Approximate controllability of the semilinear population dynamics system with diffusion

Abstract

This paper aims to study the approximate controllability of semilinear population dynamics system with diffusion using semigroup theory. The semilinear population dynamical model with the nonlocal birth process is transformed into a standard abstract semilinear control system by identifying the state, control, and the corresponding function spaces. The state and control spaces are assumed to be Hilbert spaces. The semigroup theory is developed from the properties of the population operators and Laplacian operators. Then the approximate controllability results of the system are obtained using C 0 -semigroup approach and some other simple conditions on the nonlinear term and operators involved in the model.
