Controllability for systems governed by semilinear differential inclusions in a Banach space with a noncompact semigroup

Abstract

We study the controllability problem for a system governed by a semilinear differential inclusion in a Banach space not assuming that the semigroup generated by the linear part of inclusion is compact. Instead we suppose that the multivalued nonlinearity satisfies the regularity condition expressed in terms of the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness. It allows us to apply the topological degree theory for condensing operators and to obtain the controllability results for both upper Carathéodory and almost lower semicontinuous types of nonlinearity. As application we consider the controllability for a system governed by a perturbed wave equation.
