Vibrosolutions to differential equations in distributions with discontinuous regular functions on the right-hand side (Q1916596)

The author considers differential equations in distributions in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) of the form \[ \dot x(t)= f(x, u, t)+ b(x, u, t) \dot u(t),\quad x(t_0)= x_0,\tag{1} \] where \(f\) and \(b\) are piecewise continuous functions and \(u\) is an \(m\)-dimensional continuous from the left function of bounded variation with nondecreasing components. A continuous from the left function \(x(\cdot)\) is said to be a vibrosolution of the equation (1) if the convergence of the sequence \(*\)-\(\lim u^k(t)= u(t)\) in the \(*\)-weak topology of the space of functions of bounded variation implies the convergence of the sequence \(\{x^k(t)\}\) of the corresponding solutions of (1) in the same topology to \(x(t)\) and the limit \(x(t)\) is independent on the choice of the approximating sequence \(\{u^k(t)\}\). Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of vibrosolutions are obtained and some properties of vibrosolutions are given.
