Abstract
This paper deals with the finite-approximate controllability for a class of fractional stochastic evolution equations with nonlocal initial conditions in a Hilbert space. We establish sufficient conditions for the finite-approximate controllability of the control system when the compactness conditions or Lipschitz conditions for the nonlocal term and uniform boundedness conditions for the nonlinear term are not required. The discussion is based on the fixed point theorem, approximation techniques and diagonal argument. In the end, an example is presented to illustrate the abstract theory. Our result improves and extends some relevant results in this area.

1 Introduction
In this paper, we shall be concerned with the finite-approximate controllability (see Definition 2.8 in Sect. 2) for following fractional evolution equations with nonlocal initial conditions of the form
where \({}^{c}D_{t}^{\alpha}\) is the Caputo fractional derivative of order \(\frac{1}{2}<\alpha\leq1\), and
Let \(\mathbb{H}\), \(\mathbb{K}\) be two separable Hilbert spaces and the state \(x(\cdot)\) takes its values in \(\mathbb{H}\). Also \(A:D(A)\subset\mathbb{H}\rightarrow\mathbb{H}\) is a closed linear operator and −A is the infinitesimal generator of a \(C_{0}\)-semigroup \(T(t)\) (\(t\geq0\)) on \(\mathbb{H}\). For convenience, we will use the same notation \(\|\cdot\|\) to denote the norms in \(\mathbb{H}\) and \(\mathbb{K}\), and \(\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle\) to denote the inner product of \(\mathbb{H}\) and \(\mathbb{K}\) without any confusion. We are also employing the same notation \(\|\cdot\|\) for the norm of \(L(\mathbb{K},\mathbb{H})\), which denotes the space of all bounded linear operators from \(\mathbb{K}\) into \(\mathbb{H}\). Suppose that \(\{W(t) : t \geq0\}\) is a \(\mathbb{K}\)-valued Brownian motion or Wiener process with a finite trace nuclear covariance operator \(Q \geq0\) defined on a filtered complete probability space \((\varOmega,\mathcal{F},\{\mathcal{F}_{t}\}_{t\geq0}, P)\). The control function \(u(\cdot)\) belongs to the space \(L_{\mathcal{F}}^{2}(J, \mathbb{U})\), a Banach space of admissible control functions, for a separable Hilbert space \(\mathbb{U}\), \(B:\mathbb{U}\rightarrow\mathbb{H}\) is a bounded linear operator, while f, σ and h are appropriate functions to be given later.
It is well known that nonlocal problems have better properties in applications than the classical ones, so differential equations with nonlocal initial conditions have been studied by many authors, see [1–13] and the references therein. However, in order to establish the main results, the assumption of compactness or Lipschitz condition on the nonlocal term plays an important role in these articles. But this restriction is too strong and is not usually satisfied in practical applications.
Recently, Liang, Liu, and Xiao [14] investigated the existence of mild solutions for a class of nonlocal Cauchy problem under the hypothesis that the nonlocal term g satisfies the condition
- (H)
For any \(u, w\in C([0, b];E)\), there exists a constant \(\delta\in(0, b)\) such that \(u(t)=w(t)\) (\(t\in[\delta, b]\)) implies \(g(u)=g(w)\).
Note that assumption (H) is for the case when the values of the solution \(x(t)\) for t near zero do not affect \(g(x)\). With the help of assumption (H), the authors relaxed the compactness and Lipschitz continuity on the nonlocal item g.
On the other hand, controllability for various linear and nonlinear dynamical systems have been considered in many publications by using different approaches due to its applications in many fields of science and engineering, see [15–32]. It should be emphasized that there are many different notions of controllability for dynamical systems, for example, approximate controllability, exact controllability, null controllability, and so on. There have been many papers on the approximate controllability for semilinear evolution systems in abstract spaces, see [16–21, 32] and the references therein. Several authors have studied exact controllability for differential control systems, see [22–25] and the references therein. It is worth mentioning that [15] studied simultaneous approximate and finite-dimensional exact controllability (finite-approximate controllability) of the following control system:
where \(f:[0, T]\times X\rightarrow X\), \(g:C([0, T], X)\rightarrow X\), and X is a Hilbert space. In this paper, finite-approximate controllability means that system (1.3) is approximately controllable in X as well as exactly controllable in a finite dimensional subspace \(E\subset X\). The author obtained sufficient conditions for the finite-approximate controllability of system (1.3) when the nonlocal term g satisfies Lipschitz-type conditions and the nonlinear term f satisfies a growth condition.
In recent years, stochastic differential equations have attracted great interest due to their successful applications to problems in mechanics, electricity, economics, physics, and several fields in engineering. For details, see [33–39] and the references therein. In particular, some researchers investigated controllability of stochastic dynamical control systems in infinite-dimensional spaces, see [26–31]. However, there are few works that have reported about the study of controllability problems for stochastic evolution equations with nonlocal conditions, see [30, 31], and the authors suppose that the nonlocal item g is a completely continuous map in these papers.
