Existence results for impulsive damped vibration systems (Q723613)

The authors consider periodic problem for impulsive differential system of the second order \[ \begin{aligned} & -\!u''(t) - q(t)u'(t) + A(t)u(t) = \lambda \nabla F(t,u(t)) + \nabla H(u(t)), \text{ for a.e. } t \in [0,T], \\ & \triangle u'_i(t_j) = I_{ij}(u_i(t_j)),\quad i = 1,\ldots,N,\;j = 1,\ldots,p,\\ & u(0) - u(T) = u'(0) - u'(T) = 0, \end{aligned} \] where \(0 < t_1< \ldots<t_p < T\), \(q \in L^1((0,T);{\mathbb R})\), \(\int_0^T q(t) dt = 0\), \(A : [0,T]\to {\mathbb R}^{N\times N}\) is continuous, \(I_{ij}\), \(\nabla H\) are Lipschitz continuous, \(\nabla F\) is continuous, with \(u = (u_1,\ldots,u_N)\). Based on the Ricceri's variational principle, the existence of at least one non-trivial weak solution to this class of problems is obtained.
