Uniform attractors of discontinuous semidynamical systems (Q486319)

The authors investigate uniform attractors in impulsive semidynamical systems \((X, \mathbb R_+, \pi, M, I)\) where \(M\) is the impulse set and \(I: M \to X\) is the impulse mapping. In the considered impulsive systems some natural conditions are assumed (which, in particular, guarantee the continuity of the function \(\phi\) defined as \(\phi(x) = \inf \{ t>0: \pi(t,x) \in M\}\), i.e., the function which describes ``the time of reaching the impulse set''). The ``region of uniform attraction'' and ``uniform attractors'' in impulsive systems are defined similarly to analogous definitions for non-impulsive systems. It is proved that the region of uniform attraction is positively invariant and (with the points of \(M\) removed) open. The sufficient condition for stability in terms of attraction is presented. Some theorems that gives sufficient conditions for the set to be a uniform attractor are also shown. In particular, it is proved that in locally compact metric spaces a compact set disjoint from \(M\) is a uniform attractor provided that it is asymptotically stable. Another theorem gives a criterium for being a uniform attractor with the use of Lyapunov-like functions. As an application, the equilibrium states of some autonomous differential equations with impulses in \(\mathbb R^n\) are analysed.
