Enlarged Controllability of Riemann-Liouville Fractional Differential Equations

We investigate exact enlarged controllability for time fractional diffusion systems of Riemann-Liouville type. The Hilbert uniqueness method is used to prove exact enlarged controllability for both cases of zone and pointwise actuators. A penalization method is given and the minimum energy control is characterized.Comment: This is a preprint of a paper whose final and definite form is with 'Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics', ISSN 1555-1415, eISSN 1555-1423, CODEN JCNDDM, available at [http://computationalnonlinear.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org].

Enlarged controllability and optimal control of sub-diffusion processes with Caputo fractional derivatives

We investigate the exact enlarged controllability and optimal control of a fractional diffusion equation in Caputo sense. This is done through a new definition of enlarged controllability that allows us to extend available contributions. Moreover, the problem is studied using two approaches: a reverse Hilbert uniqueness method, generalizing the approach introduced by Lions in 1988, and a penalization method, which allow us to characterize the minimum energy control.publishe

Regional controllability and minimum energy control of delayed caputo fractional-order linear systems

We study the regional controllability problem for delayed fractional control systems through the use of the standard Caputo derivative. First, we recall several fundamental results and introduce the family of fractional-order systems under consideration. Afterward, we formulate the notion of regional controllability for fractional systems with control delays and give some of their important properties. Our main method consists of defining an attainable set, which allows us to prove exact and weak controllability. Moreover, the main results include not only those of controllability but also a powerful Hilbert uniqueness method, which allows us to solve the minimum energy optimal control problem. More precisely, an explicit control is obtained that drives the system from an initial given state to a desired regional state with minimum energy. Two examples are given to illustrate the obtained theoretical results.This research was funded by The Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT—Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia), grant number UIDB/04106/2020 (CIDMA).publishe

Minimum Energy Problem in the Sense of Caputo for Fractional Neutral Evolution Systems in Banach Spaces

We investigate a class of fractional neutral evolution equations on Banach spaces involving Caputo derivatives. Main results establish conditions for the controllability of the fractional-order system and conditions for existence of a solution to an optimal control problem of minimum energy. The results are proved with the help of fixed-point and semigroup theories.Comment: This is a preprint of a paper whose final and definite form is published Open Access in 'Axioms' at [https://doi.org/10.3390/axioms11080379
