Description
Summary:In this paper, a sufficient condition for the partial approximate controllability of semilinear deterministic control systems is proved. Generally, the theorems on controllability are formulated for control systems given as a first-order differential equation, while many systems can be written in this form only by enlarging the dimension of the state space. The ordinary controllability conditions for such systems are too strong because they involve the enlarged state space. Therefore, it becomes useful to define partial controllability concepts, which assume the original state space. The method of proof, given in this paper, differs from the traditional proofs by fixed point theorems. The obtained result is demonstrated on examples.
