Existence results for some functional integrodifferential equations with state-dependent delay
Abstract.
In this work, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of
solutions for some functional integrodifferential equations with
state-dependent delay in Banach spaces. We use -semigroup theory and
a fixed point approach based on Banach and Sadovskii’s fixed point theorems,
nonlinear alternative for condensing maps, Bihari’s inequality and the
technique of equivalent norms. Applications ares provided to a
reaction-diffusion equation with state-dependent delay.
Keywords and Phrases: mild solution, functional integrodifferential equation with state-dependent delay, -semigroup, nonlinear alternative, condensing map.
1. Introduction
In this work, we study the existence of solutions for the following functional integrodifferential equation with state-dependent delay,

and we are interested into mild solutions of problem (1.1), in the space . The results are based on Banach and Sadovskii fixed point theorems, the nonlinear alternative for condensing maps, Bihari’s inequality and on the technique of equivalent norms.
In [23], the author investigated the existence and regularity of solutions to the following integrodifferential equation

Recently, Ezzinbi and Koumla [9] considered equation (1.3) with finite and infinite delay. They obtained their result via Banach’s fixed point theorem. Koumla and al. [14, 15] have considered a class of perturbed semilinear neutral functional integrodifferential equations with finite delay, under some approaches that are commonly used: the contraction mapping principle and Schauder’s fixed point theorem.
Functional differential equations with state-dependent delay appear frequently in applications as models of real processes and for this reason the study of this type of equations has received great attention in recent years. For the theory of differential equations with state-dependent delay and its applications, we refer the reader to the handbook by Cañada et al. [5] and the papers [1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17]. The study of partial differential equations with state-dependent delay has been initiated recently. For the case when generates a -semigroup, we refer to Hernandez et al. [13]. In the case where problem (1.1) has been studied by several authors. Thus, Belmekki et al. [3] established the existence of solutions of problem (1.1) when and The authors proved the existence of solutions by using a Leray-Schauder type alternative and the semigroup theory. In [16], the author uses fixed point arguments, namely the Rothe type fixed point theorem to establish the controllability of a class of retarded semilinear systems. The solutions are understood in the sense of mild solutions too.
Our work is mainly motivated by papers [14] and [23]. We generalize the method used in [3] and [14] to derive the existence of mild solutions of (1.1). The obtained results represent a generalization and a continuation of those from papers [3, 14].
The organization of this work is as follows: in Section 2, we collect some useful notions and results; in Section 3, we give our main results: an existence and uniqueness result based on Banach’s contraction principle and the technique of equivalent norms; an existence result based on Sadovskii’s fixed point theorem; and an existence result based on the nonlinear alternative for condensing maps. Finally, in Section 4 we present applications to a reaction-diffusion integrodifferential equation with state-dependent delay.
2. Preliminaries
In this section, we recall some notions and results that we need in the following.

solution of (2.3), i.e., and satisfies pointwise the differential
equation.

In this paper we shall use the technique of equivalent norms related to the space primary endowed with the max norm
As in [4], the space can be equipped with an equivalent norm defined by

which proves the equivalence of the norms and on Note that the use of an equivalent norm with a suitable large enough is extremely convenient when dealing with Volterra type equations (see [15, 14, 19, 20]).
We conclude this preliminary section by stating two basic results that are used in this paper. The first one is Bihari’s inequality (see, e.g., [21]).
Theorem 2.2 (Bihari inequality).

Another tool in our approach is the nonlinear alternative for condensing maps (see, e.g., [11, p. 133]).
Theorem 2.3 (Nonlinear alternative).
Let be a Banach space and be closed convex with Let be a condensing map. Then either (i) has a fixed point, or (ii) the set is unbounded.
3. Main results
In view of (2.4), by a mild solution of problem (1.1) we mean the function with for such that
for all Thus, is a mild solution of (1.1) if it is a fixed point of the operator given by
where and it is understood that for Note that in view of (1.2), the operator is well-defined since
Also note that it is a causal operator in the sense of Corduneanu [7], which makes possible to use the technique of equivalent norms.
3.1. An existence and uniqueness result
Our first result gives the existence and uniqueness of the mild solution of (1.1), in the set assuming that the delay is not state-dependent.The result is obtained via Banach’s contraction principle with respect to an equivalent norm on with a suitable large enough number and using global Lipschitz conditions on Here are the hypotheses:
- (H1):
-

