Authors: Raul Naulin (Univ. de Oriente, Cumana, Venezuela) Abstract: In this paper we give conditions for the existence of a dichotomy for the impulsive equation $$\displaylines{ \mu(t,\varepsilon) x'= A(t)x, \; t \neq t_k,\cr x(t_k^+ )= C_k x(t_k^-)\,, }$$ where $\mu(t,\varepsilon)$ is a positive function such that $\lim\mu(t,\varepsilon)=0$ in some sense. The results are expressed in terms of the properties of the eigenvalues of matrices $A(t)$, the properties of the eigenvalues of matrices $\{C_k\}$ and the location of the impulsive times $\{t_k\}$ in $[0, \infty)$.
