Comparison principles for impulsive hyperbolic equations of first order (Q1903647): Difference between revisions

The authors prove strong and weak comparison principles for the solutions of the initial value problem for impulsive hyperbolic equations of first order: \[ z_t(t, x)+ f(t, x)\cdot z_x(t, x)= F(t, x, z(t, x)),\quad t\neq t_k,\;x\in [\alpha(t), \beta(t)], \] \[ z(0, x)= \varphi(x),\quad x\in [\alpha(0), \beta(0)], \] \[ z(t_k, x)- z(t^-_k, x)= g_k(t_k, x, z(t^-_k, x)),\quad k= 1,\dots, p,\;x\in [\alpha(t_k), \beta(t_k)]. \] It should be mentioned that the theory of impulsive PDE is of growing interest in the recent years. The first monograph in this new area is the authors' [Approximate solutions of impulsive hyperbolic equations, Academic Publishers (Calcutta 1996)].
