Approximate controllability for semilinear second-order neutral evolution equations with infinite delay

Abstract

In this article, we study the existence of mild solutions and the approximate controllability for a class of systems governed by neutral equations of second-order with infinite delay in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The mild solution and approximate controllability are achieved by constructing the fundamental solution for the associated linear equation and assuming that the linear system is approximately controllable. The discussion is based on the fundamental solution theory and Rothe's fixed point theorem. In addition, an example is given to illustrate our main conclusion.
