Of concern is the existence of solutions to nonlocal impulsive Cauchy problems for evolution equations Combining the techniques of operator semigroups, approximate solutions, noncompact measures and the fixed point theory, new existence theorems are obtained, which generalize and improve some previous results since neither the Lipschitz continuity nor compactness assumption
on the impulsive functions is required An application to partial differential equations is also presented
1 Introduction
Impulsive equations arise from many different real processes and phenomena which appeared in physics, chemical technology, population dynamics, biotechnology, medicine, and economics They have in recent years been an object of investigations with increasing interest For more information on this subject, see for instance, the paperscf., e.g., 1 6 and references therein
On the other hand, Cauchy problems with nonlocal conditions are appropriate models for describing a lot of natural phenomena, which cannot be described using classical Cauchy problems That is why in recent years they have been studied by many researcherscf., e.g.,
4,7 12 and references therein
In4, the authors combined the two directions and studied firstly a class of nonlocal impulsive Cauchy problems for evolution equations by investigating the existence for mild in generalized sense solutions to the problems In this paper, we study further the existence of solutions to the following nonlocal impulsive Cauchy problem for evolution equations:

By going a new way, that is, by combining operator semigroups, the techniques of approximate solutions, noncompact measures, and the fixed point theory, we obtain new existence results for problem1.1, which generalize and improve some previous theorems since neither the Lipschitz continuity nor compactness assumption on the impulsive functions is required in the present paper
The organization of this work is as follows InSection 2, we recall some definitions, and facts about fractional powers of operators, mild solutions and Hausdorff measure of noncompactness In Section 3, we give the existence results for problem 1.1 when the nonlocal item and impulsive functions are only assumed to be continuous InSection 4, we give an example to illustrate our abstract results
2 Preliminaries
Let X, · be a real Banach space We denote by C0, K, X the space of X-valued
continuous functions on0, K with the norm
u max{ut; t ∈ 0, K}, 2.1
and by L10, K, X the space of X-valued Bochner integrable functions on 0, K with the
normf L10K ftdt Let
PC0, K, X : {u : 0, K → X; ut is continuous at t / t i , left continuous at t t i ,
and the right limit u
t

exists for i 1, 2, , p.
2.2
It is easy to check that PC0, K, X is a Banach space with the norm
uPC sup
Trang 3In this paper, for r > 0, let B r : {x ∈ X; x ≤ r} and
W r : {u ∈ PC0, K, X; ut ∈ B r , ∀t ∈ 0, K}. 2.4 Throughout this paper, we assume the following
H1 The operator −A : DA ⊆ X → X is the infinitesimal generator of a compact
analytic semigroup{Tt : t ≥ 0} on Banach space X and 0 ∈ ρA the resolvent set
of A.
In the remainder of this work, M : sup0≤t≤KTt < ∞.
Under the above conditions, it is possible to define the fractional power A α : DA α ⊂
X → X, 0 < α < 1, of A as closed linear operators And it is known that the following
properties hold
Theorem 2.1 see 13, Pages 69–75 Let 0 < α < 1 and assume that (H1) holds Then,
1 DA α is a Banach space with the norm x α A α x for x ∈ DA α ,
2 Tt : X → DA α for t > 0,
3 A α Ttx TtA α x for x ∈ DA α and t ≥ 0,
4 for every t > 0, A α Tt is bounded on X and there exists C α > 0 such that
A α Tt ≤ C t α α , 0 < t ≤ K, 2.5
5 A −α is a bounded linear operator in X with DA α ImA −α ,
6 if 0 < α < β ≤ 1, then DA β → DA α .
We denote by X α that the Banach space DA α endowed the graph norm from now on
Definition 2.2 A function u ∈ PC0, K, X is said to be a mild solution of 1.1 on 0, K if the function s → ATt − sFs, us is integrable on 0, t for all t ∈ 0, K and the following integral equation is satisfied:

