Abstract
In this article, we investigate the controllability of damped dynamical system modelled by Hilfer derivative of fractional order and
. The Mittag-Leffler matrix function of two parameters has been used to represent the solution of Hilfer fractional problem of damped dynamical system. With the use of the Schawder fixed point theorem and the contraction mapping theorem, the existence and uniqueness of the linear and non-linear system of Hilfer dynamical control system are determined. More specifically, fractional calculus are used to provide sufficient criteria for the controllability results. Finally, examples are given to show how the key results might be justified.
1. Introduction
In recent decades, the theory of fractional calculus, which includes fractional differential equations, has made significant advances in science and development, primarily by providing sufficient results for models, particularly for real-world problems. Moreover, fractional differential equation is considered to be the generalised differential equations. It is possible to consider a field of mathematical physics which deals on integro-differential equations in which the integrals are of the convolution form and also have predominantly power law or logarithm type single kernels, the diff-integral being an operator that contains both integer-order integrals and integer-order derivatives as special cases is the motive why in present, fractional calculus becomes very popular and many application arise from the term diff-integral, we mean both the integral of arbitrary order and derivative of arbitrary order (see Refs. [Citation1–3]). In this paper, we have considered diff-integrals of fractional order. Fluid flow, rheology, diffusive movement, power systems, probabilities, statistic, control theory of system dynamics, viscoelasticity, chemical quantum mechanics, optometry, data processing and several others are some of the fields where fractional calculus is used.
There are many definitions for fractional derivatives and fractional integrals in fractional calculus, but the Riemann-Liouville (R-L) and Caputo definitions are the most widely used (see, for instance, [Citation4–8]). In recent years, a new term, the Hilfer fractional derivatives, has gained prominence among the definitions of other derivatives. Hilfer fractional derivative is an expanded form of Riemann-Liouville (R-L) and Caputo fractional derivatives proposed by Hilfer [Citation9], which permits one to interpolate with another (for example, see Refs. [Citation10–14]). The use of functions such as Mittag-Leffler (M-L), Wright type function turn out to play a fundamental yet powerful role in solving fractional differential equations.
Fractional-order differential equations have lately emerged as helpful tools for simulating the dynamics of processes in complicated media in a variety of applications. The literature reveals an increasing interest in fractional dynamical systems related concerns identified towards control theory. Concepts of observability, controllability and stability play a key role in the control system. Controllability is one of the most basic principles in mathematical control theory. It denotes that a dynamic system can be directed from any initial state to any final state by utilising a set of controls. In layman terms from the word controllability we mean, if one can control a system from one point to another point then that system possess a control, thus making the system controllable. The concept of controllability behaves as the most important path in both finite and infinite dimensional spaces of system which are used by both ordinary and partial differential equations. Controllability is considered as an important property of the control system as it defines the behaviour of that control system. The theory of controllability was proposed by R. Kalman in the year 1960 Kalman et al. [Citation15]. Many authors have studied the linear and nonlinear functions of damped dynamical systems in recent years, and they have used the Gramian matrix and rank condition to predict controllability results in finite dimensional spaces, see Balachandran et al. [Citation16], Balachandran and Park [Citation17], Balachandran et al. [Citation18], Boudjerida et al. [Citation19]. Recent studies, Arthi et al. [Citation20] established the controllability of fractional damped dynamical systems with distributed delays using Caputo derivatives for both linear and nonlinear cases. Authors Balachandran and Kokila [Citation21] studied the controllability of linear and nonlinear fractional dynamical systems in finite dimensional spaces. Moreover stability, stabilizability of fractional-order stochastic system is also studied by various authors in Mchiri et al. [Citation22], Zhu [Citation23], Yang et al. [Citation24] with delay which are few examples of the recent developments of fractional calculus. Many authors Kumar et al. [Citation25], Darvishi et al. [Citation26], Yaro et al. [Citation27], Pratap et al. [Citation28], Shah et al. [Citation29] studied fractional wave equation, fractional-order neural networks with delay equation and much more which are a few applications of fractional differential equations.
In the literature, authors had investigated mechanical system

