Optimal control problem of fractional evolution inclusions with Clarke subdifferential driven by quasi-hemivariational inequalities

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce and study an optimal control problem for a new class of fractional differential quasi-hemivariational inequalities with nonlocal initial conditions and Clarke subdifferentials. The main tools in our study are the theory of fractional calculus, the fixed point argument for condensing multimaps and Balder’s theorem. We prove the solvability of abstract nonlocal fractional differential quasi-hemivariational inequalities and then show the existence of solutions to the associated optimal control problems.
