Controllability of Hilfer fractional Langevin evolution equations

Abstract

The existence of fractional evolution equations has attracted a growing interest in recent years. The mild solution of fractional evolution equations constructed by a probability density function was first introduced by El-Borai. Inspired by El-Borai, Zhou and Jiao gave a definition of mild solution for fractional evolution equations with Caputo fractional derivative. Exact controllability is one of the fundamental issues in control theory: under some admissible control input, a system can be steered from an arbitrary given initial state to an arbitrary desired final state. In this article, using the (α, β) resolvent operator and three different fixed point theorems, we discuss the control problem for a class of Hilfer fractional Langevin evolution equations. The exact controllability of Hilfer fractional Langevin systems is established. An example is also discussed to illustrate the results.