Inspired by the above discussions, especially [15], in this work, we will study the finite-approximate controllability for (1.1). The first novelty of this article is the finite-approximate controllability which is a stronger version of the controllability concept. Up to now, no one has studied the finite-approximate controllability for a stochastic system, this paper fills this gap in the literature. The second novelty of this article is that the nonlocal term \(g(x)\) defined by (1.2) depends on all values of x on the whole interval \([0, b]\), so the methods used in [14] are not valid for the present paper. By using stochastic analysis, approximation techniques, diagonal argument, and Schauder fixed-point theorem, the finite-approximate controllability results are established under weaker conditions in which \(g(x)\) is not necessarily Lipschitz continuous or has some compactness property. More precisely, the nonlocal term \(g(x)\) depends on all the values of x in the whole interval \([0, b]\), is only continuous and satisfies some weak growth condition. The third novelty of this article is that in almost all the articles on the topic of approximate controllability, for example, see [16–21, 28–31], the authors always require the nonlinear term f be uniformly bounded. In the present work we delete this restriction, and only need the nonlinear term which satisfies some natural growth conditions. So the theorems obtained here extend and complement those obtained in [16–21, 28–31]. In addition, as a special case, the methods used in the present paper can be applied to study the finite-approximate controllability of deterministic systems with nonlocal conditions by suitably introducing the abstract space and norm. The corresponding results that appear are also new.
We organize the paper in the following way: In Sect. 2, we introduce some useful definitions and preliminary results to be used in this paper. In Sect. 3, we state and prove finite-approximate controllability results for fractional stochastic evolution equation with nonlocal conditions. Finally, in Sect. 4, an example is provided to illustrate the applications of the obtained results.
2 Preliminaries
In this section, we introduce notations, definitions, and preliminary facts which are used throughout this article.
Let \((\varOmega,\mathcal{F},\{\mathcal{F}_{t}\}_{t\geq0}, P)\) be a filtered complete probability space satisfying the usual conditions, which means that the filtration is a right-continuous increasing family and \(\mathcal{F}_{0}\) contains all P-null sets. Let \(\{e_{k}, k\in\mathbb{N}\}\) be a complete orthonormal basis of \(\mathbb{K}\). We denote by \(\{W(t) : t \geq0\}\) a cylindrical \(\mathbb{K}\)-valued Brownian motion or Wiener process defined on the probability space \((\varOmega,\mathcal{F},\{\mathcal{F}_{t}\}_{t\geq0}, P)\) with a finite trace nuclear covariance operator \(Q \geq0\), and we let \(\operatorname{Tr}(Q)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\lambda_{k}=\lambda<\infty \), which implies that \(Qe_{k} = \lambda_{k}e_{k}\), \(k\in\mathbb{N}\). Let \(\{W_{k}(t), k\in\mathbb{N}\}\) be a sequence of one-dimensional standard Wiener processes mutually independent on \((\varOmega,\mathcal{F},\{\mathcal{F}_{t}\}_{t\geq0}, P)\) such that
Furthermore, we assume that \(\mathcal{F}_{t} = \sigma\{W(s), 0 \leq s \leq t\}\) is the σ-algebra generated by W and \(\mathcal{F}_{b}=\mathcal{F}\).
Let \(L_{2}^{0}=L_{2}(Q^{\frac{1}{2}}\mathbb{K}, \mathbb{H})\) denote the space of all Hilbert–Schmidt operators from \(Q^{\frac{1}{2}}\mathbb{K}\) into \(\mathbb{H}\) with the inner product \(\langle\phi, \varphi\rangle= \operatorname{Tr}(\phi Q\varphi ^{\ast})\). It also turns out to be a separable Hilbert space. The collection of all \(\mathcal{F}_{b}\)-measurable, square-integrable \(\mathbb{H}\)-valued random variables, denoted \(L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H})\), is a Banach space equipped with the norm \(\|x\|_{L^{2}}=(\mathbb{E}\|x(\omega)\|^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}\), where \(\mathbb{E}\) denotes the expectation with respect to the measure P. Let \(C([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\) be the Banach space of all continuous mappings from \([0,b]\) to \(L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H})\) satisfying \(\sup_{t\in[0,b]}(\mathbb{E}\|x(t)\|^{2})<\infty\). We use \(\mathcal{H}([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\) to denote the space of all \(\mathcal{F}_{t}\)-adapted measurable processes \(x\in C([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\) endowed with the norm \(\|x\|_{\mathcal{H}}=(\sup_{t\in[0,b]}\mathbb{E}\|x(t)\|^{2})^{ \frac{1}{2}}\). The theory of stochastic integrals in Hilbert space can be found in [37, 39].
In the rest of the manuscript, we suppose that A generates a compact \(C_{0}\)-semigroup \(T(t)\) (\(t\geq0\)) of uniformly bounded linear operators in \(\mathbb{H}\). That is, there exists a positive constant \(M\geq1\) such that \(\|T(t)\|\leq M\) for all \(t\geq0\). For any constant \(r > 0\), let \(B_{r} = \{x \in\mathcal{H}([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H})) : \|x \|_{\mathcal{H}}^{2}\leq r\}\). Evidently, \(B_{r}\) is a bounded closed convex set in \(\mathcal{H}([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\).
By [40, Proposition 2.8], we have the following result which will be used throughout this paper.
Lemma 2.1
If\(h: [0,b]\times\mathbb{H}\rightarrow L(\mathbb{K}, \mathbb{H})\)is continuous and\(x\in C([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\), then
Definition 2.2
([41])
The Riemann–Liouville fractional integral of order \(\alpha>0\) of a function \(y:(0, +\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) is given by
provided the right-hand side is pointwise defined on \((0,+\infty)\).
