Abstract
This paper focuses on the approximate controllability of Hilfer fractional neutral Volterra integro-differential inclusions via almost sectorial operators. Almost sectorial operators, fractional differential, Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem and multivalued maps are used to prove the result. We start by emphasizing the existence of a mild solution and demonstrate the approximate controllability of the fractional system. In addition, an example is presented to demonstrate the principle.

1. Introduction
Controllability is a well-known (quantitative and qualitative) feature of a control system that is important in many control issues in finite and infinite dimensional domains. In recent decades, researchers have been drawn to control problems, and substantial contributions to theory and applications have been made. Controllability is a fundamental quality of a control system that aids in solving various control problems, such as the stabilization of unstable systems via feedback control. As a result, difficulties in controllability for various linear, nonlinear stochastic, and deterministic dynamic systems have garnered much attention. Furthermore, approximate controllability is becoming increasingly common, and approximate controllability is frequently sufficient in applications. For further details, consult the articles in [1,2,3,4,5].
In modern mathematics, the fundamentals of fractional computation and the fractional differential equation have taken center stage. The idea of fractional computation has now been tested in various social, physical, signal, image processing, biological, control theory, engineering, etc., challenges. However, it has been demonstrated that fractional differential equations may be valuable for describing various situations. For many realistic applications, fractional-order models are superior to integer-order models. The research articles in [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13] are concerned with the theory of fractional differential systems, and readers will find several fascinating findings about fractional dynamical systems.
Neutral functional differential systems have received a lot of interest recently since they are used in many areas of applied mathematics, biological models, electronics, fluid dynamics, and chemical kinetics. Neutral structures with delays or without delays, in particular, serve as a summary association of a vast number of partial neutral structures that emerge in issues with heat flow in substances, viscoelasticity, and a range of natural processes. The most effective neutral structures have received a lot of attention in the recent generation because neutral systems are prevalent in many applications of applied mathematics. Neutral fractional differential systems with or without delays have lately been produced by a large number of researchers who have made use of a variety of fixed-point techniques, mild solutions, noncompactness measures, nonlocal conditions and stochastic systems. We can refer to [14,15,16,17,18,19,20] for more information.
Other fractional derivatives were introduced by Hilfer [21], including the Riemann-Liouville (R–L) derivative and Caputo fractional derivative. Many scholars have recently shown tremendous interest in this area, which has sparked effort such as those in [22,23,24,25,26,27], where the researchers established their results with the help of the fixed point method.
Zhou et al. [28] focused on the existence of a mild solution of Hilfer fractional differential equations with the order and the type in the abstract sense, as follows:
where A denotes the almost sectorial operator of the analytic semigroup and Schauder fixed point theorem is used.
Zhang and Zhou [29] demonstrated the existence of fractional Cauchy problems using almost sectorial operators of the following type:
where is the derivative of order , is the integral of order , and A is an almost sectorial operator on a complex Banach space. We refer to [30,31,32,33] for more information.
Prior conclusions from the literature are expanded based on these discoveries to a class of Hilfer fractional differential systems where the closed operator is almost sectorial. However, few articles have reported on the study of Hilfer fractional differential inclusions with almost sectorial operators, so we are interested in its study.
This article will examine the Hilfer fractional neutral Volterra integro-differential inclusion, which contains almost sectorial operators
where is an almost sectorial operator of the analytic semigroup on Y. denotes the Hilfer fractional derivative of order and type . Let be the state in a Banach space Y with norm and be the control function in , where U is the Banach space. Here, is an operator in the control term. Let be a nonempty multivalued mapping, which is closed, bounded and convex, and are the required mappings.
This study aims to prove that inclusions (1) and (2) in Banach space become approximately controllable under fundamental system operator assumptions, in particular that the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable. The major goal of this work is to find enough circumstances for inclusions to be approximately controllable. The article is divided into the following sections. In Section 2, we cover the principles of fractional calculus, semi-group, sectorial operators and multivalued maps. In Section 3, initially, we establish the existence of the mild solution and then continue to examine the approximate controllability of the system. In Section 4, we cover an illustration of our key concepts. Finaly, Section 5 provides some conclusions.

