Fractional differential equation, as an excellent tool for describing memory and hereditary properties of various materials and processes in natural sciences and engineering, received a great deal of attention in the literature [1-5]. In particular, the existence of solutions to fractional order differential equations attracted researches attention. For example, the existence of solution for fractional semilinear differential or integro differential equations was extensively investigated [6-10]. Recently, mixed type integro-differential systems with and without delay conditions were studied [11-13]. Ravichandran and Baleanu [13] considered the existence of solution for the following fractional neutral functional integro-differential evolution equations with infinite delay in Banach spaces
where $^{c}D_{t}^{\alpha}$ is the Caputo fraction derivative of order $0 < \alpha < 1$. By using properties of solution operators and Mönch's fixed point theorem via measures of noncompactness, the authors developed the existence theorem for such equations.
Motivated by this work, we use Mönch's fixed point theorem via measure of noncompactness to investigate the existence of mild solution for the following impulsive fractional neutral function integro-differential evolution equations with infinite delay in a Banach space $X$.
where $T > 0$, $^{c}D_{t}^{\alpha}$ is the Caputo fraction derivative of order $0 < \alpha < 1$, $A$ is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup ${T(t), t\geq0}$ in a Banach space $X$, $f: J\times B_{v}\times X$, $g: J\times B_{v}$ and $h: J\times J\times B_{v}$ are given functions, where $B_{v}$ is the phase space defined in Section $2$. The impulsive functions $I_{k}: X\rightarrow X~ (k=1, 2, \cdots, m)$ is an appropriate functions. $\Delta x\mid_{t=t_{k}}=x(t_{k}^{+})-x(t_{k}^{-})$, where $x(t_{k}^{+})$ and $x(t_{k}^{-})$ represent the right and left limits of $x(t)$ at $t=t_{k}$, respectively. The histories $x_{t}: (-\infty, 0]\rightarrow X $, defined by $x_{t}(s)=x(t+s), s\leq0$, belong to some abstract phase space $B_{v}$.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows: in Section $2$, some basic definitions, notations and preliminary facts that are used throughout the paper are presented. The definition of mild solution is given in Section 3. The main results are drown in Section 4, in which we present the existence results for impulsive fractional neutral function integro differential evolution equation of order $0 < \alpha < 1$ with infinite delay.
Let $X$ be a complex Banach space, whose norm is denoted by $\|\cdot\|$. Suppose $L(X)$ is the Banach space of all bounded linear operators from $X$ into $X$, whose corresponding norm is denoted by $\|\cdot\|_{L(X)}$. Let $C(J, X)$ denote the space of all continuous functions from $J$ into $X$, whose supremum norm is given by $\|\cdot\|_{C(J, X)}$. We use $B_r(x, X)$ to denote the closed ball in $X$ with center at $x$ and radius $r$.
In the paper, we assume that $A: D(A)\subset X\rightarrow X$ is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup $T(\cdot)$. Thus there exists a constant $M\leq1$. Without loss of generality, we assume that $0\in\rho(A)$. Then we can define the fractional power $A^{\alpha}$ for $0 < \alpha\leq1$, as a closed linear operator on its domain $D(A^{\alpha})$ with inverse $A^{-\alpha}$ (see [14]). $A^{\alpha}$ admits the following properties.
$(1)~~ D(A^{\alpha})$ is a Banach space with norm $\|x\|_{\alpha}=\|A^{\alpha}x\|$ for $x\in D(A^{\alpha})$.
$(2)~~ T(t):X\rightarrow X_{\alpha}$ for $t\geq0$.
$(3)~~ A^{\alpha}T(t)x=T(t)A^{\alpha}x$ for each $x\in D(A^{\alpha})$ and $t\geq0$.
$(4) $ For every $t > 0$, $A^{\alpha}T(t)$ is bounded on $X$ and there exists $M_{\alpha} > 0$ such that
$(5)~~ A^{-\alpha}$ is a bounded linear operator for $0\leq\alpha\leq1$ in $X$.