0<t i <t Tt − t i I i ut i , 0 ≤ t ≤ K.
2.6
To discuss the compactness of subsets of PC0, K, X, we let t0 0, t p1 K,
J0 t0 , t1, J1 t1 , t2, , Jpt p , t p1
For D ⊆ PC0, K, X, we denote by D| J ithe set
D| J i u ∈ Ct i , t i1 , X; ut i vt
i
, ut vt, t ∈ J i , v ∈ D, 2.8
i 0, 1, 2, , p Then it is easy to see that the following result holds.
Trang 4Lemma 2.3 A set D ⊆ PC0, K, X is precompact in PC0, K, X if and only if the set D| J i is precompact in Ct i , t i1 , X for every i 0, 1, 2, , p.
Next, we recall that the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness α· on each bounded subsetΩ of Banach space Y is defined by
αΩ inf{ε > 0; Ω has a finite ε-net in Y}. 2.9
Some basic properties of α· are given in the following Lemma.
Lemma 2.4 see 14 Let Y be a real Banach space and let B, C ⊆ Y be bounded Then,
1 B is precompact if and only if αB 0;
2 αB αB αconvB, where B and convB mean the closure and convex hull of B,
respectively;
3 αB ≤ αC when B ⊆ C;
4 αB C ≤ αB αC, where B C {x y; x ∈ B, y ∈ C};
5 αB ∪ C ≤ max{αB, αC};
6 αλB |λ|αB for any λ ∈ R;
7 let Z be a Banach space and Q : DQ ⊆ Y → Z Lipschitz continuous with constant k.
Then αQB ≤ kαB for all B ⊆ DQ being bounded.
We note that a continuous map Q : W ⊆ Y → Y is an α-contraction if there exists a positive constant k < 1 such that αQC ≤ kαC for all bounded closed C ⊆ W.
Lemma 2.5 see Darbo-Sadovskii’s fixed point theorem in 14 If W ⊆ Y is bounded closed
and convex, and Q : W → W is an α-contraction, then the map Q has at least one fixed point in W.
3 Main Results
In this section, by using the techniques of approximate solutions and fixed points, we establish a result on the existence of mild solutions for the nonlocal impulsive problem1.1
when the nonlocal item g and the impulsive functions I iare only assumed to be continuous
in PC0, K, X and X, respectively
In practical applications, the values of ut for t near zero often do not affect gu For
example, it is the case when
gu

, 0 < s1< s2< · · · < s q < K. 3.1
So, to prove our main results, we introduce the following assumptions
H2 g : PC0, K, X → X is a continuous function, and there is a δ ∈ 0, t1 such that
gu gv for any u, v ∈ PC0, K, X with us vs, s ∈ δ, K Moreover,
there exist L1, L
1> 0 such that gu ≤ L1uPC L
1for any u ∈ PC0, K, X.
Trang 5H3 There exists a β ∈ 0, 1 such that F : 0, K × X → X β is a continuous function,
and F·, u· F·, v· for any u, v ∈ PC0, K, X with us vs, s ∈ δ, K Moreover, there exist L2, L3> 0 such that
β Ft, x1 − Aβ Ft, x2 2x1− x2 3.2 for any 0≤ t ≤ K, x1 , x2∈ X, and
for any 0≤ t ≤ K, x ∈ X.
H4 The function ft, · : X → X is continuous a.e t ∈ 0, K; the function f·, x :
0, K → X is strongly measurable for all x ∈ X Moreover, for each l ∈ N, there exists a function ρ l ∈ L10, K, R such that ft, x ≤ ρ l t for a.e t ∈ 0, K and all x ∈ B l, and

L4, L

We note that, byTheorem 2.1, there exist M0 > 0 and C1−β> 0 such that M0 A −β and
1−βTt C1−β
For simplicity, in the following we set L max{L1 , L2, L3, L4} and will substitute L1, L2, L3, L4
by L below.

Lemma 3.2 Assume that all the conditions in Theorem 3.1 are satisfied Then for any n ≥ 1, the map
Q n defined by3.7 has at least one fixed point u n ∈ PC0, K, X.
Proof To prove the existence of a fixed point for Q n, we will use Darbu-Sadovskii’s fixed point theorem
Firstly, we prove that the map Q n3 is a contraction on PC0, K, X For this purpose,
let u1 , u2∈ PC0, K, X Then for each t ∈ 0, K and by condition H3, we have
Q n3 u1t − Qn3 u2t

which implies that Q n3is a contraction by condition3.6
Trang 7Secondly, we prove that Q n4 , Q n1 , Q n2 are completely continuous operators Let
{u m}∞
m1be a sequence in PC0, K, X with
lim
in PC0, K, X By the continuity of f with respect to the second argument, we deduce that
for each s ∈ 0, K, fs, u m s converges to fs, us in X, and we have
Q n4 u m − Q n4 uPC≤ M K

m s − fs, us ds,
Q n1 u m − Q n1 uPC≤ M m − gu
Q n2 u m − Q n2 uPC≤ M

I i u m t i − I i ut i .
3.12
Then by the continuity of f, g, I i, and using the dominated convergence theorem, we get
lim
m → ∞ Q n4 u m Q n4 u, lim
m → ∞ Q n1 u m Q n1 u, lim
m → ∞ Q n2 u m Q n2 u 3.13
in PC0, K, X, which implies that Qn4 , Q n1 , Q n2are continuous on PC0, K, X
Next, for the compactness of Q n4we refer to the proof of4, Theorem 3.1
For Q n1 and any bounded subset W of PC0, K, X, we have
Q n1 ut Ttu0− T
1
n
Ttgu, t ∈ 0, K, u ∈ W, 3.14
which implies that Q n1 Wt is relatively compact in X for every t ∈ 0, K by the
compactness of T 1/n On the other hand, for 0 ≤ s ≤ t ≤ K, we have
Q n1 ut − Q n1 us ≤
u0− T

