Dichotomies for impulsive differential systems (Q1191747)

The authors study the impulsive system (1) \(x'(t)=A(t)x(t)\), \(t\neq t_ i\), (2) \(x(t_ i+)=B_ ix(t_ i-)\), where \(A\) is a continuous \(n\times n\) matrix-valued function on \(J=[t_ 0,\infty)\), \(t_ 0>0\), and \(f:J\to\mathbb{R}^ n\) is continuous and bounded, \(B_ i\) \((i=1,2,\ldots)\) are \(n\times n\) nonsingular matrices and the sequence of impulse points is increasing to infinity. The authors give some estimates of the growth of solutions to the problem (1)--(2) and necessary and sufficient conditions for so-called bounded growth of the system. Next they prove that the impulsive system has the same exponential dichotomy as the corresponding non-impulsive system. At last they show that a certain perturbed system has a bounded solution if among other conditions the nonperturbed system has exponential dichotomy.
