In this paper approximate and complete controllability for semilinear functional differential systems is studied in Hilbert spaces. Sufficient conditions are established for each of these types of controllability. The results address the limitation that linear systems in infinite-dimensional spaces with compact semigroup cannot be completely controllable. The conditions are obtained by using the Schauder fixed point theorem when the semigroup is compact and the Banach fixed point theorem when the semigroup is not compact. © 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