n
gu 3.15 Since{T1/ngu; u ∈ W} is relatively compact in X, we conclude that
Q n1 ut − Q n1 us −→ 0 uniformly as t −→ s and u ∈ W, 3.16
which implies that Q n1 W is equicontinuous on 0, K Therefore, Q n1is a compact operator
Now, we prove the compactness of Q n2 For this purpose, let
J0 0, t1, J1 t1 , t2, , Jpt p , K

is precompact in Ct1 , t2, X, as the remaining cases for t ∈ Ji , i 2, 3, , p, can be dealt with in the same way; here W is any bounded subset in PC0, K, X And, we recall that

Thus, by the compactness of T 1/n, we know that {Q n2 u; u ∈ W}| J

3.21
Thus, the set{Q n2 u; u ∈ W}| J
1 ⊆ Ct1 , t2, X is equicontinuous due to the compactness of
{T1/nI1ut1; u ∈ W} and the strong continuity of operator T· By the Arzela-Ascoli
theorem, we conclude that{Q n2 u; u ∈ W}| J
1 is precompact in Ct1 , t2, X The same idea can be used to prove that{Q n2 u; u ∈ W}| J i is precompact for each i 2, 3, , p Therefore, {Q n2 u; u ∈ W} is precompact in PC0, K, X, that is, the operator Q n2 : PC0, K, X → PC0, K, X is compact
Trang 9Thus, for any bounded subset W ⊆ PC0, K, X, we have byLemma 2.4,
αQ n W ≤ αQ n1 W αQ n3 W αQ n4 W αQ n2 W ≤ L0αW. 3.22
Hence, the map Q n is an α-contraction in PC0, K, X.
Now, in order to apply Lemma 2.5, it remains to prove that there exists a constant
r > 0 such that Q n W r ⊆ W r Suppose this is not true; then for each positive integer r, there are u r ∈ W r and t r ∈ 0, K such that Q n u r t r > r Then

Dividing on both sides by r and taking the lower limit as r → ∞, we obtain that
L0 ML M0L γ pL M0 L LC1−ββ K β ≥ 1. 3.24
This is a contradiction with inequality 3.6 Therefore, there exists r > 0 such that the mapping Q n maps W r into itself By Darbu-Sadovskii’s fixed point theorem, the operator
Q n has at least one fixed point in W r This completes the proof
Lemma 3.3 Assume that all the conditions in Theorem 3.1 are satisfied Then the set D| h,K is precompact in PC h, K, X for all h ∈ 0, δ, where
D : {u n ; u n ∈ PC0, K, X coming from Lemma 3.2, n ≥ 1}, 3.25
and δ is the constant in (H2).
Proof The proof will be given in several steps In the following h is a number in 0, δ.
Trang 10Step 1 D| h,t1is precompact in Ch, t1, X.
For u ∈ PC0, K, X, define Q F1: PC0, K, X → PC0, K, X by
Q F1 ut TtF0, u0, t ∈ 0, K. 3.26
For u ∈ Ch, t1, X, let ut ut, t ∈ h, t1, ut uh, t ∈ 0, h, and we define
Q F2 : Ch, t1, X → Ch, t1, X by
Q F2 ut −Ft, ut t
0
ATt − sFs, usds, t ∈ h, t1. 3.27
By conditionH3, Q F2 is well defined and for u ∈ D, we have
Q n3 ut Q F1 ut Q F2 u| h,t1t, t ∈ h, t1. 3.28
On the other hand, for u n ∈ D, n ≥ 1, we have Q n2 u n t 0, t ∈ h, t1 So,
u n t Q n1 u n t Q F1 u n t Q F2 u n|h,t1t Q n4 u n t, t ∈ h, t1. 3.29 Now, for{Q n1 u n ; n≥ 1}, we have
Q n1 u n t Ttu0 − TtT

n
gu n , t ∈ h, t1. 3.30
By the compactness of T t, t > 0, we get that {Q n1 u n t; n ≥ 1} is relatively compact in X for every t ∈ h, t1 and {Q n1 u n ; n≥ 1}|h,t1is equicontinuous onh, t1, which implies that {Q n1 u n ; n≥ 1}|h,t1is precompact in Ch, t1, X.
By the same reasoning,{Q F1 u n ; n≥ 1}|h,t1is precompact in Ch, t1, X.
For Q F2 , we claim that Q F2 : Ch, t1, X → Ch, t1, X is Lipschitz continuous with constant M0 L LC1−βK β /β In fact, H3 implies that for every u, v ∈ Ch, t1, X and
