Stability of impulsive differential systems (Q5906866)

The authors study Lyapunov stability in terms of two measures of differential systems with variable impulse times: \[ x'(t)= f(t,x), \quad t \neq \tau_{k} (x), \qquad x(t^{+})-x(t^{-}) = I_{k}(x), \quad t = \tau_{k}(x), \;k=1,2,\dots \] Previously, the problem was investigated in \textit{V. Lakshmikantham} and \textit{X. Z. Liu} [Stability analysis in terms of two measures, Singapore, World Scientific (1993; Zbl 0797.34056)] where the Lyapunov function was supposed to be nonincreasing as each ``switching'' happens and also within two switchings. In this paper, the authors relax these two conditions only requiring the Lyapunov function to be nonincreasing along each subsequence of the switching and only bounded within two switchings.
