Abstract. According to semigroup theories and Sadovskii fixed point theorem, this paper is mainly concerned with the existence of solutions for an
impulsive neutral differential and integrodifferential systems with nonlocal conditions in Banach spaces. As an application of this main theorem, a practical
consequence is derived for the sub-linear growth case. In the end, an example
is also given to show the application of our result.

1. Introduction
Many evolution process are characterized by the fact that at certain moments
of time they experience a change of state abruptly. These processes are subject
to short-term perturbations whose duration is negligible in comparison with the
duration of the process. Consequently, it is natural to assume that these perturbations act instantaneously, that is, in the form of impulses. It is known, for
example, that many biological phenomena involving thresholds, bursting rhythm

models in medicine and biology, optimal control model in economics, pharmacokinetics and frequency modulated systems, do exhibit impulsive effects. Thus
differential equations involving impulsive effects appear as a natural description
of observed evolution phenomena of several real world problems. For more details

on this theory and on its applications we refer to the monographs of Lakshmikantham et al. [14], and Samoilenko and Perestyuk [20] for the case of ordinary
impulsive system and [5, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, 21] for partial differential and partial
functional differential equations with impulses.

The starting point of this paper is the work in papers [9, 10]. Especially,
authors in [10] investigated the existence of solutions for the system
d
[x(t) + F (t, x(t), x(b1 (t)), . . . , x(bm (t)))] + Ax(t)
dt
= G(t, x(t), x(a1 (t)), . . . , x(an (t))), 0 ≤ t ≤ a,
x(0) + g(x) = x0 ,
by using fractional powers of operators and Sadovskii fixed point theorem. And
in [9], authors studied the following neutral partial differential equations of the
form
d
[x(t) − F (t, x(h1 (t)))] = −A[x(t) − F (t, x(h1 (t)))] + G(t, x(h2 (t))), t ∈ J
dt
x(0) + g(x) = x0 ∈ X,
by using fractional powers of operators and Banach contraction fixed point theorem. Motivated by above mentioned works [9, 10], the main purpose of this paper
is to prove the existence of mild solutions for the following impulsive neutral partial differential equations in a Banach space X:
d
[x(t) − F (t, x(t), x(b1 (t)), . . . , x(bm (t)))] = A[x(t) − F (t, x(t), x(b1 (t)), . . . , x(bm (t)))]

∆x|t=tk = Ik (x(t−
k )),

k = 1, 2, . . . , m,

x(0) + g(x) = x0 ∈ X,

(1.2)
(1.3)

where the linear operator A generates an analytic semigroup {T (t)}t≥0 , ∆x|t=tk =

−
Ik (x(t−
k )), where x(tk ) and x(tk ) represent the right and left limits of x(t) at
t = tk , respectively. F, G and g are given functions to be specified later.
Finally in section 3, we prove the existence results for the following impulsive
neutral integrodifferential equations of the form
d

[x(t) − F (t, x(t), x(b1 (t)), . . . , x(bm (t)))] = A[x(t) − F (t, x(t), x(b1 (t)), . . . , x(bm (t)))]

with the conditions (1.2)-(1.3), where A, F, G, Ik are as defined in (1.1)-(1.3)
and K : D → R, D = {(t, s) ∈ J × J : t ≥ s}.
The nonlocal Cauchy problem was considered by Byszewski [3] and the importance of nonlocal conditions in different fields has been discussed in [3] and [8]

and the references therein. For example, in [8] the author described the diffusion
phenomenon of a small amount of gas in a transparent tube by using the formula
p