Before introducing a fractional order functional differential equation with infinite delay, we define the abstract phase space $B_v$. Let $v:(\infty, 0]\rightarrow(0, \infty)$ be a continuous function that satisfies
The Banach space $(B_v, \|\cdot\|_{B_v})$ induced by $v$ is then given by
endowed with the norm $\|\varphi\|_{B_v}:=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^0 v(s)\sup_{s\leq\theta\leq0}\|\varphi(\theta)\|ds.$
Define the following space
where $\varphi_k$ is the restriction of $\varphi$ to $J_k$, $J_0=[0, t_1]$, $J_k=(t_k, t_{k+1}]$, $k=1, 2, \cdots, m.$
We use $\|\cdot\|_{B'_v}$ to denote a seminorm in the space $B'_v$ defined by
where
Generally, the Mittag-Leffler function is defined by
where $H_{\alpha}$ is a Hankel path, a contour that starts and ends at $-\infty$, and encircles the disc $|\mu|\leq|z|^{\frac{1}{\alpha}}$ counterclockwise.
Now we consider some definitions about fractional differential equations.
${\bf Definition \ 2.1}$ The fractional integral of order $\alpha$ with the the lower limit zero of a function $f$ is defined as
provided that the right-hand side is pointwise defined on $[0, \infty)$, where $\Gamma{(\cdot)}$ is a gamma function defined by
${\bf Definition \ 2.2}$ The Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order $\alpha > 0, n-1 < \alpha < n, n\in N$, is defined as
where the function $f(t)$ has absolutely continuous derivative up to order $(n-1)$.
${\bf Definition \ 2.3}$ The Caputo derivative of order $\alpha$ for a function $f:[0, \infty)\rightarrow R$ can be written as
${\bf Lemma \ 2.1}$ (see [15]) Assume $x\in B_{v}^{'}$, then for $t\in J, \; x_{t}\in B_{v}$. Moreover,
Next, we consider some definitions and properties of the measures of noncompactness.
The Hausdorff measure of noncompactness $\beta(\cdot)$ defined on each bounded subset $ \mathscr{B}$ of Banach space $X$ is given by
Some basic properties of $\beta(\cdot)$ are given in the following lemma.
${\bf Lemma \ 2.2}$ (see [16-18]) If $X$ is a real Banach space and $\mathscr{B}, \mathscr{D}\subset X$ are bounded, then the following properties are satisfied:
(1) monotone: if for all bounded subsets $\mathscr{B}, \mathscr{D}$ of $X$, $\mathscr{B}\subseteq\mathscr{D}$ implies $ \beta(\mathscr{B})\leq \beta(\mathscr{D})$;
(2) nonsingular: $\beta(\{x\}\cup\mathscr{B})=\beta(\mathscr{B})$ for every $x \in X $ and every nonempty subset $ \mathscr{B}\subset X $;
(3) regular: $ \mathscr{B} $ is precompact if and only if $\beta(\mathscr{B})=0 $;
(4) $ \beta(\mathscr{B}+\mathscr{D})\leq \beta(\mathscr{B})+\beta(\mathscr{D})$, where $ \mathscr{B}+\mathscr{D} = \{x +y; x \in \mathscr{B}, y\in \mathscr{D}\}$;
(5) $\beta(\mathscr{B}\cup\mathscr{D})\leq \max\{\beta(\mathscr{B}), \beta(\mathscr{D})\}$;
(6) $\beta(\lambda\mathscr{B})\leq|\lambda|\beta(\mathscr{B})$;
(7) if $ W \subset C(J, X)$ is bounded and equicontinuous, then $t \rightarrow\beta(W(t)) $ is continuous on $J$, and
(8) if $\{u_n\}_1^\infty$ is a sequence of Bochner integrable functions from $J$ into $X$ with $\|u_n(t)\| \leq \widehat{m}(t) $ for almost all $t \in J $ and every $n \geq 1 $, where $\widehat{m}(t)\in L(J, R^+)$, then the function $\psi(t)=\beta(\{u_n\}_{n=1}^\infty))$ belongs to $ L(J, R^+) $ and satisfies
(9) if $ W $ is bounded, then for each $\varepsilon > 0$, there is a sequence $\{u_n\}_{n=1}^\infty\subset W$, such that
The following lemmas about the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness will be used in proving our main results.
