Impulsive stability for systems of second order retarded differential equations

This paper is concerned with systems of impulsive second order delay differential equations. We prove that unstable systems can be stabilized by imposition of impulsive controls. The main tools used are Lyapunov functionals, stability theory and control by impulses.     

Global solutions of nonlinear second-order impulsive integro-differential equations of mixed type in Banach spaces

In this paper, by using the generalization of Darbo’s fixed point theorem, we establish the existence of global solutions of an initial value problem for a class of second-order impulsive integro-differential equations of mixed type in a real Banach space. Our results generalize and improve on the results of Guo et al. [F. Guo, L.S. Liu, Y.H. Wu, P. Siew, Global solutions of initial value problems for nonlinear second-order impulsive integro-differential equations of mixed type in Banach spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 61 (2005) 1363–1382] in the sense that the conditions for existence of global solution in our theorem is simpler and less strict. To demonstrate the application of the theorem, we give the global solutions of two mixed boundary value problems for two classes of fourth order impulsive integro-differential equations.     

The improvement of Razumikhin type theorems for impulsive functional differential equations

In this paper, by using Lyapunov functions and Razumikhin techniques, the stability of impulsive functional differential equations is investigated. The obtained results avoid the difficulty of constructing a P function in Razumikhin’s condition and they generalize and improve the existing theorems. An example is given to illustrate the importance of the obtained results.     

Impulsive control for a class of neural networks with bounded and unbounded delays

In this paper, we study the problem of global exponential stability for a class of impulsive neural networks with bounded and unbounded delays and fixed moments of impulsive effect. We establish stability criteria by employing Lyapunov functions and Razumikhin technique. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.     

Stability of impulsive stochastic differential delay systems and its application to impulsive stochastic neural networks

This paper is concerned with the stability of n-dimensional stochastic differential delay systems with nonlinear impulsive effects. First, the equivalent relation between the solution of the n-dimensional stochastic differential delay system with nonlinear impulsive effects and that of a corresponding n-dimensional stochastic differential delay system without impulsive effects is established. Then, some stability criteria for the n-dimensional stochastic differential delay systems with nonlinear impulsive effects are obtained. Finally, the stability criteria are applied to uncertain impulsive stochastic neural networks with time-varying delay. The results show that, this convenient and efficient method will provide a new approach to study the stability of impulsive stochastic neural networks. Some examples are also discussed to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.     

Recent advances in the numerical analysis of Volterra functional differential equations with variable delays

The numerical analysis of Volterra functional integro-differential equations with vanishing delays has to overcome a number of challenges that are not encountered when solving ‘classical’ delay differential equations with non-vanishing delays. In this paper I shall describe recent results in the analysis of optimal (global and local) superconvergence orders in collocation methods for such evolutionary problems. Following a brief survey of results for equations containing Volterra integral operators with non-vanishing delays, the discussion will focus on pantograph-type Volterra integro-differential equations with (linear and nonlinear) vanishing delays. The paper concludes with a section on open problems; these include the asymptotic stability of collocation solutions _uh$u_h$ on uniform meshes for pantograph-type functional equations, and the analysis of collocation methods for pantograph-type functional equations with advanced arguments.     

Monotone method for a system of nonlinear mixed type implicit impulsive integro-differential equations in Banach spaces

In this paper, by using a monotone iterative technique in the presence of lower and upper solutions, we discuss the existence of solutions for a new system of nonlinear mixed type implicit impulsive integro-differential equations in Banach spaces. Under wide monotonicity conditions and the noncompactness measure conditions, we also obtain the existence of extremal solutions and a unique solution between lower and upper solutions.     

Almost periodic solutions for an impulsive delay Nicholson’s blowflies model

By means of the contraction mapping principle and Gronwall-Bellman’s inequality, we prove the existence and exponential stability of positive almost periodic solution for an impulsive delay Nicholson’s blowflies model. The main results are illustrated by an example.     

Existence of positive solution for second-order nonlinear impulsive singular differential equations of mixed type in Banach spaces

In this paper, by constructing a closed convex set and using the fixed point theory of completely continuous operators, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for an initial value problem of second-order nonlinear impulsive singular integro-differential equations in a Banach space. The method used in this paper is different from that in the literature.     

Boundary value problems for first order differential equations of mixed type

We apply the monotone iterative method to formulate existence results for integro-differential equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. Some results for integro-differential inequalities are also given. Examples illustrate obtained results.     

