Existence and Approximate Controllability of Mild Solutions for Hadamard-Type Fractional Systems in Banach Spaces

Abstract

This work establishes the approximate controllability of nonlinear Hadamard-type fractional systems with weakly singular logarithmic kernels in Banach spaces. Under suitable assumptions on the linearized control operator and a linear growth condition on the nonlinearity, we prove the existence of a mild solution steering the system from an arbitrary initial state arbitrarily close to a prescribed terminal state. The proof combines Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem with refined estimates involving logarithmic convolutions.