X
Ci x(ti ),
g(x) =
i=0

where Ci , i = 0, 1, . . . , p are given constants and 0 < t1 < t2 < · · · < tp < b.
In this case the above equation allows the additional measurement at ti , i =
0, 1, . . . , p. In the past several years theorems about existence, uniqueness of differential and impulsive functional differential abstract evolution Cauchy problem
with nonlocal conditions have been studied by Byszewski and Lakshmikantham
[4], by Akca et al. [1], by Anguraj et al. [2], by Fu et al. [9, 10] and by Chang et
al. [6] and the references therein.
This paper has four sections. In the next section we recall some basic definitions
and preliminary facts which will be used throughout this paper. In section 3 we
prove the existence results for the system (1.1)-(1.3) without assume the boundedness condition on Ik , k = 1, 2, . . . , m, and also we prove the existence results
for an impulsive neutral integrodifferential system (1.4) with the conditions (1.2)(1.3). As an immediate result of the obtained theorem, a practical consequence
is derived for the sub-linear growth of impulsive functions Ik , k = 1, 2, . . . , m
and the nonlocal initial function g. Finally, in section 4 an example is presented
to illustrate the application of the obtained results. This paper extends and
generalize the results of [9, 10].
2. Preliminaries

In this section, we introduce some results, notations and lemma which are
needed to establish our main results.
Let X be a Banach space provided with norm k · k. Let A : D(A) → X is the
infinitesimal generator of a compact analytic semigroup of uniformly bounded
linear operator T (t) on X. It well known that there exist M ≥ 1 and w ∈ R
such that kT (t)k ≤ M ewt for every t ≥ 0. If {T (t)}t≥0 is uniformly bounded and
analytic semigroup such that 0 ∈ ρ(A), then it is possible to define the fractional
power (−A)α , for 0 < α ≤ 1, as closed linear operator on its domain D(−A)α .
Furthermore, the subspace D(−A)α is dense in X and the expression
kxkα = k(−A)α xk,

x ∈ D(−A)α ,

defines a norm on D(−A)α . For more details of fractional power of operators and
semigroup theory, we refer Pazy [16].
From the above theory, we define the following lemma.
Lemma 2.1 ([10, 16]). The following properties hold:
(i) If 0 < β < α ≤ 1, then Xα ֒→ Xβ and the imbedding is compact whenever
the resolvent operator of A is compact.
(ii) For the every 0 < α ≤ 1, there exists Cα > 0 such that

k(−A)α T (t)k ≤

Cα
,
tα

0 < t 0 of P (H) ⊂ H for a convex,
closed, and bounded set H of X, then P has fixed point in H ( where α(·) denotes
Kuratowski’s measure of noncompactness).
3. Existence results
In order to define the solution of the problem (1.1)-(1.3), we consider the following space
+
Ω = {x : J → X, xk ∈ C(Jk , X), k = 0, 1, . . . , m, and there exist x(t−
k ) and x(tk ),

k = 0, 1, 2, . . . , m, with x(t−
k ) = x(tk ), x(0) + g(x) = x0 },
which is a Banach space with the norm
kxkΩ = max{kxk kJk , k = 0, 1, . . . , m},
where xk is the restriction of x to Jk = (tk , tk+1 ], k = 0, 1, . . . , m.

Now, we define the mild solution for the system (1.1)-(1.3).
Definition 3.1. A function x ∈ Ω is said to be a mild solution of the system
(1.1)-(1.3) if
(i) x(0) + g(x) = x0 ;
(ii) ∆x|t=tk = Ik (x(t−
k )), k = 1, 2, . . . , m; and
x(t) = T (t)[x0 − g(x) − F (0, x(0), x(b1 (0)), . . . , x(bm (0)))]

(H2) The function G : J × X n+1 → X satisfies the following conditions:
(i) For each t ∈ J, the function G(t, ·) : X n+1 → X is continuous and for
each (x0 , x1 , . . . , xn ) × X n+1 the function G(·, x0 , x1 , . . . , xn ) : J → X
is strongly measurable;
(ii) For each positive number r ∈ N , there is a positive function gr ∈

Our main result may be presented as the following theorem.
Theorem 3.1. Assume the conditions (H1)-(H5) hold. Then the problem (1.1)(1.3) admits at least one mild solution on J provided that