- constants. This model is studied to analyse the dynamics of certain gases dissolved in a fluid and the dynamics of a sphere submerged in an incompressible viscous fluid for see Torvik and Bagley [Citation30], Hartley and Lorenzo [Citation31], Gorenflo et al. [Citation32], Mainardi [Citation33]. Control of the above system is very crucial which was studied by K. Balachandran et al. [Citation34] by modifying certain terms and choosing apt constants

However, nowhere in the literature had the research on the controllability of a nonlinear Hilfer fractional dynamical system of order has been examined. In order to fill this space, we use the Mittag-Leffler matrix function and the Gramian matrix, where the forcing function f is taken to be in terms of the control function u, to investigate the controllability of a nonlinear Hilfer fractional dynamical system of order
in a finite dimensional space.
Inspired by the previous works, controllability of Hilfer derivative of nonlinear fractional damped dynamical systems of the below form

In the paper, Qiao et al. [Citation35], bilinear method is used to solve the problem whereas we had analysed successive approximation method. In precise, Hilfer derivative helps in calculating the theoretical simulation of dielectric relaxation in glass-forming materials, rheological constitute modelling, polymer science, control theory, etc.
The following are the work's primary contribution:
The Hilfer dynamical fractional problem
is solved based on Mittag-Leffler matrix function making use of Laplace convolution operator.
Later, for the linear Hilfer dynamic control problem
,
if the system is controllable or not is found out using the theorem involving controllability Grammian matrix.
Then controllability of non-linear dynamical control problem
.
is proved using Arzela – Ascoli theorem and Schawder fixed point theorem.
Controllability of Hilfer Integro-differential systems
is solved using contraction mapping theorem.
At last, numerical result is obtained which validates our results.
The following is an overview of the paper's structure: Section 2 contains a list of preliminary concepts that are applicable to our results and will be helpful in the sections that follow. In Section 3, we studied the linear fractional dynamical system of Hilfer fractional derivative. Then we discuss the nonlinear dynamical system in Section 4. In Section 5, we study on integro-differential systems and then example is illustrated in Section 6.

and
are matrices.
Definition 3.1
Balachandran et al. [Citation34]
On , the system (Equation5
(5)
(5) ) is considered to be controllable if, for each vector
there exists a control
such that the corresponding solution of system (Equation5
(5)
(5) ) with
satisfies
.
We should notice that we are only interested with steering states in our controllability definition, not the velocity vector.
Theorem 3.1
The linear system (Equation5(5)
(5) ) is controllable on
iff the
Gramian matrix
(6)
(6) is invertible.
Proof.
When is invertible, the initial conditions a, b, c and
are given. We have the option of selecting the input function
as
where,
and extend the control function which is continuous for all the values of q. let we take q = T, then y can be written as
Therefore, the linear system (Equation5
(5)
(5) ) is controllable on
.
Assume that the state equation is controllable, but that the matrix is not invertible for the purpose of a contradiction. If
cannot be inverted, therefore, the vector
exists. Such that
hence
(7)
(7) Let we take the initial and final condition, then if the system is controllable, there exists the control
on
. It steers from 0 to
at q = T. Then
Using Equation (Equation7
(7)
(7) ),
is multiplied on both sides, yields
, which is a contradiction. Therefore, the Gramian matrix is invertible, which proves the theorem.
Theorem 3.2

(8)
(8)
Proof.
To attempt, we show that the required condition has two cases.
Case 1:
Assume , and our system (Equation5
(5)
(5) ) is controllable for the values of a, b, c = 0 and initial control
for any
Using the control system (3.1), there exists the control , such that

(9) According to the Cayley Hamilton theorem, there are functions
on the interval
. As a result
(10)
(10) Let

Now Equations (Equation9(9)
(9) ), (Equation10
(10)
(10) ) imply
. Hence
thus holding Equation (Equation8
(8)
(8) ).
Case 2:
If , it is similar to case 1, so proof is ignored.
Next, the sufficient part is demonstrated in both cases.
Case 1:
For time , we consider that the system (Equation5
(5)
(5) ) holds. Then for