Definition 2.3
([41])
The Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative of order \(\alpha>0\) of a function \(y:[0, +\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) is given by
where \(n=[\alpha]+1\), provided that the right-hand side is pointwise defined on \((0,+\infty)\).
Definition 2.4
([41])
The Caputo fractional derivative of order \(\alpha>0\) of a function \(y:[0, +\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) is given by
where \(n=[\alpha]+1\), provided that the right-hand side is pointwise defined on \((0,+\infty)\).
Remark 2.5
-
(i)
If \(y(t)\in C^{n}[0,+\infty)\), then
$$ {}^{c}D_{0}^{\alpha}y(t)=\frac{1}{\varGamma(n-\alpha)} \int_{0}^{t} \frac{y^{(n)}(s)}{(t-s)^{\alpha-n+1}} \,ds=I_{0}^{n-\alpha}y^{(n)}(t). $$ -
(ii)
If \(y(t)\) is an abstract function with values in E, then the integrals which appear in Definition 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 are taken in Bochner’s sense.
-
(iii)
The Caputo derivative of a constant is equal to zero.
For \(x \in\mathbb{H}\), we define two operators \(\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)) and \(\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)) as follows:
where
Here \(\zeta_{\alpha}(\theta)\) is a probability density function defined on \((0,+\infty)\), that is,
The following properties of the operators \(\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)) and \(\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)), which can be found in [6, 7], will be needed in our arguments.
Lemma 2.6
The operators\(\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)) and\(\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)) satisfy the following properties:
- (i)
For any fixed\(t \geq0\), \(\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)\)and\(\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t)\)are linear and bounded operators in\(\mathbb{H}\), i.e., for any\(x \in\mathbb{H}\),
$$ \bigl\Vert \mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)x \bigr\Vert \leq M \Vert x \Vert ,\qquad \bigl\Vert \mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t)x \bigr\Vert \leq \frac{ M}{\varGamma(\alpha)} \Vert x \Vert . $$(2.3) - (ii)
For every\(x \in\mathbb{H}\), \(t \rightarrow\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)x\)and\(t \rightarrow\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t)x\)are continuous functions from\([0,\infty)\)into\(\mathbb{H}\).
- (iii)
The operators\(\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)) and\(\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)) are strongly continuous.
- (iv)
If the semigroup\(T(t)\)is compact, then\(\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)\)and\(\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t)\)are also compact operators in\(\mathbb{H}\)for\(t > 0\), and hence they are norm-continuous.
In this paper, we adopt the following definition of the mild solution of (1.1).
Definition 2.7
For any given \(u\in L_{\mathcal{F}}^{2}([0,b], \mathbb{U})\), a stochastic process x is said to be a mild solution of (1.1) on \([0,b]\) if \(x\in\mathcal{H}([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\) and
- (i)
\(x(t)\) is measurable and adapted to \(\mathcal{F}_{t}\);
- (ii)
\(x(t)\) satisfies the following integral equation:
$$ \begin{aligned} x(t)&=\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)g(x)+ \int_{0}^{t}(t-s)^{ \alpha-1} \mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t-s)\bigl[f\bigl(s, x(s)\bigr)+Bu(s)\bigr]\,ds \\ &\quad {} + \int_{0}^{t}(t-s)^{\alpha-1} \mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t-s) \sigma\bigl(s, x(s)\bigr)\,dW(s). \end{aligned} $$
Let E be a finite-dimensional subspace of \(L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H})\) and denote by \(\pi_{E}\) the orthogonal projection from \(L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H})\) onto E. Let \(x(b;u)\) be the state value of system (1.1) at terminal time b corresponding to control u. The set \(\mathcal{R}(b)=\{x(b;u): u\in L_{\mathcal{F}}^{2}(J, \mathbb{U})\}\) is called the reachable set of (1.1) at the terminal time b.
Definition 2.8
-
(a)
The fractional stochastic control system (1.1) is called approximately controllable on the interval \([0, b]\) if \(\overline{\mathcal{R}(b)}=L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H})\).
-
(b)
For \(x_{b}\in L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H})\) and \(\varepsilon>0\), the fractional stochastic control system (1.1) is called finitely-approximately controllable on the interval \([0, b]\) if there exists a control \(u_{\varepsilon} \in L_{\mathcal{F}}^{2}(J, \mathbb{U})\) such that the corresponding solution \(x(b;u_{\varepsilon})\) of (1.1), satisfies the conditions
$$\begin{aligned}& \mathbb{E} \bigl\Vert x(b;u_{\varepsilon})-x_{b} \bigr\Vert ^{2}< \varepsilon, \end{aligned}$$(2.4)$$\begin{aligned}& \pi_{E}x(b;u_{\varepsilon})=\pi_{E}x_{b}. \end{aligned}$$(2.5)
This means that the control \(u_{\varepsilon}\) can be chosen such that \(x(b;u_{\varepsilon})\) satisfies (2.4) and simultaneously a finite number of constraints, that is, condition (2.5).