Existence and uniqueness results for impulsive functional differential equations with scalar multiple delay and infinite delay

In this paper, we discuss local and global existence and uniqueness results for first order impulsive functional differential equations with multiple delay. We shall rely on a nonlinear alternative of Leray–Schauder. For the global existence and uniqueness we apply a recent nonlinear alternative of Leray–Schauder type in Fréchet spaces, due to M. Frigon and A. Granas [Résultats de type Leray–Schauder pour des contractions sur des espaces de Fréchet, Ann. Sci. Math. Québec 22 (2) (1998) 161–168]. The goal of this paper is to extend the problems considered by A. Ouahab [Local and global existence and uniqueness results for impulsive differential equations with multiple delay, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 323 (2006) 456–472].     

Almost periodic solutions for impulsive neural networks with delay

Stability analysis of stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay and its application to recurrent neural networks

In this paper, we investigate the stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay. Some sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the pth moment exponential stability and pth moment global asymptotic stability of stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay by using Razumikhin method and Lyapunov functions. Based on the obtained results, we further study the pth moment exponential stability of stochastic recurrent neural networks with unbounded distributed delays. The result extends and improves the earlier publications. Two examples are given to illustrate the applicability of the obtained results.     

Discontinuous local semiflows for Kurzweil equations leading to LaSalle's invariance principle for differential systems with impulses at variable times

In this paper, we consider an initial value problem for a class of generalized ODEs, also known as Kurzweil equations, and we prove the existence of a local semidynamical system there. Under certain perturbation conditions, we also show that this class of generalized ODEs admits a discontinuous semiflow which we shall refer to as an impulsive semidynamical system. As a consequence, we obtain LaSalle's invariance principle for such a class of generalized ODEs. Due to the importance of LaSalle's invariance principle in studying stability of differential systems, we include an application to autonomous ordinary differential systems with impulse action at variable times.     

A new approach to practical stability of impulsive functional differential equations in terms of two measures

In this work, we consider a new approach to the practical stability theory of impulsive functional differential equations. With Lyapunov functionals and Razumikhin technique, we use a new technique in the division of Lyapunov functions, given by Shunian Zhang, and obtain conditions sufficient for the uniform practical (asymptotical) stability of impulsive delay differential equations. An example is also discussed to illustrate the advantage of the proposed results.     

Families of Liapunov-Krasovskiį functionals and stability for functional differential equations

This paper discusses the stability of solutions of nonautonomous functional differential equations with infinite delay with respect to a parr of admissible phase spaces of Hale and Kato. A one-parameter family of Liapunov-Krasovskiį functional, together with some additional analysis, is used to prove new sufficient conditions of asymptotic and uniform asymptotic stability for such equations. It is also shown that the so-called Razumikhin condition is unessential when families of Liapunov-Krasovskiį functionals are used. Entrata in Redazione il 25 settembre 1997.

Mixed monotone iterative technique for a class of semilinear impulsive evolution equations in Banach spaces

This paper deals with the existence of mild L-quasi-solutions to the initial value problem for a class of semilinear impulsive evolution equations in an ordered Banach space E. Under a new concept of upper and lower solutions, a new monotone iterative technique on the initial value problem of impulsive evolution equations has been established. The results improve and extend some relevant results in ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations. An example is also given.     

New results for the periodic boundary value problem for impulsive integro-differential equations

This paper discusses the periodic boundary value problem for first-order nonlinear impulsive integro-differential equations. We prove some new comparison principles, and then establish new existence results for extremal solutions by using these principles and the monotone iterative technique. These results improve and extend all known relevant conclusions from the literature. Some examples are also given to illustrate the advantage of our results.     

Exponential stability of hybrid stochastic functional differential systems with delayed impulsive effects: average impulsive interval approach

In this paper, we aim to investigate the exponential stability of general hybrid stochastic functional differential systems with delayed impulses. By using the average impulsive interval and the Lyapunov function method, we derive some sufficient conditions for exponential stability, which are less conservative than those existing results based on the supremum or infimum of impulsive interval and more convenient to be applied than those Razumikhin‐type conditions in the literature. Meanwhile, we show that unstable hybrid stochastic delay differential systems, both linear and nonlinear, can be stabilized by suitably impulsive sequence. Finally, two examples are discussed to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the obtained results. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
