Approximate controllability for semilinear abstract discrete-time systems is considered. Specifically, we consider the semilinear discrete-time system xk1  Ak xk  fk, xk   Bk uk , k ∈ N0 , where Ak are bounded linear operators acting on a Hilbert space X, Bk are X-valued bounded linear operators defined on a Hilbert space U, and f is a nonlinear function. Assuming appropriate conditions, we will show that the approximate controllability of the associated linear system xk1  Ak xk  Bk uk implies the approximate controllability of the semilinear system.

1. Introduction In this paper we deal with the controllability problem for semilinear distributed discrete-time control systems. In order to specify the class of systems to be considered, we set X for the state space and U for the control space. We assume that X and U are Hilbert spaces. Moreover, throughout this paper we denote by Ak : X → X bounded linear operators, Bk : U → X, k ∈ N0 , bounded linear maps that represent the control action, and f : N0 × X → X a map such that fk, · is continuous for each k ∈ N0 . Furthermore, Ak , Bk , and f satisfy appropriate conditions which will be specified later. We will study the controllability of control systems described by the equation xk1  Ak xk  fk, xk   Bk uk ,

mention here 1–11 and the references cited therein. Specially, Leiva and Uzcategui 5 have studied the exact controllability of the linear and semilinear system. However, it is well known 12–16 that most of continuous distributed systems that arise in concrete situations are not exactly controllable but only approximately controllable. A similar situation has been established in 10 in relation with the discrete wave equation and in 11 in relation with the discrete heat equation see 17–22. As mentioned in this paper, the lack of controllability is related to the fact that the spaces in which the solutions of these systems evolve are infinite dimensional. For this reason, in this paper we study the approximate controllability of system 1.1. Specifi