To prove the main result, we need the following restrictions:
- (H1)
The function \(f:[0, b]\times\mathbb{H}\rightarrow\mathbb{H}\) is Carathéodory continuous, in addition, there exist a function \(\xi_{f}\in L([0, b], \mathbb{R}^{+})\) and a nondecreasing continuous function \(\varPsi_{f}:\mathbb{R}^{+}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{+}\) such that
$$ \mathbb{E} \bigl\Vert f(t, x) \bigr\Vert ^{2}\leq\xi _{f}(t)\varPsi_{f}\bigl(\mathbb{E} \| x\| ^{2}\bigr), \quad \text{a.e. } t \in[0, b], \forall x \in\mathbb{H}. $$ - (H2)
The function \(\sigma:[0, b]\times\mathbb{H}\rightarrow L_{2}^{0}\) is Carathéodory continuous, in addition, there exist a function \(\xi_{\sigma}\in L^{\frac{1}{q}}([0, b], \mathbb{R}^{+})\) for constant \(q\in(0, 2\alpha-1)\) and a nondecreasing continuous function \(\varPsi_{\sigma}:\mathbb{R}^{+}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{+}\) such that
$$ \mathbb{E} \bigl\Vert \sigma(t, x) \bigr\Vert _{L_{2}^{0}}^{2} \leq\xi_{\sigma}(t) \varPsi_{\sigma}\bigl(\mathbb{E}\| x \|^{2}\bigr),\quad \text{a.e. } t \in[0, b], \forall x\in \mathbb{H}. $$ - (H3)
\(g : \mathcal{H}\rightarrow\mathbb{H}\) is continuous and \(h:[0, b]\times\mathbb{H}\rightarrow\mathbb{H}\) is Carathéodory continuous, in addition, there exist function \(\xi_{h}\in L([0, b], \mathbb{R}^{+})\) and a nondecreasing continuous function \(\varPsi_{h}:\mathbb{R}^{+}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{+}\) such that
$$ \mathbb{E} \bigl\Vert h(t, x) \bigr\Vert ^{2}\leq\xi _{h}(t)\varPsi_{h}\bigl(\mathbb{E} \| x\| ^{2}\bigr), \quad \text{a.e. } t \in[0, b], \forall x \in\mathbb{H}. $$ - (H4)
The linear fractional differential system
$$ x(t)=\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)x_{0}+ \int_{0}^{t}(t-s)^{\alpha-1} \mathcal{S}_{\alpha}(t-s)Bu(s)\,ds $$(2.6)is approximately controllable in \([0, b]\).
It is known that system (2.6) approximately controllable on \([0, b]\) if and only if the condition \(B^{\ast}\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}^{\ast}(b-s)\phi=0\), \(0 \leq s\leq b\) implies that \(\phi=0\).
For any \(\varepsilon>0\), \(\phi\in\mathbb{H}\) and \(x\in\mathcal{H}([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\), we define an important functional
where
Lemma 2.9
Suppose that Assumptions (H1)–(H3) are satisfied. Then the following conditions hold:
- (i)
pis continuous in\(B_{r}\);
- (ii)
\(\{p(x): x\in B_{r}\}\)is relatively compact in\(\mathbb{H}\).
Proof
Let \(x_{n}\rightarrow x\) in \(B_{r}\), then we have
Moreover, for any \(t\in[0, b]\), using Hölder inequality and Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, we can get
On the other hand, from Lemma 2.1, Hölder inequality and Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, we obtain
Meanwhile, by (H3), we see that
According to the inequality obtained above, we obtain the following relation:
Therefore, p is continuous in \(B_{r}\).
Next, we prove (ii). For all \(\epsilon\in(0, b)\) and all \(\nu>0\), define an operator \(F^{\epsilon,\nu}\) on \(B_{r}\) by the formula
Then the set \(\{(F^{\epsilon,\nu}x)(b): x\in B_{r}\}\) is relatively compact in \(\mathbb{H}\) because \(T(\epsilon^{\alpha}\nu)\) is compact. We denote
for any \(x\in B_{r}\). Applying (H1)–(H3), Lemmas 2.1 and 2.6, and Hölder inequality, we have
Therefore, there are relatively compact sets arbitrarily close to the set \(\{(F_{1}x)(b):x\in B_{r}\}\) in \(\mathbb{H}\). Hence the set \(\{(F_{1}x)(b):x\in B_{r}\}\) is relatively compact in \(\mathbb{H}\). Combining this fact with the compactness of \(\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(b)\), it follows that \(\{p(x): x\in B_{r}\}\) is relatively compact in \(\mathbb{H}\).
This completes the proof of Lemma 2.9. □
Lemma 2.10
Suppose that Assumptions (H1)–(H4) are satisfied. Then the functional\(J_{\varepsilon}\)satisfies the following properties:
- (i)
For\(x\in\mathcal{H}([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\), the map\(\phi\rightarrow J_{\varepsilon}(\phi,x)\)is continuous and strictly convex;
- (ii)
For any\(r>0\),
$$ \varliminf_{(\mathbb{E} \Vert \phi \Vert ^{2})^{\frac {1}{2}}\rightarrow \infty} \inf_{x\in B_{r}} \frac{J_{\varepsilon}(\phi,x)}{(\mathbb{E} \Vert \phi \Vert ^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}} \geq\varepsilon. $$(2.11)
Proof
(i) From the definition of \(J_{\varepsilon}(\phi,x)\), it is easy to see that \(\phi\rightarrow J_{\varepsilon}(\phi,x)\) is continuous and strictly convex.