${\bf Lemma \ 2.3}$ (see [19]) Let $D$ be a closed convex subset of a Banach space $X$ and $0\in D$. Assume that $F: D\rightarrow X$ is a continuous map which satisfies the Mönch's condition, that is, $M\subseteq D$ is countable, $M\subseteq \overline{\rm co}\left({0}\cup F(M)\right)\Rightarrow\overline{M}$ is compact. Then $F$ has a fixed point in $D$.
${\bf Lemma \ 2.4}$ (see [20]) If $A$ is a sectorial operator of type $(M, \theta, \alpha, \mu)$, then
${\bf Lemma \ 2.5}$ (see [13]) Assuming $A$ is the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup, given by ${T(t)}_{t\geq0}$ and $0\in \rho(A)$, then we now have
and
${\bf Lemma \ 2.6}$ (see [21])
where $\alpha, \beta \in (0, 1)$.
${\bf Lemma \ 2.7}$ Suppose $A$ is a sectorial operator of type $(M, \theta, \alpha, \mu).$ If $0 < \alpha < 1$, then
${\bf Theorem \ 3.1}$ If $f$ satisfies a uniform Hölder condition with exponent $\beta\in(0, 1]$ and $A$ is a sectorial operator of type $(M, \theta, \alpha, \mu)$, then the Cauchy problem $(1.1)$ has a solution, given by
${\bf{Proof}}$ For all $t\in(t_{k}, t_{k+1}]$ where $k=0, 1, \cdots, m$ by Lemma 2.7, we obtain
Thus expression (3.1) satisfies the first equation of problem (1.1).
For $k=1, 2, \cdots, m$, it follows from (3.1) that
Therefore we have
Consequently, all the conditions of problem (1.1) are satisfied. Hence (3.1) is a solution of problem (1.1).
Thus the mild solution of equation (1.1) can be defined as follows.
${\bf Definition \ 3.1}$ (see [22]) A continuous function $x: (-\infty, T]\rightarrow X$ is said to be mild solution of system (1.1) if $x=\phi\in B_{v}$ on $(-\infty, 0]$, the impulsive condition $\Delta x(t_{k})=I_{k}(x(t_{k}^{-})), k=1, 2, \cdots, m$ is satisfied, the restriction of $ x(\cdot)$ to the interval $ J_{k} $ is continuous, and $x(t)$ satisfies the following integral equation
In this section, we present the main results of this article. We first consider the following hypotheses.
If $A$ is a sectorial operator of type $(M, \theta, \alpha, \mu)$, then $\|S_{\alpha}(t)\|\leq Me^{\omega t}$ and $\|T_{\alpha}(t)\|\leq Ce^{\omega t}(1+t^{\alpha-1})$. Let
where $L(X)$ is the Banach space of bounded linear operator from $X$ into $X$ equipped with its natural topology. Thus we have
We assume the following conditions hold
(H1) The function $f: J\times B_{v}\times X\rightarrow X$ satisfies the following conditions:
(ⅰ) $f(\cdot, \phi, x)$ is measurable for all $(\phi, x)\in B_{v}\times X$ and $f(t, \cdot, \cdot)$ is continuous for a.e. $t\in J$.
(ⅱ) There exist a constant $\alpha_{1}\in (0, \alpha)$, $ m\in L^{\frac{1}{\alpha_{1}}}(J, R^{+})$ and a positive integrable function $\Omega: R^{+}\rightarrow R^{+}$ such that
for all $(t, \phi, x)\in J\times B_{v}\times X$, where $\Omega$ satisfies
(ⅲ) There exist a constant $\alpha_{2}\in (0, \alpha)$ and a function $\eta\in L^{\frac{1}{\alpha_{2}}}(J, R^{+})$ such that, for any bounded subset $D_{1}\subset X, F_{1}\subset B_{v}$,
for a.e. $t\in J$, where $F_{1}(\theta)=\{v(\theta): v\in F_{1}\}$ and $\beta$ is the Hausdorff MNC.