(5)
(5) ) is controllable for

(5)
(5) ) is controllable for

4. Nonlinear system
With having the results derived in the previous section, we shall now take the differential equation of fractional order nonlinear system of the form,
Case 1: Nonlinear function without control
(12)
(12) where

Choose r>0, such that ,
Theorem 4.1
If the system (Equation5(5)
(5) ) is controllable then the system (Equation12
(12)
(12) ) is also controllable on
, if there exists the function h which satisfies the condition
.
Proof.
We use the successive approximation technique to prove the results, hence we define
(13)
(13) where,
(14)
(14) where
Since
is a given vector, the sequence of the functions
is established. Now we must demonstrate that
in Y is a Cauchy sequence.
It is clear that,
and
Then
Further,
It is simple to obtain the estimation using this inequality and the induction method.
Because the right-hand side of the above estimation can be made arbitrarily small by choosing a large enough value for n, This means that in Y,
is a Cauchy sequence. The sequence
converges uniformly to a continuous function
on
since Y is complete. Thus we have
where,
Which is followed by defining the limit as
on both sides of Equations (Equation13
(13)
(13) ) and (Equation14
(14)
(14) ). Clearly
This indicates that if the system is controllable on
, the control
leads the system from the initial state
in time T.
Case 2: Nonlinear function with control
(15)
(15)
Theorem 4.2
Let the continuous function h satisfy the condition
(16)
(16) uniformly in
and if the system (Equation5
(5)
(5) ) is controllable then the system (Equation15
(15)
(15) ) is also controllable on
.
Proof.
Define by
, Then
and
The function h satisfies the following conditions. For each pair of positive constants χ and d, the positive constant r exists such that, if
, then
(17)
(17) Also for given χ and ε, the Equation (Equation17
(17)
(17) ) satisfies for r which is a constant. Then any
such that
, will also satisfy the Equation (Equation17
(17)
(17) ). Now take χ and ε as given above and let r be taken so that the mentioned inequality is satisfied.
Therefore, if and
then
. It follows that
, therefore,
and hence
which gives
Thus we have prove that if
and
Then is a mapping form
into
. Because h is continuous, the operator is also continuous, and so the system is completely continuous when the Arzela – Ascoli theorem is applied. Since

has a fixed point
such that
.
Hence we have,
Thus

(15)
(15) ), it is easy to verify that the
.
Hence the system (Equation15(15)
(15) ) is controllable of
.
5. Integro-differential systems
Consider the fractional differential equations that represent the nonlinear integro fractional dynamical system
(18)
(18) where
and
are continuous functions and
. Also
,
and
are defined as earlier.
Let us take the Nonlinear integro damped dynamical system,
(19)
(19) Then the solution of above equation is
(20)
(20) Assume the following conditions,
Let

,
, and the functions h and f are continuous such that,
Let the function h is continuous and the constant
exist, such that

such that,
Let
be such that
.
In short, let us define the following as per our problem variables,
Theorem 5.1
Assume that the function h satisfies the conditions . If the system (Equation5
(5)
(5) ) is controllable, then the system (Equation18
(18)
(18) ) is also controllable on
.
Proof.
Let us Define the operator by
(21)
(21) where
(22)
(22) We shall now define
, where

where,
It is very obvious that the operator
maps
to
, thus we can say that

We can say that the fixed point exists using the Schauder Fixed Point theorem, such that
(z)
. And by Contraction mapping theorem, we say that there exists a unique fixed point
such that
.
Let us substitute Equation (Equation22(22)
(22) ) in Equation (Equation21
(21)
(21) ) to obtain
, that implies
.
Hence the Non Linear Integro system is controllable.

Conclusion
The presented paper investigated the controllability criteria of fractional damped dynamical systems of Hilfer derivative of linear and non linear cases. Using some assumption of our controllability Gramian matrix and some fixed point theorem, the results are obtained for both linear and nonlinear systems. We also analysed the nonlinear integro-fractional dynamical system. We included numerical examples to justify our results. In the next work, we will analyse the stability of the Hilfer dynamical system and compare the results.
