Sufficient conditions are given for the solvability of boundary value problems on an infinite interval for nonlinear two dimensional generalized and impulsive differential systems. ! " 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 34K10, 34K45. Key words and phrases: Two dimensional generalized and impulsive differential systems, the Lebesgue–Stiltjes integral, infinite interval, boundary value problem, sufficient conditions. Let c ∈ R, aik : R+ → R (i, k = 1, 2) be nondecreasing continuous from the left functions, and let fk : R+ × R2 → R be a vector-function belonging to the Carathéodory class corresponding to the aik for every i, k ∈ {1, 2}. In this paper we investigate the question of existence of solutions for the two dimensional generalized differential system dxi (t) = f1 (t, x1 (t), x2 (t)) · dai1 (t)+ + f2 (t, x1 (t), x2 (t)) · dai2 (t) for t ∈ R+ (i = 1, 2), (1) satisfying one of the following two conditions o n x1 (0) = c, sup |x1 (t)| + |x2 (t)| : t ∈ R+ < ∞ and o n sup |x1 (t)| + |x2 (t)| : t ∈ R+ < ∞. (2) (3) We give sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of the boundary value problems (1), (2) and (1), (3). Analogous results are contained in [10], [11], [13]–[17] for ordinary differential and functional differential systems. Reported on the Tbilisi Seminar on Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations on July 14, 2008. 160 The theory of generalized ordinary differential equations enables one to investigate ordinary differential, impulsive and difference equations from a common point of view (see, e.g., [1]–[9], [12], [23], and references therein). We realize the obtained result for the following second order system of impulsive equations dxi = fi (t, x1 , x2 ) for almost all t ∈ R+ \ {τ1 , τ2 , . . .} (i = 1, 2), (4) dt xi(τk+)−xi (τk−) = αki Iki (x1(τk−), x2(τk−)) for k∈ {1, 2, . . .} (i = 1, 2), (5) where 0 < τ1 < τ2 < . . . , τk → ∞ (k → ∞) (we will assume τ0 = 0 if necessary), αki ∈ R (i = 1, 2; k = 1, 2, . . .), fi ∈ Kloc (R+ × R2 , R) (i = 1, 2), and Iki : R2 → R (i = 1, 2; k = 1, 2, . . .) are continuous operators. Throughout the paper the following notation and definitions will be used. R = ] − ∞, +∞[ , R+ = [0, +∞[ ; [a, b] (a, b ∈ R) is a closed segment. Rn×m is the set of all real n × m-matrices X = (xij )n,m i,j=1 . n n×1 R = R is the set of all real column n-vectors x = (xi )ni=1 , Rn+ = n×1 R+ . diag(λ1 , . . . , λn ) is the diagonal matrix with the diagonal elements λ1 , . . . , λ n . b ∨(X) is the total variation of the matrix-function X : [a, b] → Rn×m , i.e., a the sum of total variations of the latter’s components. X(t−) and X(t+) are the left and the right limits of the matrix-function X : [a, b] → Rn×m at the point t (we will assume X(t) = X(a) for t ≤ a and X(t) = X(b) for t ≥ b, if necessary); d1 X(t) = X(t) − X(t−), d2 X(t) = X(t+) − X(t). BV([a, b], Rn×m ) is the set of all matrix-functions of bounded variation b X : [a, b] → Rn×m (i.e., such that ∨(X) < +∞). a BVloc (R, Rn×m ) is the set of all