for all and
Theorem 3.1.
Assume that condition (H1) holds and In addition assume that for all . Then problem (1.1) has a unique mild solution
Proof.
We look for a fixed point of the operator given by (3). In order to apply Banach’s contraction principle, we need to prove that is a contraction on with respect the metric introduced by a suitable norm on To show this, consider two arbitrary functions and any Using (2.1) and H we have
It follows that
(3.3) |
Since
we deduce that
For this inequality yields
Dividing by and taking the maximum for gives
Therefore, in view of the assumption for large enough that
The operator is a contraction on with respect to the norm and according to Banach’s fixed point theorem it has in a unique fixed point. ∎
3.2. Existence under compactness conditions
For the next results, instead of the Lipschitz conditions on and we shall assume that semigroup is compact. The existence of solutions to problem (1.1) will be established via topological fixed point theorems involving condensing operators. For these results the delay can be state-dependent. We start with a result about the condensing property of our operator
We need the following conditions:
- (H2) (i):
-
The map is continuous and map bounded sets into bounded sets;
- (ii):
-
The map is continuous and its primitive with respect to that is the map given by
maps bounded sets into bounded sets;
- (iii):
-
The map is continuous and satisfies
for all and and
- (iv):
-
The semigroup is compact.
Lemma 3.2.
Under assumption (H2), the operator is condensing.
Proof.
The continuity of the operator follows directly from the continuity of and
Clearly, from (iii), the operator given by
is a contraction with Lipschitz constant It remains to show that is completely continuous, i.e., it maps bounded sets into relatively compact sets. Let be any bounded subset of and let be a bound of i.e., for all We have to prove that the set is (a) uniformly bounded, (b) uniformly equicontinuous and that (c) for each the set is relatively compact in Without loss of generality, we assume that constant in (2.1) is positive.
(a) Since maps bounded sets into bounded sets, there is a constant depending on such that for all and Then
(3.4) |
for all and Similarly, since maps bounded sets into bounded sets, there is a constant depending on such that for all and Hence
(3.5) |
for all and Now (3.4) and (3.5) show that is uniformly bounded on
(b) To prove the uniform equicontinuity on of the set of functions take any Assume We have
Since
and as one has that for any there is a with
if Then
and so
Analogously, there is a constant with
Since two constants and only depend on we may infer that is uniformly equicontinuous in
(c) The set is relatively compact in for every For it reduces to the so it is compact. Let We need to show that the sets
are relatively compact in Now, let and Then
Using (3.4) we have
which together with the compactness of gives
Next using (3.4) we have
which based on Lemma 2.1 (vi) gives
Then
and letting we obtain
that is the set is relatively compact in The proof of the relative compactness of is analogous and we omit it. ∎
3.2.1. Existence via Sadovskii’s fixed point theorem
Our second existence result is obtained via Sadovskii’s fixed point theorem assuming a linear growth of and Namely.

-
There are constants and such that
(3.6) for all and
Theorem 3.3.
Assume that conditions (H2) and (H3) hold. Then problem (1.1) has at least one mild solution
Proof.
From Lemma 3.2, the operator is condensing. In order to apply Sadovskii’s theorem it suffices to find a closed bounded and convex subset of which is invariated by More precisely we shall prove the existence of two numbers such that
(3.7) |
We start from the following estimate immediately derived from (3.1) (take ) by using (3.6):
where Then
whence
Therefore, in view of the assumption for large enough that
one has (3.7) for Thus Sadovskii’s fixed point theorem applies to the condensing operator restricted to the closed bounded and convex set
∎
3.2.2. Existence via nonlinear alternative
One can relax the growth conditions on and as shows the following hypothesis:
- (H4):
-
There exist continuous functions and nondecreasing continuous functions such that
for all and
Theorem 3.4.
Assume that conditions (H2) and (H4) hold. In addition assume that

where
Then problem (1.1) has at least one mild solution
Proof.
Here again, Lemma 3.2 guarantees that the operator is condensing. In order to apply the nonlinear alternative, Theorem 2.3, we have to find a priori bounds of solutions, more exactly to show that the set
is bounded. Let Then for some one has
Let be defined by
Clearly is nondecreasing and
The problem is to find a bound of function independent of and Let be such that
Obviously, if such a point does not exist, then and the bound for is Let be any point, hence and let be a point with From (3.2.2), since one finds
If we use we deduce that
whence
Now we use Bihari’s inequality, Theorem 2.2, with and
In order to have the bound of on the whole interval we need given by (2.5) to be This is guaranteed by our assumption (3.8). Therefore, Theorem 2.2 applies and implies that there exists a constant such that for all and does not depend on the solution and
Finally, Theorem 2.3 guaranteed that has a fixed point in ∎
4. Applications
To apply our previous results, we consider the following problem related to a partial functional integrodifferential equation:

where Here is the Banach space of the continuous real functions defined on vanishing at and equipped with the uniform norm topology. Also is defined as
It is known that generates a strongly continuous semigroup on which is compact. If we let and then problem (4.1) appears as a particular case of the abstract problem (1.1).
Theorem 4.1.
Proof.
(a) All the assumptions of Theorem 3.1 are fulfilled. In this case, one has
