This article aims to explore the existence and controllability strategies for Sobolev-type nonlocal neutral functional integrodifferential inclusions with impulses via the resolvent operator. Initially, the article is divided into two main parts. The first part is dedicated to establishing the existence of mild solutions for the given system and introducing a new set of sufficient conditions for approximate controllability. These findings are derived under the assumption that the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable. The second part builds on these results by establishing the existence of an optimal control pair for the Lagrange problem (P) based on an appropriate set of sufficient conditions. The development of these results heavily relies on Bohnenblust–Karlin's fixed-point method, semigroup theory, multivalued analysis, and the resolvent operator. Finally, an example is provided to clarify the concepts discussed.
