Periodic van der Pol equation with state dependent impulses (Q2264004)

The paper studies the following impulsively driven van der Pol equation \[ x''-\mu (x-{\frac{x^3}{3}})'+x=f+\sum_{i=1}^m a_i [x] \delta_{t_i [x]}. \] By Fourier analysis, the problem is transformed and the existence of a solution is proved by Banach's contraction principle. The results are presented in three cases: the state independent case, the mean-state dependent case, and the general state dependent case. Several examples were given to illustrate the results.
