Boundary Regional Controllability of Semilinear Systems Involving Caputo Time Fractional Derivatives

Abstract

We study boundary regional controllability problems for a class of semilinear fractional systems. Sufficient conditions for regional boundary controllability are proved by assuming that the associated linear system is approximately regionally boundary controllable. The main result is obtained by using fractional powers of an operator and the fixed point technique under the approximate controllability of the corresponding linear system in a suitable subregion of the space domain. An algorithm is also proposed and some numerical simulations performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