matrix-functions X : R → Rn×m for b which ∨(X) < +∞) for every a, b ∈ R (a < b). a sj : BV([a, b], R) → BV([a, b], R) (j = 0, 1, 2) are the operators defined, respectively, by s1 (x)(t) = X a<τ ≤t s1 (x)(a) = s2 (x)(a) = 0, X d1 x(τ ) and s2 (x)(t) = d2 x(τ ) for a < t ≤ b a≤τ <t and s0 (x)(t) = x(t) − s1 (x)(t) − s2 (x)(t) for t ∈ [a, b]. A : BVloc (R, R) × BVloc (R, R) → BVloc (R, R) is the operator defined by A(x, y)(0) = 0, 161 X A(x, y)(t) = y(t) + d1 x(τ ) · 1 − d1 x(τ ) 0<τ ≤t X − d2 x(τ ) · 1 + d2 x(τ ) 0≤τ <t X A(x, y)(t) = y(t) − + X −1 d1 x(τ ) · 1 − d1 x(τ ) t<τ ≤0 d2 x(τ ) · 1 + d2 x(τ ) t≤τ <0 −1 d2 y(τ ) for t > 0, −1 −1 d1 y(τ )− d1 y(τ )+ d2 y(τ ) for t < 0 for every x ∈ BVloc (R, R) such that for every x ∈ BVloc (R, R) such that 1 + (−1)j dj x(t) 6= 0 for t ∈ R (j = 1, 2). If g : [a, b] → R is a nondecreasing function, x : [a, b] → R and a ≤ s < t ≤ b, then Zt x(τ ) dg(τ ) = s Z x(τ ) ds0 (g)(τ ) + where x(τ )d1 g(τ ) + s<τ ≤t ]s,t[ R X X x(τ )d2 g(τ ), s≤τ <t x(τ ) ds0 (g)(τ ) is the Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral over the open ]s,t[ interval ]s, t[ with respect to the measure µ0 (s0 (g)) corresponding to the function s0 (g). If a = b, then we assume Zb x(t) dg(t) = 0. a If g(t) ≡ g1 (t) − g2 (t), where g1 and g2 are nondecreasing functions, then Zt x(τ ) dg(τ ) = s Zt s x(τ ) dg1 (τ ) − Zt x(τ ) dg2 (τ ) for s ≤ t. s L([a, b], R; g) is the set of all functions x : [a, b] → R measurable and integrable with respect to the measures µ(gi ) (i = 1, 2), i.e., such that Zb |x(t)| dgi (t) < +∞ (i = 1, 2). a A matrix-function is said to be continuous, nondecreasing, integrable, etc., if each of its components is such. l×n If G = (gik )l,n is a nondecreasing matrix-function i,k=1 : [a, b] → R n×m and D ⊂ R , then L([a, b], D; G) is the set of all matrix-functions X = (xkj )n,m k,j=1 : [a, b] → D such that xkj ∈ L([a, b], R; gik ) (i = 1, . . . , l; k = 162 1, . . . , n; j = 1, . . . , m); Zt dG(τ ) · X(τ ) = X n Zt xkj (τ )dgik (τ ) k=1 s s Sj (G)(t) ≡ sj (gik )(t) l,m for a ≤ s ≤ t ≤ b, i,j=1 l,n i,k=1 (j = 0, 1, 2). If D1 ⊂ Rn and D2 ⊂ Rn×m , then K([a, b] × D1 , D2 ; G) is the Carathéodory class, i.e., the set of all mappings F = (fkj )n,m k,j=1 : [a, b] × D1 → D2 such that for each i ∈ {1, . . . , l}, j ∈ {1, . . . , m} and k ∈ {1, . . . , n}: a) the function fkj (·, x) : [a, b] → D2 is µ(gik )-measurable for every x ∈ D1 ; b) the function fkj (t, ·) : D1 → D2 is continuous for µ(gik )-almost every t ∈ [a, b], and sup |fkj (·, x)| : x ∈ D0 ∈ L([a, b], R; gik ) for every compact D0 ⊂ D 1 . If Gj : [a, b] → Rl×n (j = 1, 2) are nondecreasing matrix-functions, G = G1 − G2 and X : [a, b] → Rn×m , then Zt dG(τ ) · X(τ ) = s Zt dG1 (τ ) · X(τ ) − s Zt dG2 (τ ) · X(τ ) for s ≤ t, s Sk (G) = Sk (G1 ) − Sk (G2 ) (k = 0, 1, 2), L([a, b], D; G) = 2 \ L([a, b], D; Gj ), 2 \ K([a, b] × D1 , D2 ; Gj ). j=1 K([a, b] × D1 , D2 ; G) = j=1 Lloc (R, D; G) is the set of all matrix-functions X : R → D such that its restriction on [a, b] belongs to L([a, b], D; G) for