Existence and topological structure of solution sets for phi-Laplacian impulsive differential equations

Johnny Henderson, Abdelghani Ouahab, Samia Youcefi

Abstract:
In this article, we present results on the existence and the topological structure of the solution set for initial-value problems for the first-order impulsive differential equation
$$\displaylines{ (\phi(y'))' = f(t,y(t)), \quad\hbox{a.e. } t\in [0,b],\cr y(t^+_{k})-y(t^-_k)=I_{k}(y(t_{k}^{-})), \quad k=1,\dots,m,\cr y'(t^+_{k})-y'(t^-_k)=\bar I_{k}(y'(t_{k}^{-})), \quad k=1,\dots,m,\cr y(0)=A,\quad y'(0)=B, }$$
where $0=t_0<t_1<\dots<t_m<t_{m+1}=b$, $m\in\mathbb{N}$. The functions $I_k, \bar I_k$ characterize the jump in the solutions at impulse points $t_k$, $k=1,\dots,m$. For the final result of the paper, the hypotheses are modified so that the nonlinearity $f$ depends on $y'$, but the impulsive conditions and initial conditions remain the same.
