No label defined (Q3978468)

The authors consider IVP for impulsive systems of differential equations with supremum (which appears in the theory of automatic regulation): \[ \dot x=f(t,x(t),\sup_{s\in [t-h,t]}x(s))\hbox{ for }t\neq t_ i,\quad t\in [0,T], \] \[ \Delta x\mid_{t=t_ i}=I_ i(x(t_ i)),\quad x(t)=\zeta(t),\hbox{ for }t\in [-h,0] \] where \(f: [0,T]\times R^ n\times R^ n\to R^ n\), \(I_ i: R^ n\to R^ n\), \(i=1,\dots ,p\), \(\zeta: [-h,0]\to R^ n\), \(h>0\), \(0<t_ 1<\dots< t_ p<T\), \(\Delta x\mid_{t=t_ i}=x(t_ i+0)-x(t_ i)\), \[ \sup_{s\in[t- h,t]}x(s)=(\sup_{s\in[t-h,t]}x_ 1(s),\dots,\sup_{s\in[t-h,t]}x_ n(s )). \] The monotone-iterative technique of V. Lakshmikantham is applied to prove the existence of two monotone sequences of functions which are uniformly convergent on \([-h,T]\) to a couple of minimal and maximal quasisolutions of the considered IVP.
