The existence of almost periodic solutions of retarded differential equations with piecewise constant argument (Q1348211): Difference between revisions

Here, by using the Razumikhin technique, the author investigates the existence of almost-periodic solutions to retarded differential equations with piecewise constant argument of the form \[ x'(t)=A(t)x(t)+\sum_{j=0}^{r}A_j(t)x([t-j])+f(t), \] \[ x'(t)=A(t)x(t)+\sum_{j=0}^{r}A_j(t)x([t-j])+g(t,x(t),x([t]),\ldots,x([t-j])), \] where \(A, A_j: \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{q\times q}, f: \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^q, g: \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^q\times\cdots\times \mathbb{R}^q\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^q\) are almost-periodic in \(t\), \(j=0,\ldots,r\), and [\(\cdot\)] denotes the greatest integer function. He also investigates the existence of almost-periodic sequence solutions to the corresponding difference equation of the former equation, which is a higher-order difference equation.
