerning the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to Cauchy problems with nonlocal conditions were studied by Byszewski [1]. Recently, the existence of mild and classical solutions for a class of second order nonlinear differential systems with nonlocal conditions has been studied in [15]. As indicated in [1,15] and the references therein, the nonlocal conditions can be applied in physics with better effect than the classical Cauchy problem, since more measurements are allowed. In this section, we consider the second order impulsive nonlocal system (2) governed by the evolution equation x(t ) = C (t )(x0 + p(x, x0 )) + S (t )(y0 + q(x, x0 )) +

The purpose of this section is to prove the exact controllability of the impulsive nonlocal system of the form (8) under the simple and fundamental assumption on the system operators, in particular that the corresponding linear system is appropriately controllable. Moreover, N and N˜ are positive constants such that kC (t )k ≤ N and kS (t )k ≤ N˜ for every t ∈ J. Concerning the operators f , p and q, assume the following hypothesis: (H1) The function f : J × X × X → X satisfies the following conditions; (i) The function f (t , ·) : X × X → X is continuous a.e.t ∈ J; (ii) The function f (·, x, y) : J → X is strongly measurable for each (x, y) ∈ X × X . (iii) There exists a constant k˜ f such that

kf (t , x1 , y1 ) − f (t , x2 , y2 )k ≤ k˜ f (kx1 − x2 k) + (ky1 − y2 k) for every x1 , x2 , y1 , y2 ∈ X . (H2) The functions p, q : C (I ; X ) × C (I ; X ) → X are continuous and there exist positive constants k˜ p , k˜ q such that kp(x1 , y1 ) − p(x2 , y2 )k ≤ k˜ p (kx1 − x2 k + ky1 − y2 k), kq(x1 , y1 ) − q(x2 , y2 )k ≤ k˜ q (kx1 − x2 k + ky1 − y2 k). for every x1 , x2 , y1 , y2 ∈ C (I ; X ).

˜ has a fixed point by employing the method used in the previous section. Then we One can easily prove that the operator Φ can show that the system (8) is exactly controllable by adopting the technique used in Theorem 3.1.  Remark 4.2. Differential inclusions play an important role in characterizing many social, physical, biological and engineering problems. In particular, the problems in physics, especially in solid mechanics, where non-monotone and multivalued constitutive laws lead to differential inclusions. The above result can be extended to study the controllability of second order nonlinear impulsive differential inclusions by suitably introducing the multivalued map defined in [4,6,13]. 5.

the system (9) can be modelled as (2). It is known that the linearized system associated with (9) is exactly controllable (see [9]). Therefore system (9) can be written in the abstract form (2). Thus by Theorem 4.1, the second order system (9) is exactly controllable. Example 5.2. Now, from a practical viewpoint, we remark that the physical motivation for the study of Eqs. (1) and (2) is related to the partial differential equation governing the dynamical buckling of a hinged extensible beam, which is stretched or compressed by an axial force. Mathematical models of this phenomenon have been studied in the paper [11,16]. In this paper, we shall consider this type of equation with control variable. A mathematical model for this problem is an initial boundary value problem for the nonlinear hyperbolic control equation of the form

It is well known that A is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous cosine family of operators on X . In order to write (10) in the abstract form (2), we need to express the various terms on the left side of (10) using certain fractional powers of A, as outlined in [11]; we recall the essential highlights of that discussion√ here for completeness. To begin, the eigenvalues of A are {λn = (nπ )4 |n ∈ N } with corresponding eigenvectors

Using these identifications together with the functions f , p, q, Ik1 , Ik2 , B defined as in Example 5.1, (10) can be written in the abstract form (2). In addition, one can use standard computations involving the inner product and properties of the fractional 1

powers of A to show that kA 4 z (t )k2 and kA 2 z (t )k2 are uniformly bounded on [0, b]. It is known that the linearized system associated with (10) is exactly controllable (see [9]). As such, (10) can be written in the abstract form (2) in X so that an application of Theorem 4.1 yields the exact controllability of (10) on [0, b].