3. Approximate Controllability
We need the following succeeding hypotheses:

Hypotheses 2 (H2).
Let be measurable to for each fixed and upper semi continuous to for each , and for each ,

Hypotheses 6 (H6).
Let be the completely continuous, and for any bounded set D subset of ∁, the set is equicontinuous in Y.
Before looking into the approximation of controllability of the non-linear control system, we first examine its linear component in (1) and (2),
Here, is a linear bounded operator .
Now, we go through some key terms:
where and are the adjoint of and , respectively, and is the linear bounded operator.
Now, for every , and , consider
where
Theorem 1.
where
and
Proof.
Consider the multivalued map , defined as
Show that has a fixed point. Let
Step 1: For every , is convex.
Consider . We know
Take ; then, for each , we have
We know that is convex. Therefore, .
Furthermore,
Hence, is convex.
Step 2: is bounded on bounded sets of . It is adequate to show that there exists a that is a constant such that, for each , one has . Consider that, for every , we have
where
Hence, it is bounded.
Step 3: Equicontinuity of on the set of . Consider and that there exists ; we have
By the strong continuity of , we have The equicontinuity of ensures that
Then, as by using and the Lebesgue’s dominated convergent theorem.
Consider
and that exists ; then, using the dominated convergence theorem, we have
so we conclude .
For any , we have
From Theorem 4 and , we have independently of as , .
tends to zero as .
Similar to the proof of and , we have that and tend to zero.
Hence, independently of as . Therefore, is equicontinuous on .
Step 4: The relatively compact of in Y
Set and a positive value q, and let be the operator from , defined as
Therefore, is precompact in Y for all , since is compact. For every , we have
So, is arbitrary closed to . Therefore, using the Arzela–Ascoli Theorem, is relatively compact. The continuity and relatively compactness of imply that is a completely continuous operator.
Step 5: has a closed graph.
Considering that as , and as , we have to show . Since , then there exists a function such that
We need to show that there exists ,
Clearly,
Next, we define an operator ,
We have, by Lemma 5, that is a closed graph operator. Therefore, by referring to , we have
since , it follows from Lemma 5 that
Hence, is a closed graph.
Step 6: The operator has a solution. It is enough to prove that the given set is bounded.
Let . Then, for some . Thus, there exists in ways that, for each , we have
By assumptions , we have
From step 2, we have
Then, by our assumption, there exists as a constant such that . Set . Comprehensibly, is a closed subset of . Based on ’s selection, there is no such that for some . Then, the statement in Lemma (6) does not hold. As a result of the Leray–Schauder type’s nonlinear alternative, we are able to determine that the statement of Lemma (6) is true. Hence, the operator has a fixed point, which is the mild solution of the systems (1) and (2). □
Definition 8
Theorem 2.
Proof.
Assume that is a fixed point of in . From (1), any fixed point of is the mild solution of –. Furthermore, from the results on the Dunford–Pettis Theorem, we conclude that there is a subsequence that converges weakly to in . For every , there exists ,
where
and
Taking note of , we obtain
Furthermore, by our assumptions, there exists a constant such that . Consequently, the sequence has a subsequence still denoted by , that weakly converges to .
Take
and
The compactness of the operator is deduced, and the uniform boundedness of suggests that there exists some such as ,
Hence, for every , we have . Additionally, by approximate controllability of system (6), we have as in the strong topology. As a result, we have that ,
4. Example
Consider the following system:
where is the of order and type , is the R-L integral of order , and are the required functions. Let and be an almost sectorial operator defined by with the domain
The operator generates an analytic semigroup and is defined by
Moreover, has a discrete spectrum, the eigen values agree with orthogonal eigen vectors . Then,
Specifically, is a uniformly stable semigroup and .
Consider , , and bounded linear operator where is continuous in . Now, for any , , we define the function ,
where
Additionally, is completely continuous mapping, defined as . Therefore, fractional system (7) is written as the nonlinear Cauchy problems (1) and (2).
Clearly, is uniformly bounded. Then, the hypotheses are satisfied. However, the linear system that corresponds to (7) is approximately controllable; thus, the Theorem 1 is true. As a result, the requirements of Theorem 2 are met in full. Therefore, the inclusion in (1) and (2) is therefore approximately controllable on .
5. Conclusions
This paper concentrated on the approximate controllability of Hilfer fractional neutral Volterra integro-differential inclusions via an approximately sectorial operator. The major conclusions are established by applying the results and ideas belonging to almost sectorial operators, fractional differential, multivalued map and fixed point method. We first proved the existence of the mild solution of the fractional system and then looked into the approximate controllability. Finally, to explain the principle, we offered an example. In the future, the authors will use a fixed point technique to study the exact controllability of the Hilfer fractional derivative using almost sectorial operators and will try to develop some real-life applications related to Hilfer fractional differential systems because there are only a few studies with real-life applications.
