Introduction and preliminaries Many evolution processes are characterized by the fact that at certain moments of time they experience a change of state abruptly. Consequently, it is natural to assume that these perturbations act instantaneously, that is, in the form of impulses. It is known that many biological phenomena involving threshold, bursting rhythm models in medicine and biology, optimal control models in economics, pharmacokinetics, and frequency modulated systems do exhibit impulse effects. The branch of modern, applied analysis known as “impulsive” differential equations provides a natural framework to mathematically describe the aforementioned jumping processes. The reader is referred to monographs 1–4 and references therein for some nice examples and applications to the above areas. In this paper, we mainly study the following second-order impulsive differential equations with antiperiodic boundary value conditions: u ft, u, u , t ∈ 0, T \ Ω, u tk u tk Ik u tk , u tk u tk Jk u tk , u0 −uT , u 0 −u T , k 1, 2, . . . , m, 1.1 2 Boundary Value Problems n n → Rn is continuous on 0, T \ Ω × Rn × Rn , where Ω : m i1 ti and f : 0, T × R × R n n I, J : R → R are continuous functions. In 4–12, the authors studied the existence of antiperiodic solutions for first-order, second-order, or high-order differential equations without impulses, and in 3, 13–16 the authors were concerned with the antiperiodic solutions of first-order impulsive differential equations. Also we should mention the work by Cabada et al. in 17 which is concerned with a certain nth order linear differential equation with constant impulses at fixed times and nonhomogeneous periodic boundary conditions. So far, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to deal with the antiperiodic solutions to second-order differential equations with nonconstant impulses. Our method to prove the existence of antiperiodic solutions is based on the works in 13, 18, 19. We should point out that it is Christopher C. Tisdell who started with this method. The article is organized as follows. In Section 2, we present the expression of Green’s functions of related linear operator in the space of piecewise continuous functions. Section 3 contains the main results of the paper and is devoted to the existence of solutions to 1.1. There, differential inequalities are developed and applied to prove the existence of at least one solution to 1.1. In Section 4, a couple of examples are given to illustrate how the main results work. To understand the notation used above and the ideas in the remainder of the paper, we now briefly introduce some appropriate concepts connected with impulsive differential equations. Most of the following notation can be found in 1, 2, 4, 5. We assume that ftk , x, y : limt → tk ft, x, y, ft−k , x, y : limt → t−k ft, x, y exist and ft−k , x, y ftk , x, y, k 1, 2, . . . , m. We introduce and denote the Banach space P C0, T , Rn by P C 0, T ; Rn : u : 0, T −→ Rn , u ∈ C0, T \ Ω, Rn , u is left continuous at t tk , the right-hand limit u tk exists 1.2 with the norm ||u||P C : supt∈0,T ||ut||, where ||·|| is the usual Euclidean norm and ·, · will be the Euclidean inner product. In a similar fashion to the above, define and denote the Banach space P C1 0, T , Rn by P C1 0, T ; Rn : u ∈ P C 0, T ; Rn : u ∈ C1 0, T \ Ω, Rn , the limits u t−k , u tk exist with u t−k u tk 1.3 with the norm ||u||P C1 : supt∈0,T {||ut||P C , ||u t||P C }. The following fixed point theorem is our main tool to prove the existence of at least one solution to 1.1. Schaefer’s fixed point theorem [19] Let X be a Banach space and let A : X → X be a completely continuous operator. Then, either i the operator equation x λAx has a solution for λ 1, or ii the set S : {x ∈ X, x λAx, λ ∈0, 