Approximate controllability of non-instantaneous impulsive fractional evolution equations of order $1<\alpha<2$ with state-dependent delay in Banach spaces

Abstract

The current article examines the approximate controllability problem for non-instantaneous impulsive fractional evolution equations of order $1<\alpha<2$ with state-dependent delay in separable reflexive Banach spaces. In order to establish sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of our problem, we first formulate the linear-regulator problem and obtain the optimal control in feedback form. By using this optimal control, we deduce the approximate controllability of the linear fractional control system of order $1<\alpha<2$. Further, we derive sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of the nonlinear problem. Finally, we provide a concrete example to validate the efficiency of the derived results.