(H2) The function $ h: J\times J\times B_{v}\rightarrow X$ satisfies the following conditions:
(ⅰ) $h(\cdot, t, x)$ is measurable for all $(t, x)\in J\times B_{v}$ and $h(t, \cdot, \cdot)$ is continuous for a.e. $t\in J$.
(ⅱ) There exist a constant $ H_{0} > 0$ such that
for all $ t, s \in J, \phi\in B_{v}$.
(ⅲ) There exists $\xi\in L^{1}(J^{2}, R^{+})$ such that for any bounded subset $ F_{2}\subset B_{v}$,
for a.e. $t\in J$, with $\xi^{\ast}=\sup\limits_{t\in J}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{s}\xi(t, \tau)d\tau < +\infty$.
(H3) The function $ g: J\times B_{v}\rightarrow X $ satisfies the following conditions:
(ⅰ) $g$ is continuous and there exist a constant $ H_{1} > 0$ and $0 < \beta < 1$ such that $g$ is $X_{\beta}$ valued and
(ⅱ) There exist a constant $\alpha_{3}\in(0, \alpha)$ and $ g^{\ast}\in L^{\frac{1}{\alpha_{3}}}(J, R^{+})$ such that, for any bounded subset $F_{3}\subset B_{v}$,
(H4) $I_{i}:X \rightarrow X$ be continuous operators and there exist positive numbers $c_{i}, K_{i}$ such that
for every bounded subset $F_{4}$ of $B_{v}^{'}$.
${\bf Theorem \ 4.1}$ Suppose conditions (H1)-(H5) are satisfied. Then system(1.1) has at least one solution on $J$.
${\bf{Proof}}$ We define the operator $\Gamma: B_{v}^{'} \rightarrow B_{v}^{'}$ by
The operator $ \Gamma $ has a fixed point if and only if system (1.1) has a solution. For $\phi\in B_{v}$, denote
Then $\hat{\phi}(t)\in B_{v}^{'}$.
Let $ x(t)=y(t)+\hat{\phi}(t), ~ -\infty < t\leq T.$ It is easy to see that $y$ satisfies $y_{0}=0, t\in(-\infty, 0]$ and
if and only if $x(t)$ satisfies $x(t)=\phi(t), t\in(-\infty, 0]$ and
Define the Banach space $ (B_{v}^{''}, \|\cdot\|_{B_{v}^{''}})$ induced by $ B_{v}^{'}$, $B_{v}^{''}=\{y: y\in B_{v}^{'}, y_{0}=0\}$ with the norm
Let $ B_{r}=\{y\in B_{v}^{''} : \|y\|_{B_{v}^{'}}\leq r\}$. Then for each $r$, $ B_{r}$ is a bounded, close and convex subset. For any $ y\in B_{r}$, it follows from Lemma 2.1 that
we define the operator $ N: B_{v}''\rightarrow B_{v}''$ by
It is easy to see that operator $\Gamma$ has a fixed point if and only if operator $N$ has a fixed point. In the following, we prove that $N$ has a fixed point.
${\bf{Step \ 1}}$ We prove that there exists some $ r > 0$ such that $ N(B_{r})\subset B_{r}$. If this is not true, then, for each positive integer $r$, there exist $ y^{r}\in B_{r}$ and $ t^{r}\in(-\infty, T]$ such that $\|(Ny^{r})(t^{r})\| > r$.
