Abstract
This paper investigates the existence and controllability of second-order functional differential equations with infinite delay, incorporating random operators. The existence of solutions is established using the Schauder fixed point theorem, ensuring that solutions exist under specified conditions. Additionally, the controllability of the system is analyzed using fixed point theory, demonstrating that the solutions can be controlled under specific criteria. An example is included to illustrate the application of the theoretical results.
1. Introduction
In the field of functional differential equations and integral equations, extensive research has focused on understanding the existence, controllability, and properties of solutions in diverse scenarios. This compilation of references represents a wide array of research endeavors, each playing a crucial role in advancing our understanding of various aspects within this domain. Numerous research studies have made significant contribution to uncovering the underlying principles and mechanism that govern these equations, proving insight to their behavior and practical application in real-world scenarios. The foundational work of Ahmed [1] on semigroup theory elucidates its applications in systems and control, laying the groundwork for subsequent developments. Baghli and Benchohra contributions are notable, ranging from uniqueness results for partial functional differential equations [2] to existence results for different classes of functional equations [3, 4]. Pazy’s work on semigroups of linear operators [5] has been pivotal in comprehending solutions to partial differential equations. Dhage and Ntouyas have investigated the existence and attractivity of solutions for nonlinear random differential and integral equations [6, 7]. Lupulescu and Lungan’s exploration of random integral equations on time scales [8] contributes to the understanding of these equations in a broader context. Additionally, the references encompass investigations into second-order functional differential equations [9, 10], neutral functional equations, certain second-order nonlinear equations [11], and semilinear impulsive differential inclusions [12]. These works offer significant insights into diverse classes of functional equations and their applications across various domains. Moreover, recent research contributions are also included. Suresh et al. study on nonlocal impulsive neutral functional-differential equations [13], and Raghavendran et al. approach to solving fractional integro-differential equations using the Aboodh transform [14] represent contemporary advancements in the field. The compilation also includes seminal works by Travis and Webb [15, 16], Engl [17], Hale and Kato [18], Hino, Murakami, and Naito [19], and Pachpatte [20], among others, which have been foundational in shaping the theoretical framework and methodologies used in the study of functional differential equations [1, 2]. Controllability of differential equations with complex features such as impulses, nonlocal terms, and infinite delays has been extensively studied [21], addresses the controllability of second-order functional evolution differential equations in cases where uniqueness is not guaranteed. The work by [22] emphasizes the existence and approximate controllability of impulsive second-order control differential equations. Further [23], which investigate the approximate controllability of systems with non-local neutral impulsive differential inclusions and damping. Additionally [24], explore the controllability of impulsive stochastic Volterra–Fredholm integro-differential systems with infinite delays. These studies collectively highlight the challenges and methodologies for achieving controllability in various complex systems. In summary, this collection of references signifies the breadth and depth of research efforts dedicated to understanding and solving various classes of functional differential and integral equations, encompassing both foundational and recent contributions.

The space of bounded (D) uniformly continuous (C) functions defined from (−∞, 0] to is denoted by CUD. The Banach space of all continuous, bounded functions from (−∞, T] into with the standard norm is referred to as CD = CD(−∞, T].
The Banach space of continuous and bounded functions mapping [0, T] into , endowed with the standard norm, is denoted as CD′ = CD′[0, T] at this juncture. Its norm, represented as , is defined as the supremum over the interval [0, T] of the absolute values of these functions, denoted as |δ(t)|.
Definition 1 (see [17].)Let Q be a mapping from Ω into 2Φ. A mapping T : (ϖ, δ) : ϖ ∈ Ω∧δ ∈ Q(ϖ)⟶Φ is called random operator with stochastic domain Q if Q is measurable and for every open set and all δ ∈ Φ, . We will say that T is continuous if every T(ϖ) is continuous, where F is a σ-Borel algebra of Ω.
Definition 2 (see [17].)A mapping δ : Ω⟶Φ is known as a random (stochastic) fixed point of a random operator T if, for p-almost all ϖ ∈ Ω, it satisfies the properties δ(ϖ) ∈ Q(ϖ), T(ϖ)δ(ϖ) = δ(ϖ), and for every open set . (i.e., δ is measurable).
Remark 2. If Q(ϖ) ≡ Φ, the definitions of a random operator with a stochastic domain and a random operator coincide.
Lemma 1 (see [17].)Let Q : Ω⟶2Φ be measurable for any ϖ ∈ Ω such that Q(ϖ) is closed, convex, and solid (i.e., int (ϖ) ≠ ∅). Consider there is a measurable random variable named δ0 : Ω⟶Φ with δ0 ∈ intQ(ϖ) for every ϖ ∈ Ω. Assume T is a continuous random operator with the stochastic domain Q such that {δ ∈ Q(ϖ) : T(ϖ)δ = δ} ≠ ∅ for every ϖ ∈ Ω. Following that, T has a stochastic fixed point.
Also for we have for and δt(ℵ) = δ(t + ℵ) for ℵ ∈ (−∞, 0].
