Existence of solutions for two-point integral boundary value problems with impulses (Q6159609)

The authors consider a boundary value problem for a system of ODEs with impulses at fixed times in the form \[ x'(t) = f(t,x(t)) \quad t \in [0, T], \ t \ne t_k, \ k =1,\ldots,p, \] \[ \Delta x(t_k) = I_k(x(t_k)), \quad k = 1,\ldots,p, \] \[ Ax(0) + \int_0^T h(s)x(s)\ {\mathrm d}s + Bx(T) = \int_0^T g(s,x(s))\ {\mathrm d}s, \] where \(0 < t_1 < t_2 < \dots < t_p < T\), \(p \in {\mathbb N}\), \(f,g : [0,T]\times {\mathbb R}^n \to {\mathbb R}^n\), \(h : [0,T] \to {\mathbb R}^n\), \(I_k : {\mathbb R}^n \to {\mathbb R}^n\), \(A,B \in {\mathbb R}^{n\times n}\). They obtain two results: existence of at least one solution and existence of at least two nonnegative solutions to the BVP. They use fixed point theory. The feasibility of the results is illustrated by an example.
