Functional boundary value problem for first order impulsive differential equations at variable times. (Q1432752): Difference between revisions

By using the method of upper and lower solutions, the authors prove some existence results for extremal solutions of the following functional boundary value problems for first-order impulsive differential equations at variable times of the form \[ \begin{aligned} &x'(t)=f(t,x(t)), \quad t\neq \tau(x(t)), \;t\in J:=[0,T],\\ &\Delta x(t)=I(x(t)), \quad t=\tau(x(t)),\\ &B(x(0),x)=0, \end{aligned} \] where \(f\in C(J\times \mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R}),\) \(I\in C^1(\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R}),\) \(\tau n \in C^1(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R}),\) and \(B\in C(J\times PC(J, \mathbb{R}),\mathbb{R})\). \(B\) includes initial conditions if \(B(a, \zeta) = B(a) = a -x_{0}\) for all \(a \in \mathbb{R}\), and a periodic condition if \( B(a, \zeta) = \zeta(T) -a\) for all \((a,\zeta) \in \mathbb{R} \times PC (J, \mathbb{R})\).