(ii) If (ii) does not hold, there exist sequences \(\{x_{n}\}\subset\mathcal{H}([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\) and \(\{\phi_{n}\}\subset\mathbb{H}\) with \((\mathbb{E}\|\phi_{n}\|^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}\rightarrow\infty\) such that
By Lemma 2.9, the set \(\{p(x_{n}): x_{n}\in B_{r}\}\) is relatively compact in \(\mathbb{H}\). Hence there is a subsequence, still denoted by \(p(x_{n})\), that strongly converges to, say, \(p_{0}\) in \(\mathbb{H}\).
We normalize \(\phi_{n}\) as \(\widetilde{\phi}_{n}= \frac{\phi_{n}}{(\mathbb{E}\|\phi_{n}\|^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}}\). Evidently, \(\|\widetilde{\phi}_{n}\|_{L^{2}}=1\), so we can extract a subsequence (still denoted by \(\widetilde{\phi}_{n}\)), which weakly converges to an element ϕ̃ in \(\mathbb{H}\). By the compactness of \(T(t)\), we infer that \(B^{\ast}\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}^{\ast}(b-s)\widetilde{\phi}_{n}\) strongly converges to \(B^{\ast}\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}^{\ast}(b-s)\widetilde{\phi}\). By (2.7), we obtain
Observe that (2.12) and Fatou lemma implies that
By (H4), we get \(\widetilde{\phi}=0\), that is, \(\widetilde{\phi}_{n}\) weakly converges to 0 in \(\mathbb{H}\). As E is finite-dimensional, the orthogonal projection \(\pi_{E}\) is compact. Moreover, we have
Therefore,
which contradicts (2.12). So (ii) holds.
This completes the proof of Lemma 2.10. □
Inequality (2.11) means that the functional \(J_{\varepsilon}(\cdot,x):\mathbb{H}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) is coercive. Thus, for any \(x\in\mathcal{H}([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\), the functional \(J_{\varepsilon}(\cdot,x)\) admits a unique critical point \(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon}\). We define a mapping \(\varPhi_{\varepsilon}:\mathcal{H}([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H})) \rightarrow\mathbb{H}\) by \(\varPhi_{\varepsilon}(x)=\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon}\). Next, we estimate some properties of mapping \(\varPhi_{\varepsilon}\).
Lemma 2.11
If Assumptions (H1)–(H4) are satisfied, then the following conclusions hold:
- (i)
For any\(x\in B_{r}\), there exists a constant\(L_{\varepsilon}>0\)such that\(\mathbb{E}\|\varPhi_{\varepsilon}(x)\|^{2}\leq L_{\varepsilon}\);
- (ii)
For any\(x_{n}, x\in B_{r}\)satisfying\(x_{n}\rightarrow x\)in\(\mathcal{H}([0,b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\), it holds that
$$ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\mathbb{E} \bigl\Vert \varPhi_{\varepsilon}(x_{n})- \varPhi_{\varepsilon}(x) \bigr\Vert ^{2}=0. $$
Proof
(i) By Lemma 2.10, there exists \(L_{\varepsilon}>0\) such that
On the other hand, by the definition of \(\varPhi_{\varepsilon}\),
Therefore, by (2.13) and (2.14), we obtain that
(ii) Set \(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon,n}=\varPhi_{\varepsilon}(x_{n})\) and \(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon}=\varPhi_{\varepsilon}(x)\). By (i), we know that \(\{\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon,n}\}\) is bounded, thus we suppose that \(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon,n}\) weakly converges to \(\widetilde{\phi}_{\varepsilon}\) in \(\mathbb{H}\). According to the definition of \(J_{\varepsilon}\), Fatou lemma and the optimality of both \(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon,n}=\varPhi_{\varepsilon}(x_{n})\) and \(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon}=\varPhi_{\varepsilon}(x)\), we have
Thus, \(J_{\varepsilon}(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon},x)= J_{\varepsilon}( \widetilde{\phi}_{\varepsilon},x)\), that is, \(\widetilde{\phi}_{\varepsilon}\) is also a minimum of \(J_{\varepsilon}(\cdot,x)\). By the uniqueness of the minimum of \(J_{\varepsilon}(\cdot,x)\), we get \(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon}=\widetilde{\phi}_{\varepsilon}\). Moreover, we have
From these relations, we easily see that
Since \(\mathbb{H}\) is a Hilbert space, by (2.16) and since \(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon,n}\rightharpoonup\widehat{\phi}_{ \varepsilon}\) weakly in \(\mathbb{H}\), we have
This completes the proof of Lemma 2.11. □
Now, we introduce a control \(u_{\varepsilon}(t, x)\) by
From Lemma 2.11, we can get the following obvious result:
Lemma 2.12
If Assumptions (H1)–(H4) are satisfied, then for any\(x\in B_{r}\), the following conclusions hold:
- (i)
\(\mathbb{E}\|u_{\varepsilon}(t, x)\|^{2}\leq L_{u}\);
- (ii)
\(u_{\varepsilon}(t, x)\)is continuous in\(B_{r}\), where\(L_{u}=\|B\|^{2} (\frac{M}{\varGamma(\alpha)} )^{2}L_{ \varepsilon}\).
To discuss the finite-controllability for system (1.1), we need the following lemmas in this paper.
