This work analyzes the existence and exact controllability of nonlinear second-order retarded integro-differential equations involving delays in control. Making use of fixed point principle and cosine family we determine the existence of solutions. Then, under some assumptions, we show that the controllability of the associated linear system without delay implies the controllability of the associated linear delay system and the actual system by applying an iterative technique. To illustrate the results, we introduce an example.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