every a and b from R (a < b). K([a, b] × D1 , D2 ; G) is the set of all matrix-functions F = (fkj )n,m k,j=1 : R × D1 → D2 such that its restriction on [a, b] belongs to K([a, b], D; G) for every a and b from R (a < b). If G(t) ≡ diag(t, . . . , t), then we omit G in the notation containing G. The inequalities between the vectors and between the matrices are understood componentwise. A vector-function x = (xi )21 ∈ BVloc (R+ , R2 ) is said to be a solution of the system (1) if xi (t) = xi (s) + Zt f1 (τ, x1 (τ ), x2 (τ )) · dai1 (τ )+ s + Zt s f2 (τ, x1 (τ ), x2 (τ )) · dai2 (t) for 0 ≤ s ≤ t (s, t ∈ R) (i = 1, 2). 163 If s ∈ R and β ∈ BVloc (R, R) are such that 1 + (−1)j dj β(t) 6= 0 for (−1)j (t − s) < 0 (j = 1, 2), then by γβ (·, s) we denote the unique solution of the Cauchy problem dγ(t) = γ(t) dβ(t), γ(s) = 1. It is known (see [9], [12]) that γβ (t, s) = exp ξβ (t) − ξβ (s) × Y Y s<τ ≤t sgn 1 − d1 β(τ ) × sgn 1 + d2 β(τ ) s≤τ <t for t > s, γβ (t, s) = γβ−1 (s, t) for t < s, where ξβ (t) = s0 (β)(t) − s0 (β)(0)− X X − ln 1 − d1 β(τ ) + ln 1 + d2 β(τ ) for t > 0, 0<τ ≤t 0≤τ <t ξβ (t) = s0 (β)(t) − s0 (β)(0)+ X X + ln 1 − d1 β(τ ) − sgn 1 + d2 β(τ ) for t < 0. t<τ ≤0 t≤τ <0 Remark 1. Let β ∈ BV([a, b], R) be such that 1 + (−1)j dj β(t) > 0 for t ∈ [a, b] (j = 1, 2). Let, moreover, one of the functions β, ξβ and A(β, β) be nondecreasing (nonincreasing). Then the other two functions will be nondecreasing (nonincreasing) as well. Let δ > 0. We introduce the operators n o ν1δ (ξ)(t) = sup τ ≥ t : ξ(τ ) ≤ ξ(t+) + δ and n o ν−1δ (η)(t) = inf τ ≤ t : η(τ ) ≤ η(t−) + δ , respectively, on the set of all nondecresing functions ξ : R → R and on the set of all nonincreasing functions η : R → R. e C([a, b], D), where D ⊂ Rn×m , is the set of all absolutely continuous matrix-functions X : [a, b] → D; eloc (R+ \ {τ1 , τ2 , . . .}, D) is the set of all matrix-functions X : R+ → D C whose restriction to an arbitrary closed interval [a, b] from R+ \ {τ1 , τ2 , . . .} e belongs to C([a, b], D). L([a, b], D) is the set of all matrix-functions X : [a, b] → D, measurable and integrable. 164 Lloc (R+ \ {τ1 , τ2 , . . .}, D) is the set of all matrix-functions X : R+ → D whose restriction to an arbitrary closed interval [a, b] from R+ \ {τ1 , τ2 , . . .} e belongs to C([a, b], D). If D1 ⊂ Rn and D2 ⊂ Rn×m , then K([a, b] × D1 , D2 ) is the Carathéodory class, i.e., the set of all mappings F = (fkj )n,m k,j=1 : [a, b] × D1 → D2 such that for each i ∈ {1, . . . , l}, j ∈ {1, . . . , m} and k ∈ {1, . . . , n}: a) the function fkj (·, x) : [a, b] → D2 is measurable for every x ∈ D1 ; b) the function fkj (t, · ) : D1 → D2 is continuous for almost all t ∈ [a, b], and sup{|fkj (· , x)| : x ∈ D0 } ∈ L([a, b], R; gik ) for every compact D0 ⊂ D1 . Kloc (R+ × D1 , D2 ) is the set of all mappings F : R+ × D1 → D2 whose restriction to an arbitrary closed interval [a, b] from R+ \{τ1 , τ2 , . . .} belongs to K([a, b] × D1 , D2 ). By a solution of the impulsive system (3), (4) we understand a continuous eloc (R+ \ {τ1 , τ2 , . . .