Lemma 2.13
Assume that −Agenerates a compact\(C_{0}\)-semigroup\(T(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)) of uniformly bounded operators in a Hilbert space\(\mathbb{H}\). Let Assumptions (H1)–(H4) hold. Suppose, in addition, that the following condition is satisfied:
- (H5)
There is a constant\(\delta\in(0, b)\)such that for any\(t\in[0, b]\),
$$ f\bigl(t, x_{1}(t)\bigr)=f\bigl(t, x_{2}(t)\bigr),\qquad \sigma\bigl(t, x_{1}(t)\bigr)=\sigma\bigl(t, x_{2}(t) \bigr),\qquad h\bigl(t, x_{1}(t)\bigr)=h\bigl(t, x_{2}(t) \bigr), $$where\(x_{1},x_{2}\in\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\)with\(x_{1}(t)=x_{2}(t)\) (\(t\in[\delta, b]\)).
Then the nonlocal problem (1.1) has at least one mild solution in\(B_{R}\)provided that there exists a positive constantRsuch that
where
Proof
For any \(r > 0\), define
It is easily seen that for each \(x\in B_{r}(\delta)\), there exists a function \(y\in B_{r}\) satisfying \(x(t)=y(t)\), \(t\in[\delta, b]\). Define the following mappings on \(B_{r}(\delta)\) by
Then, by conditions (H1)–(H3) and (H5), it is easy to see that \(f^{\ast}\), \(\sigma^{\ast}\), \(g^{\ast}\) is well defined on \(B_{r}(\delta)\) and continuous. In addition,
Define an operator \(F_{\delta}\) on \(B_{r}(\delta)\) as follows:
here \(u^{\ast}_{\varepsilon}(s, x)\) is defined by \(u^{\ast}_{\varepsilon}(t, x)=B^{\ast}\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}^{\ast}(b-t) \varPhi^{\ast}_{\varepsilon}(x)\), and \(\varPhi^{\ast}_{\varepsilon}(x)\) is the critical point of \(J_{\varepsilon}(\phi,x)\) of \(p^{\ast}(x)\), where
Evidently, the results in Lemma 2.12 hold for \(u^{\ast}_{\varepsilon}(s, x)\).
Next we prove that \(F_{\delta}\) has a fixed point by Schauder’s fixed point theorem. For this purpose, we first check that there is a positive number R such that \(F_{\delta}\) maps \(B_{R}(\delta)\) into itself. For any \(x\in B_{R}(\delta)\) and \(t\in[\delta, b]\), it follows from (2.17), (2.18), Lemmas 2.1 and 2.6, and Hölder inequality that
It then follows that \(F_{\delta}\) maps \(B_{R}(\delta)\) to \(B_{R}(\delta)\).
Secondly, with a method similar to that in the proof of Lemma 2.9, we can also prove that \(F_{\delta}:B_{R}(\delta)\rightarrow B_{R}(\delta)\) is a continuous operator and the set \(\{(F_{\delta}x)(t): x\in B_{R}(\delta)\}\) is relatively compact in \(\mathbb{H}\) for \(t\in[\delta, b]\).
In what follows, we will show that \(F_{\delta}(B_{R}(\delta))\) is an equicontinuous family of functions on \([\delta, b ]\). For any \(x \in B_{R}(\delta)\) and \(\delta\leq t_{1} < t_{2} \leq b\), we get that
In order to prove that \(\mathbb{E}\|(F_{1}x)(t_{2})-(F_{1}x)(t_{1})\|^{2}\rightarrow0 (t_{2}-t_{1} \rightarrow0)\), we only need to check \(I_{i}\rightarrow0\) independently of \(x \in B_{R}(\delta)\) when \(t_{2}-t_{1}\rightarrow0\) for \(i=0,1,2,\ldots,6\). Clearly, \(I_{0}\rightarrow0\) as \(t_{2}-t_{1}\rightarrow0\).
For \(I_{1}\) and \(I_{4}\), from (2.18), Lemmas 2.1 and 2.6, and Hölder inequality, we obtain the estimates
Similarly, for \(I_{2}\) and \(I_{5}\), we get
Further, for \(I_{3}\) and \(I_{6}\), suppose \(0<\varepsilon<t_{1}\) is small enough, we obtain the following inequalities:
Overall, we have \(I_{i}\rightarrow0\) as \(t_{2}-t_{1}\rightarrow0\) and \(\varepsilon\rightarrow0\), which means \(F_{1}(B_{r}(\delta))\) is equicontinuous. Therefore, an application of Arzela–Ascoli theorem justifies the precompactness of \(F_{\delta}(B_{r}(\delta))\). Thus, by Schauder fixed point theorem, \(F_{\delta}\) has at least a fixed point \(\bar{x}\in B_{R}(\delta)\), i.e.,
Set
Clearly, \(\bar{x}(t)=\bar{y}(t)\) for \(t\in[\delta, b]\). From the definitions of \(f^{\ast}\), \(\sigma^{\ast}\) and \(g^{\ast}\), it follows immediately that
that is, ȳ is a mild solution of system (1.1) in \(B_{R}\).
