Review text

The authors consider a system of autonomous differential equations with maxima of the type \[ \dot z(v)=f\bigl(z(v),\dot z(v),\quad \max_{v- \tau\leq s\leq v} z(s),\quad\max_{v-\tau\leq s\leq v}\dot z(s)\bigr), \] where \(\max_{v-\tau\leq s\leq v} z(s)=(\max_{v-\tau\leq s\leq v} z_ 1(s),\dots,\max_{v-\tau\leq s\leq v} z_ m(s))\), \(f: \mathbb{R}^ m\times \mathbb{R}^ m\times \mathbb{R}^ m\times\mathbb{R}^ m \to\mathbb{R}^ m\) is a continuous function, \(\mathbb{R}^ m\) is the \(m\)-dimensional Euclidean space with norm \(\|\cdot\|\), \(\tau\) is a positive constant and \(z: [0,\omega]\to\mathbb{R}^ m\) is a continuously differentiable \(\omega\)- periodic \((\omega>0)\) function \((z\in C^ 1_ \omega)\) provided with the uniform norm \(\| z\|=\max_{v\in [0,\omega]}\| z(v)\|+\max_{v\in [0,\omega]}\| \dot z(v)\|\). Any couple \((\omega,z)\in\mathbb{R}\times C^ 1_ \omega\) for which the \(\omega\)- periodic continuously differentiable function \(z\) satisfies equation (1) is called a solution of (1). Together with an additional restriction of the form (2) \(\sum^ m_{i=1} \alpha_ i\dot z_ i(0)=0\), where \(\alpha=(\alpha_ 1,\dots,\alpha_ m)\in\mathbb{R}^ m\) is a fixed vector one has the initial value problem (1), (2). The authors show that under certain assumptions problem (1), (2) and also an appropriate corresponding discrete problem have solutions. Particular cases of problem (1), (2) find application in the theory of automatic regulation.
