Abstract
Synthetic biology involves trying to create new approaches using design-based approaches. A controller is a biological system intended to regulate the performance of other biological processes. The design of such controllers can be based on the results of control theory, including strategies. Integrated feedback control is central to regulation, sensory adaptation, and long-term effects. In this work, we present a study of a cubic functional integral equation with a general and new constraint that may help in investigating some real problems. We discuss the existence of solutions for an equation that involves a control variable in the class of bounded continuous functions by applying the technique of measure of noncompactness on . Furthermore, we establish sufficient conditions for the continuous dependence of the state function on the control variable. Finally, some remarks and discussion are presented to demonstrate our results.

1. Introduction and Background
The measure of noncompactness is essential in fixed point theory (see [1,2]). It can be utilized to demonstrate the existence results related to integral equations of numerous types; for example, we refer to [3,4]. The notion of a measure of noncompactness (MNC) was introduced by Kuratowski [5] in 1930. Darbo’s fixed point theorem [6], which guarantees the existence of a fixed point, is an important application of this measure because it generalizes both the Schauder fixed point and the Banach contraction principle connected with a measure of noncompactness in the Banach space (of all bounded and continuous functions on ), has been successfully used by J. Banaś (see [7,8,9,10,11,12,13]) to obtain the existence of asymptotically stable solutions of some integral and quadratic integral equations (see [9,10]).
Nonetheless, in the more real problems, biological systems or ecosystems are always perturbed via unpredictable forces. These perturbations usually change the system parameters. In control theory, these perturbation functions can be viewed as control variables. Integrated feedback control is central to regulation, sensory adaptation, and long-term effects Robustness [14,15,16,17].
In [14], Chen obtained some averaged conditions for the permanence and global attractivity of a nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra system with feedback controls by creating an appropriate Lyapunov function (Lyapunov functional).
In [15], Nasertayoob proved the existence, asymptotic stability, and global attractivity of a class of nonlinear functional-integral equations with feedback control, using Darbo’s fixed point theorem [6] associated with a measure of noncompactness. Furthermore, the existence of a positive periodic solution for a nonlinear neutral delay population system with feedback control is examined under certain conditions [16]. The proof depends on the fixed-point theorem of strict-set-contraction operators [16]. El-Sayed et al. [18] were concerned with a functional integral equation involving a control parameter function that satisfies a constraint functional equation. Further existence results were obtained in [19], where they studied a nonlinear functional integral equation that was constrained by a functional equation with a parameter.
Recently, cubic integral equations have gained much attention. Many authors who are concerned with studying quadratic integral equations have extended their results to some special cubic integral equations on a bounded interval, for example, [20,21,22,23].
The aim of this article is to establish existence results for solutions to the following cubic functional integral equation, which is more general than those studied in [20,21,22,23].
with a feedback control given by
for we prove that problems (1) and (2) have solutions that belong to Our proof depends on a suitable combination of the technique of measures of noncompactness and Darbo’s fixed point principle on the real half-axis. It is the first attempt to investigate a cubic functional integral equation restricted to a control variable u on the real half-axis. Moreover, we establish some sufficient conditions for the continuous dependence of the state variable x on the control variable Finally, two illustrated examples and some particular cases are presented.
Definition 1.
By a solution of the cubic functional integral Equation (1), we mean a state function , which satisfies (1) restricted to a control variable given by (2). The solvability of the cubic functional integral Equation (1) with the feedback control (2) is equivalent to finding a pair that satisfies the system (1) and (2).
The notations mentioned below will be necessary for our work.

3.2. Discussions and Conclusions
The present paper aims to propose a feedback control to a cubic functional integral Equation (1), and it seems natural to choose the control variable u in the form (2). We have discussed the solvability of a cubic functional integral Equation (1) with feedback control (2) on the real half-axis by applying the procedure linked to measures of noncompactness in by a specific modulus of continuity. Our study has lied in the space of bounded continuous functions This investigation for the problem (1) and (2) is equivalent to that of a coupled system of two functional integral Equations (1) and (2). The authors have initiated applying the technique associated with measures of noncompactness on a coupled system of integral equations in in [24]. This article is a continuation of applying the technique of MNC on a cubic functional integral equation, but in our case, Equation (1) is restricted to a feedback control (2). Furthermore, some particular cases and examples are illustrated. Finally, the continuous dependence of the state variable x on the control variable u is studied.