This completes the proof of Lemma 2.13. □
For each \(\delta\in(0, b)\) and arbitrary \(x\in\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\), write
and
It is easy to see that \(f_{\delta}\), \(\sigma_{\delta}\), and \(h_{\delta}\) defined above satisfy condition (H5), thus we obtain
Lemma 2.14
Assume that −Agenerates a compact\(C_{0}\)-semigroup\(T(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)) of uniformly bounded operators in a Hilbert space\(\mathbb{H}\). Let Assumptions (H1)–(H4) hold. Then the following nonlocal problem:
has at least one mild solution in\(B_{R}\)provided that there exists a positive constantRsuch that (2.17) is satisfied.
3 Main results
In this section, we shall discuss the finite-approximate controllability of the fractional stochastic dynamical control system (1.1) by using the approximation techniques and a diagonal argument.
Theorem 3.1
Assume that −Agenerates a compact\(C_{0}\)-semigroup\(T(t)\) (\(t \geq0\)) of uniformly bounded operators in a Hilbert space\(\mathbb{H}\). If Assumptions (H1)–(H4) are satisfied, then fractional stochastic control system with nonlocal conditions (1.1) has at least one mild solution in\(\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\)provided that there exists a positive constantRsuch that (2.17) is satisfied.
Proof
To begin with, let \(\{\delta_{n}: n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) be a decreasing sequence in \((0, b)\) with \(\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\delta_{n}=0\). For every n, according to Lemma 2.14, we claim that the following system:
has a mild solution \(x_{n}\in B_{R}\) if constant R satisfies (2.17), which is expressed by
Let
then \(v_{n}\in B_{R}\). In view of the definitions of \(f_{\delta_{n}}\), \(\sigma_{\delta_{n}}\), and \(h_{\delta_{n}}\), we conclude that
Next, we will show that the set \(\{x_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is precompact in \(\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\). For this purpose, we introduce the following definition:
Therefore, we only need to show that the sets \(\{\rho_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) and \(\{\varphi_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) are precompact in \(\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\).
From the expression of \(v_{n}(t)\), we know that \(v_{n}\in B_{R}\). This implies that (H1)–(H3) hold for \(f(s,v_{n}(s))\), \(\sigma(s,v_{n}(s))\) and \(h(s,v_{n}(s))\). Moreover, \(u_{\varepsilon}(s,v_{n})\) satisfies the estimates (i) and (ii) in Lemma 2.12. Hence, it is not difficult to prove that the set \(\{\varphi_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is precompact in \(\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\) by the arguments similar to those in the proof of Lemma 2.13. In the sequel, we will show that the set \(\{\rho_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is also precompact in \(\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\). In fact, we only need to prove that the set \(\{\int_{0}^{b}h(s,v_{n}(s))\,ds:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is precompact in \(\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\).
Let \(\{\eta_{n}: n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) be a decreasing sequence in \((0, b)\) such that \(\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\eta_{n}=0\). For every \(n\in\mathbb{N}\) and \(t\in[\eta_{1},b]\), define function \(\omega_{n}:[\eta_{1},b]\rightarrow\mathbb{H}\) by \(\omega_{n}(t)=x_{n}(t)\). Note that \(v_{n}\in B_{R}\) and hence, \(\{\int_{0}^{b}h(s,v_{n}(s))\,ds:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is bounded. Meanwhile, \(\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)\) is compact and norm-continuous for \(t>0\), which implies that the set \(\{\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(t)\int_{0}^{b}h(s,v_{n}(s))\,ds:n\in \mathbb{N}\}\) is precompact in \(\mathbb{H}\) for any \(t\in[\eta_{1},b]\) and \(\{\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(\cdot)\int_{0}^{b}h(s,v_{n}(s))\,ds:n\in \mathbb{N}\}\) is equicontinuous. By Arzela–Ascoli theorem, we conclude that \(\{\mathcal{T}_{\alpha}(\cdot)\int_{0}^{b}h(s,v_{n}(s))\,ds:n\in \mathbb{N}\}\) is precompact in \(\mathcal{H}([\eta_{1},b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\). Combining this with the fact that \(\{\varphi_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is precompact in \(\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\), we claim that \(\{\omega_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is precompact in \(\mathcal{H}([\eta_{1},b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\). Hence, we can find a subsequence \(\{x_{n}^{1}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\subset\{x_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) which is a Cauchy sequence in \(\mathcal{H}([\eta_{1},b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\). In the same way, we can select a subsequence \(\{x_{n}^{2}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\subset\{x_{n}^{1}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) which is a Cauchy sequence in \(\mathcal{H}([\eta_{2},b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\). Repeating the above reasoning and applying a diagonal argument, we know that there exist a subsequence \(\{x_{n}^{\ast}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\subset\{x_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) which is a Cauchy sequence in \(\mathcal{H}([\eta_{n},b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\). Moreover, for every \(t\in(0,b]\), \(\{x_{n}^{\ast}(t):n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is a Cauchy sequence in \(\mathbb{H}\). So there exists a continuous function \(x^{\ast}:(0,b]\rightarrow L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H})\) such that for each \(\eta_{k}\),
We further show that \(\{g(x_{n}^{\ast}):n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is a Cauchy sequence in \(\mathbb{H}\). Let \(\delta\in(0, b)\), then for any \(x_{1},x_{2}\in\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\) with \(x_{1}(t)=x_{2}(t)\), \(t\in[\delta, b]\), we have
Therefore, for \(\forall\varepsilon>0\), there exists a positive constant \(\delta_{0}< b\) such that
for any \(x_{1},x_{2}\in\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\) with \(x_{1}(t)=x_{2}(t)\), \(t\in[\delta_{0}, b]\). Let \(y(t)\) be the function defined by
Clearly, \(y\in\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\). By (3.4) we have
From the definition of \(\mathcal{L}_{\delta}\), we can see easily that
By the continuity of g, we can find a natural number N such that
Therefore, for any m, \(n>N\), we have
This inequality implies that \(\{g(x_{n}^{\ast}):n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is a Cauchy sequence in \(\mathbb{H}\), namely, \(\{g(x_{n}):n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is precompact in \(\mathbb{H}\).
