Abstract In this work, we discuss the approximate controllability of some nonlinear partial functional integrodifferential equations with nonlocal initial condition in Hilbert spaces. We assume that the corresponding linear part is approximately controllable. The results are obtained by using fractional power theory and α-norm, the measure of noncompactness and the Mönch fixed-point theorem, and the theory of analytic resolvent operators for integral equations. As a result, we obtain a generalization of the work of Mahmudov [N. I. Mahmudov, Approximate controllability of evolution systems with nonlocal conditions, Nonlinear Anal. 68 2008, 3, 536–546], without assuming the compactness of the resolvent operator. Our results extend and complement many other important results in the literature. Finally, a concrete example is given to illustrate the application of the main results.