3. Existence Results for Functional Differential Equation
We now present our primary existence result regarding problem (1). The definition of a random mild solution comes first.
Definition 3. If δ0 = ∅ and the continuous function and solves the integral equation then it is referred to as a mild solution to equation (1).
Now, we have listed the hypotheses that will be discussed in the following section.
-
(G1): There exists a continuous function such that for all and , the inequality holds:
() -
(G2): For every , the function is continuous, and for all , the function is strongly measurable.
-
(G3): For each positive integer m, there exists such that for almost every , and for ℵ, δ satisfying ‖ℵ‖ ≤ m and ‖δ‖ ≤ m, the inequality holds:
() -
(G4): There exist a random funtion such that
() -
(G5): T1(t), t > 0 is compact.
Theorem 1. Given that conditions (G1)–(G5) are satisfied, problem (1) possesses a mild random solution over the interval (−∞, T].
Proof 1. Consider the set , defined as the collection of functions u in such that u(0, ϖ) = ϕ1(0, ϖ) = 0. is equipped with the uniform convergence topology. Additionally, let be the random operator.
We will demonstrate that the mapping defined by (11) constitutes a random operator. To achieve this, we must establish that for any , is a random variable. Initially, observe that is measurable, given that the mapping ϕ(t, ε, δ) for and is measurable according to conditions (G1)–(G5).
Let be defined as . Then, for all , D(ϖ) is bounded, closed, convex, and solid. Moreover, we know that D is measurable. Utilizing the hypotheses, for each , we have:
This implies that F is a random operator with a stochastic domain D.
Now, we need to demonstrate that the operator defined in (11) is completely continuous. Let for k ≥ 1.
First, we need to show that F maps into an equicontinuous family. Consider and with 0 ≤ t1 ≤ t2 ≤ ω. Then, we have
As far as we are aware, T1(t), T2(t) are uniformly continuous for and their compactness for t > 0 proves the uniform operator topology is continuous. Since the righthand side of the above inequalities are independent. Therefore, ‖(F(ϖ)δ)(t1) − (F(ϖ)δ)(t2)‖⟶0 as (t1 − t2)⟶0. Hence, F maps into an equicontinuous family of functions. The equicontinuity for the cases t1 ≤ t2 ≤ 0 and t1 ≤ 0 ≤ t2 follows from the uniform continuity of F on (−∞, 0] and from the relation,
Since proving that is uniformly bounded is straightforward, certain details will be omitted. Having established that forms an equicontinuous family, the task now is to demonstrate that is compact. To establish this, we need to demonstrate that the set,
Since T1(t), T2(t) are compact operators the set is relatively compact in for every ϵ, 0 < ϵ < t, Therefore by our hypothesis and for all , we have
Hence, there exist precompact sets arbitrarily close to the set W(t). Thus, W(t) is also precompact in .
Now, our aim is to prove the continuity of . Let δn⟶δ in , where . We have
Now, we apply by dominance convergence theorem
Hence, as n⟶∞, indicating that F is continuous. Since is uniformly bounded, continuous, and compact, it is assured by Schauder’s fixed point theorem that F(ϖ) has a fixed point in . This completes the proof of the theorem.
4. Controllability of Functional Differential Equation
Definition 4. Problem (3) is said to be controllable over the interval (−∞, k], provided that for every final state δ1(ϖ), there exists a control y(t, ϖ) in , such that the solution δ(t, ϖ) of (3) satisfies δ(k, ϖ) = δ1(ϖ).
Now, we present our main existence result for problem (3), preceded by the definition of a mild random solution.
Definition 5. If δ0 = ∅ and the continuous function and solves the integral equation then it is referred to as a mild solution to equation (1).
Now, we have listed the additional hypotheses that will be discussed in the following section.
Let ϑ be the supremum of , and ϑ′ be the supremum of .
(G7) The linear operator , defined as , has a pseudo-inverse operator k−1 in , and there exists a positive constant G such that ‖Bk−1‖ ≤ G.
(G8) There exists a random function such that:
Theorem 2. If (G1)–(G8) are satisfied, then problem (3) is controllable on . Proof: Let us define the control:
Hence, the Operator N is uniformly bounded. Now, we have to prove that the Operator N is completely continuous. Now, we need to demonstrate that the operator defined in (11) is completely continuous. Let for k ≥ 1.
As ϕ(t, ε.,δ, ϖ) is continuous, we obtain

6. Conclusion
This study explored the existence and controllability of second-order functional differential equations, focusing on the difficulties caused by infinite delay. By using a Schauder fixed-point theorem, the study found solutions that have some randomness, showing the difficulty of solving these problems. Moreover, it provided strong proofs demonstrating that these equations can still be controlled, despite the challenges of infinite delay. The study also used an example to illustrate how this theoretical framework can be applied in real-life situations, particularly for managing systems with significant delays in controlled settings. This investigation greatly enhances our understanding of these complex equations and their practical relevance in real-world scenarios involving complex mathematical models.
