The authors consider weakly nonlinear impulsive systems of the form \[ \dot{z}=Az+f+\varepsilon Z(z,\varepsilon),\;t\neq t_i(\varepsilon), \quad z(t_i(\varepsilon)+0)-z(t_i(\varepsilon)-0)=S_iz(t_i(\varepsilon)-0)+a_i, \] where \(A, S_i\) are constant \(n\times n\)-matrices, \(a_i,\;f\in\mathbb R^n\) are constant vectors, \(\varepsilon \) is a small parameter. It is assumed that \(S_{i+p}=S_i\), \(\det(\text{Id}+S_i)\neq 0\), \(t_{i+p}(\varepsilon)=t_{i}(\varepsilon)+T(\varepsilon)\), \(a_{i+p}=a_i\), for some \(p\in\mathbb N\), and that the linear homogeneous system corresponding to the unperturbed one \((\varepsilon =0\)) possesses an \(r\)-parameter family of \(T(0)\)-periodic solutions. In this case the authors develop a perturbation theory of periodic solutions analogous to the classical one for autonomous systems without impulses. As an example the impulsive Van-der-Pol equation is considered.