On the other hand, it follows from the assumption that
Now we estimate $I_{i}, \, i=1, 2, 3, 4, 5$. Assumption (H3) (ⅰ) implies
It follows from assumption (H3) (ⅰ) and Hölder's inequality that
By using assumptions (H1) and (H2), we obtain
Using assumptions (H1) (ⅰ) and (H4) yields
Combining estimates $I_{1}-I_{5}$, we obtain
Dividing both sides by $r$ and taking $r\rightarrow+\infty $ from
yields
This contradicts (H5). Thus, for some number $ r, N(B_{r})\subset B_{r}$.
${\bf{Step \ 2~~}}$ $N$ is continuous on $B_{r}$.
Let $\{y^{n}\}_{n=1}^{+\infty}\subset B_{r}$, with $ y^{n}\rightarrow y$ in $ B_{r}$ as $ n\rightarrow +\infty$. Then by using hypotheses (H2), (H4) and (H5), we have
(ⅰ) $f\left(s, y_{s}^{n}+\hat{\phi}_{s}, \displaystyle\int_{0}^{s}h(s, \tau, y_{\tau}^{n}+\hat{\phi}_{\tau})d\tau\right)\rightarrow f\left(s, y_{s}+\hat{\phi}_{s}, \displaystyle\int_{0}^{s}h(s, \tau, y_{\tau}+\hat{\phi}_{\tau})d\tau\right), ~~ n\rightarrow \infty.$
(ⅱ) $g\left(t, y_{t}^{n}+\hat{\phi}_{t}\right)\rightarrow g\left(t, y_{t}+\hat{\phi}_{t}\right), \quad n\rightarrow \infty.$
(ⅲ) $\|I_{i}(y^{n}(t_{i}^{-})+\hat{\phi}(t_{i}^{-}))-I_{i}(y(t_{i}^{-})+\hat{\phi}(t_{i}^{-}))\|\rightarrow 0, \quad n\rightarrow \infty, i=1, 2, \cdots, m.$
Now for every $ t\in[0, t_{1}]$, we have
Moreover, for all $ t\in(t_{k}, t_{k+1}], k=1, 2, \cdots, m$, we have
We thus obtain $ \|Ny^{n}-Ny\|\rightarrow 0 \; \; \mbox{as} \; \; n\rightarrow \infty$ implying that $N$ is continuous on $ B_{r}$.
${\bf{Step \ 3~~}}$ The map $ N(B_{r})$ is equicontinuous on $J$.
The function $\{Ny:y\in B_{r}\}$ is equicontinuous at $ t=0$. For $ 0 < t_{1} < t_{2}\leq T, ~ t_{1}, t_{2}\in(t_{k}, t_{k+1}], k=1, 2, \cdots, m$ and $ y\in B_{r}$, by assumptions (H1) and (H4), we deduce that
Hence $ N(B_{r})$ is equicontinuous on $J$.
${\bf{Step \ 4~~}}$ Mönch's condition holds.
Let $ N=N_{1}+N_{2}+N_{3}$, where
Assume $ W\subseteq B_{r}$ is countable and $ W\subseteq \overline{\rm co}\left(\{0\}\cup N(W)\right)$. We show that $\beta(W)=0$, where $\beta$ is the Hausdorff MNC. Without loss of generality, we may suppose that $ W=\{y^{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$. Since $N(W)$ is equicontinuous on $ J_{k}$, $W\subseteq \overline{\rm co}\left(\{0\}\cup N(W)\right)$ is equicontinuous on $ J_{k}$ as well.
By (H4) (ⅱ), we have
Using Lemma 2.2, (H1) (ⅲ), (H2) (ⅲ) and (H3) (ⅱ), we have
We thus obtain
where $M^{\ast}$ is defined in assumption (H5). Since $W$ and $ N(W)$ are equicountinuous on every $ J_{k}$, it follows from Lemma 2.2 that the inequality implies $ \beta(NW)\leq M^{\ast}\beta(W)$. Thus from Mönch's condition, we have
Since $M^{\ast} < 1$, we get $\beta(W)=0$. It follows that $W$ is relatively compact. Using Lemma 2.3, we know that $N$ has a fixed point $y$ in $W$. The proof is completed.
