Results on partial approximate controllability of fractional control systems in Hilbert spaces with conformable derivatives
Abstract
This paper investigates partial approximate controllability of fractional linear and semi-linear control systems involving the conformable derivative. First, we derive sufficient and necessary conditions for partial approximate controllability of fractional linear systems over a small interval. Then, we apply a new approach, different from typical methods involving complexity inequalities and fixed point theorems, to obtain sufficient conditions for partial approximate controllability of semi-linear fractional control systems, assuming that the linear part is partially approximately controllable. The effectiveness of these results is demonstrated through an illustrative example.