}) ∩ BVloc s(R+ , Rn ) from the left vector-function x ∈ C 0 satisfying both the system (1) for a.a. t ∈ R+ \ {τk }m k=1 and the relation (2) for every k ∈ {1, 2, . . .}. Theorem 1. Let 0 ≤ d2 (ai1 (t) + ai2 (t)) < |ηii |−1 for t ∈ R+ (i = 1, 2), 1 + σi d2 aii (t) > 0 for t ∈ R+ (i = 1, 2), σi fk (t, x1 , x2 ) sgn xi ≤ ηi1 |x1 | + ηi2 |x2 | + qk (t) for µ(aik )-almost all t ∈ R+ and x1 , x2 ∈ R (i, k = 1, 2), and let the real part of every eigenvalue of the matrix (ηil )2i,l=1 be negative, where σ1 = 1, σ2 = −1 (σ1 = σ2 = −1), η12 , η21 ∈ R; ηii < 0 (i = 1, 2), qk ∈ Lloc (R+ , R; a1k ) ∩ Lloc (R+ , R; a2k ) (k = 1, 2). Let, moreover, σi lim inf ξσi aii (t) − ξσi aii (0) > δ > 0 (i = 1, 2) t→∞ for some δ > 0, νZi (t) sup |qk (τ )| ds0 (aik )(τ )+ t + X (1 + σi d2 aii (t))−1 |qk (τ )|d2 aik (τ ) : t ∈ R+ t<τ ≤νi (t) < ∞ (i, k = 1, 2), +∞ Z sil = γσi aii (t, s) dA(σi aii , ail )(s) < ∞ (i 6= l; i, l = 1, 2) 0 and s1 s2 < 1, where νi (t) ≡ νσi δ (−ξσi aii )(t) (i = 1, 2). Then the problem (1), (2) ((1), (3)) is solvable. 165 Consider now the impulsive system (4), (5). Quite a number of issues of the theory of systems of differential equations with impulsive effect (both linear and nonlinear) have been studied sufficiently well (for survey of the results on impulsive systems see, e.g., [6], [8], [18]–[22], and references therein). It is easy to show that the vector-function x = (xi )2i=1 is a solution of the impulsive system (4), (5) if and only if it is a solution of the system (1), where a12 (t) = a21 (t) ≡ 0, X aii (t) ≡ t + αki (i = 1, 2), k: 0≤τk <t fi (τk , x1 , x2 ) = Iki (x1 , x2 ) for x1 , x2 ∈ R (i = 1, 2; k = 1, 2, . . .). It is evident that aii (i = 1, 2) are nondecreasing if αki ≥ 0, d2 aii (τk ) = αki and d2 aii (t) = 0 it t 6= τk (i = 1, 2; k = 1, 2, . . .). Moreover, they are continuous from the left. In this case X ξσi aii ≡ σi t + ln |1 + σi αki | (i = 1, 2). (6) k: 0≤τk <t Theorem 2. Let 0 ≤ αki < |ηii |−1 (i = 1, 2; k = 1, 2, . . .), (7) 1 + σi αki > 0 (i = 1, 2; k = 1, 2, . . .), (8) σi fi (t, x1 , x2 ) sgn xi ≤ ηi1 |x1 | + ηi2 |x2 | + qi (t) for almost all t ∈ R+ and x1 , x2 ∈ R (i = 1, 2; k = 1, 2, . . .), σi Iki (x1 , x2 ) sgn xi ≤ ηi1 |x1 | + ηi2 |x2 | + qki for x1 , x2 ∈ R (i = 1, 2; k = 1, 2, . . .), and let the real part of every eigenvalue of the matrix (ηil )2i,l=1 be negative, where σ1 = 1, σ2 = −1 (σ1 = σ2 = −1), η12 , η21 ∈ R, ηii < 0 (i = 1, 2), qi ∈ Lloc (R+ , R) (i = 1, 2). Let, moreover, X lim inf t + σi ln(1 + σi αki ) > δ > 0 (i = 1, 2) (9) t→∞ k: 0≤τk <t for some δ > 0, νZi (t) sup |qi (τ )|d(τ ) + t X (1 + σi αki ) −1 |qki | : t ∈ R+ k: 0≤τk <νi (t) <∞ (i = 1, 2), where the functions νi (t) ≡ νσi δ (−ξσi aii )(t) (i = 1, 2) are defined according to (6). Then the problem (4), (5); (2) ((4), (5); (3)) is solvable. Remark 2. By condition (7), the conditions (8) and (9) are fulfilled if σi = 1. 166 Acknowledgement This work is supported by the Georgian National Science Foundation (Grant No. GNSF/ST06/3-002) References 1.
