Singular Dirichlet problem for ordinary differential equation with impulses (Q2493835)

The authors prove existence results for the following impulsive Dirichlet boundary value problem \[ u''(t)=f(t,u(t),u'(t)),\quad u(0)=A, \,\,\, u(T)=B, \] \[ u(t_j+)=I_j(u(t_j)), \,\,\, u'(t_j+)=M_j(u'(t_j)), \,\,\, j=1,\dots,p, \] where \(f\in Car((0,T)\times {\mathbb R}^2),\) \(f\) has time singularities at \(t=0\) and \(t=T,\) \(I_j, M_j\in C^0({\mathbb R})\) and \(A, B \in {\mathbb R}.\) Their proofs are based on the Schauder fixed-point theorem and the method of a priori estimates under the assumption that there exist lower and upper solutions associated with the problem.