Finally, by (3.2), we can verify easily that
which implies that \(\{\int_{0}^{b}h(s,v_{n}(s))\,ds:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is precompact in \(\mathbb{H}\).
So far we have proved that the set \(\{x_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\subset\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\) is precompact. Hence, there exist a subsequence of \(\{x_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) denoted again by \(\{x_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) and a function \(x_{0}\in B_{R}\) such that
From the definition of \(v_{n}\) it follows that
By (3.6)–(3.7) and taking the limit as \(n\rightarrow \infty\) in (3.3), one gets that
This means that \(x_{0}\in\mathcal{H}([0, b], L^{2}(\varOmega, \mathbb{H}))\) is a mild solution of system (1.1).
This completes the proof of Theorem 3.1. □
Remark 3.2
Even if without control u in the fractional nonlocal control system (1.1), Theorem 3.1 is still new.
Theorem 3.3
Suppose that the assumptions of Theorem 3.1hold. Then the fractional control system (1.1) is finitely-approximately controllable on\([0, b]\).
Proof
Let \(x_{\varepsilon}\) be a mild solution of (1.1) in \(B_{R}\). Then functional \(J_{\varepsilon}(\phi,x_{\varepsilon})\) has a unique critical point \(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon}\) such that \(J_{\varepsilon}(\widehat{\phi}_{\varepsilon}, x_{\varepsilon})= \min_{\phi\in\mathbb{H}}J_{\varepsilon}(\phi,x_{ \varepsilon})\). Therefore, for any \(\psi\in\mathbb{H}\) and \(\lambda\in\mathbb{R}\), we have
By this inequality, for \(\lambda>0\), we have
Setting \(\lambda\rightarrow0^{+}\) in the inequality above, we have
Similarly to the process above with \(\lambda<0\), we get
Since
from the definition of \(p(x_{\varepsilon})\) and (3.8)–(3.9), for any \(\psi\in\mathbb{H}\), it follows that
By this and the properties of the orthogonal projection, we have
Therefore, the fractional stochastic control system (1.1) is finitely-approximately controllable on \([0, b]\).
This completes the proof of Theorem 3.3. □
Remark 3.4
If we take an abstract space \(C([0, b], \mathbb{H})\) with norm \(\|x\|_{C}=\max_{t\in[0, b]}\|x(t)\|\), and functional
where
the methods used in this paper can be applied to study the finite-approximate controllability of deterministic systems
The corresponding results that appear are also new.
4 Application
To illustrate the main result, we consider the following fractional stochastic control system:
where \(W(t)\) is a standard one-dimensional Brownian motion defined on the filtered probability space \((\varOmega,\mathcal{F},\{\mathcal{F}_{t}\}_{t\geq0}, P)\). To write the above system (4.1) into the abstract form of (1.1), let \(\mathbb{H}=\mathbb{E}=\mathbb{U}=L^{2}[0, 1]\) with the norm \(\|\cdot\|\). Define the operator \(A:D(A)\subset X\rightarrow\mathbb{H}\) by
We know that −A generates a compact, analytic semigroup \(T(t)\) (\(t\geq0\)) in \(\mathbb{H}\) and
where \(v_{n}=\sqrt{2}\sin(ns)\), \(n=1,2,\ldots\) is the orthogonal set of eigenvectors in A.
For any \(t\in[0, b]\), let \(x(t)(z)=x(z,t)\), \(Bu(t)(z)= u(z,t)\), \(f(t,x(t))(z)= \frac{t x(z,t)}{2(1+| x(z,t)|)}+x(z,t)\), \(\sigma(t,x(t))(z)=e^{t}x(z,t)+\sin x(z,t)\), \(h(t,x(t))(z)=t^{2} \sin(\frac{x(z,t)}{t})\). Then problem (4.1) can be rewritten in the abstract form of (1.1). From the definitions of nonlinear terms f, σ, and h, we can easily verify that Aassumptions (H1)–(H3) hold with \(\xi_{f}(t)=\frac{t^{2}}{2}+2\), \(\xi_{\sigma}(t)=2(e^{2t}+1)\), \(\xi _{h}(t)=t^{2}\), and \(\varPsi_{f}(s)=\varPsi_{\sigma}(s)=\varPsi_{h}(s)=s\). It can be easily seen that the deterministic linear fractional control system corresponding to (4.1) is approximately controllable on \([0, b]\) (see [28]). Hence, by Theorem 3.1, system (4.1) has a mild solution provided that (2.17) holds. Also, all the conditions of Theorem 3.3 are satisfied, so we get that stochastic control system (4.1) is approximately controllable on \([0, b]\).
