Periodic boundary value problems of second-order impulsive differential equations (Q2518574)

Sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of solutions to periodic boundary value problem for second-order impulsive differential equations. The problems have the form \[ x''(t)= f(t,x(t), x'(t)), \] \[ \Delta x(t_k)= I_k(x(t_k)),\;\Delta x'(t_k)= I^*_k(x'(t_k)), \] \[ x(0)= x(T),\quad x'(0)= x'(T). \] Here, \(k= 1,2,\dots, p\), the functions \(I_k\), \(I^*_k\) are continuous, \(\Delta x(t_k)= x(t^+_k)- x(t_k)\), \[ \Delta x'(t_k)= x'(t^+_k)- x'(t_k), \] the right-hand side \(f\) satisfies the Carathéodory conditions. Monotone iterative technique is employed.
