On the optimal controllability for a class of Katugampola fractional systems

Abstract This study is centered on the optimal controllability of differential equations involving fractional derivatives of Katugampola. We derive both necessary and sufficient conditions for optimal controllability by extending Gronwall’s inequality with singular kernels. Furthermore, we establish conditions ensuring the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions using the Banach fixed-point theorem and the generalized Laplace transform. To underscore the practical relevance of our findings, we provide an illustrative example.
