Method of Variation of Parameters for Dynamic Systems

From MaRDI portal





A unified approach to the method of linear and nonlinear variation of parameters together with its generalizations, extensions and refinements is presented. A blending of two important techniques, namely the method of variation of parameters (MVP) and Lyapunov-like functions and comparison principle is developed. Several typical applications of MVP such as exponential dichotomy, boundary value problems, monotone iterative technique, perturbation theory, controllability, existence of almost-periodic solutions, stability analysis and asymptotic behavior are presented. In Chapter 1 main ideas that are involved in the development of the linear and nonlinear variation of parameter formulae for differential equations are introduced and some applications and typical results concerning qualitative properties are represented. Chapter 2 is devoted to integrodifferential equations, where it can be seen that the development of nonlinear variation of parameter formula leads to new ideas showing the difficulties encountered in the direct extensions. Delay differential equations, including neutral differential equations, are discussed in Chapter 3 relative to a generalization of MVP. Chapter 4 studies difference equations. In Chapter 5 differential equations in Banach spaces are discussed. In the rest of the book some topics such as impulsive differential equations, stochastic differential equations, complex differential equations and so on are considered.
