A generalized Cauchy problem for singularly perturbed impulsive systems in the critical case (Q1778265)

The authors are concerned with the singularly perturbed impulsive system \[ \begin{gathered} \varepsilon\frac{dx}{dt}=Ax+\varepsilon A_{1}(t)x+\varphi(t),\qquad t\in[a,b],\quad t\neq\tau_{i},\quad i=1,2,\dots,p,\\ Dx(a)=v,\tag{1}\\ N_{i}x(\tau_{i}+0)+M_{i}x(\tau_{i}-0)=h_{i},\quad i=1,2,\dots,p,\end{gathered} \] where \(0<\varepsilon\ll1,\) \(a\equiv\tau_0<\tau_1<\cdots<\tau_p<\tau_{p+1}\equiv b\), and the matrices \(A\), \(A_i(t)\), \(D\), \(N_i\) and \(M_i\) satisfy certain conditions. The purpose of the paper is to construct an asymptotic expansion for the solution of problem (1) in the critical (according to classification suggested by Vasil'eva and Butuzov) case that tends, as \(\varepsilon\to 0\), to one of the solutions of the degenerate system \[ Ax+\varphi(t)=0 \] for \(t\in(a,b]\setminus\{\tau_1,\tau_2,\dots,\tau_p\}\). An estimate on the remainder of the asymptotic series is obtained and an illustrative example is considered.