1} is unbounded. Y. Xing and V. Romanovski 3 2. Expression of Green’s function In this part, we present the expression of Green’s functions for second order impulsive equations with antiperiodic conditions. Lemma 2.1. Assume p ≥ 0 and q > 0 are two constants. Let α p p2 4q/2, β p − p2 4q/2. Then for any ht ∈ P C0, T , Rn , ut solves u − pu − qu ht, t ∈ 0, T , t / tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m, u tk u tk Ik u tk , u tk u tk Jk u tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m, u0 −uT , 2.1 u 0 −u T if and only if ut is the solution of integral equation ut T Gt, shsds 0 m m H t, ti Ii u ti G t, ti Ji u ti , i1 2.2 i1 where ⎧ αT t−s eβT t−s e ⎪ ⎪ , − ⎪ ⎨ αT 1e 1 eβT 1 Gt, s α−β ⎪ αt−s ⎪ eβt−s ⎪ ⎩e − , αT 1e 1 eβT ⎧ αT t−s βe αeβT t−s ⎪ ⎪ − , ⎪ ⎨ 1 eαT 1 eβT 1 Ht, s α−β ⎪ αt−s ⎪ αeβt−s ⎪ ⎩− βe , 1 eαT 1 eβT 0 ≤ t ≤ s ≤ T, G 0 ≤ s < t ≤ T, 0 ≤ t ≤ s ≤ T, H 0 ≤ s < t ≤ T. Proof. Assume ut is a solution of 2.1 and let vt u t − βut for t / tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m. We have v t − αvt u t − α βu t αβut u t − pu t − qut ht. 2.3 Then for t ∈ 0, t1 , vt e αt e v0 0 e 0 t −αs hsds e αt v0 t e 0 −αs hsds . 2.4 4 Boundary Value Problems This implies vt1 eαt1 v0 2.1 we get that t1 0 e−αs hsds. Consequently, from the impulsive condition in v t1 v t1 J1 u t1 − βI1 u t1 eαt1 v0 t1 e −αs hsds Δ1 , 2.5 0 where Δi : Ji uti − βIi uti , i 1, 2, . . . , m. Now we integrate 2.3 from t1 to t ∈ t1 , t2 and use 2.5 to obtain vt e αt e −αt1 v t1 t e −αs hsds eαt v0 eαt−t1 Δ1 t1 t eαt−s hsds. 2.6 0 It follows that t2 v t2 v t2 Δ2 eαt2 v0 eαt2 −t1 Δ1 eαt2 −s hsds Δ2 . 2.7 0 Similarly, we have for t ∈ t2 , t3 that vt eαt v0 eαt−t1 Δ1 eαt−t2 Δ2 t eαt−s hsds. 2.8 0 To sum up, we have for t ∈ 0, T that vt eαt v0 eαt−ti Δi ti ∈0,t t eαt−s hsds. 2.9 0 Since vt u t − βut, we can deduce in a similar way as to deal with ht v t − αvt to obtain ut eβt u0 eβt−ti Ii u ti ti ∈0,t t eβt−s vsds. 2.10 0 Now we are in position to show the expression of ut for t ∈ 0, T . To do that, we need t to compute 0 eβt−s vsds in 2.10. In what follows we present the expression of ut for t ∈ t1 , t2 , t2 , t3 step by step and then obtain the general form of ut for t ∈ 0, T . Y. Xing and V. Romanovski 5 First of all, for t ∈ t1 , t2 , we have t e βt−s vsds t1 e 0 βt−s vsds t 2.11 eβt−s vsds. t1 0 See that t1 e βt−s vsds e 0 0 t t eβt−s vsds t1 t1 e v0 βt−s αs s e αs−τ hτdτ ds, 0 eβt−s eαs v0 Δ1 eαs−t1 t1 s 2.12 eαs−τ hτdτ ds. 0 Consequently, t e βt−s vsds 0 t e βt−s e v0 αs e 0 Integrate t 0 s αs−τ hτdτ ds Δ1 t 0 eβt−s eαs−t1 ds. 2.13 t1 s eβt−s 0 eαs−τ hτdτds by parts to get eβt α−β t hse−αs eα−βt − eα−βs ds. 2.14 0 Thus, t e 0 βt−s eβt v0 eα−βt − 1 e−αt1 Δ1 eα−βt − eα−βt1 vsds α−β t −αs α−βt α−βs hse −e e ds . 2.15 0 Similarly, we have for t ∈ t2 , t3 that t e 0 βt−s eβt v0 eα−βt − 1 e−αt1 Δ1 eα−βt − eα−βt1 vsds α−β e −αt2 Δ2 e α−βt −e α−βt2 t hse −αs α−βt α−βs −e e ds . 0 2.16 6 Boundary Value Problems Now we consider ut for t ∈ t1 , t2 . Clearly, ut eβt u0 eβt−t1 I1 u t1 t α−βt α−βt eβt −αt1 α−βt1 −αs α−βt α−βs − 1 e Δ1 e −e −e hse e ds . v0 e α−β 0 2.17 Noting that v0 u 0 − βu0, we have 1 u 0 − βu0eαt αu0 − u 0eβt ut α−β t αt−s βt−s αt−t1 βt−t1 hs e −e Δ1 − e e Δ1 , 2.18 0 i is denoted by Δ i J1 ut1 − αI1 ut1 , i 1, 2, . . . , m. Similarly, for t ∈ t2 , t3 where Δ there holds 1 ut u 0 − βu0eαt αu0 − u 0eβt α−β t αt−s βt−s αt−t1 αt−t2 βt−t1 βt−t2 hs e −e Δ1 e Δ2 − e e Δ1 − e Δ2 . 0 2.19 Thus, for t ∈ 0, T , 1 ut u 0 − βu0eαt αu0 − u 0eβt α−β t αt−s βt−s αt−ti βt−ti hs e −e e Δi − e Δi . 0 ti ∈0,t 2.20 ti ∈0,t By the boundary condition of 2.1, we have T m 1 αT −s αT −ti u 0 − βu0 − , e hsds Δi e 1 eαT 0 i1 T m 1 βT −s βT −ti . αu0 − u 0 e hsds Δi e 1 eβT 0 i1 2.21 Y. Xing and V.

Now assume ut is a solution of 2.2. Then for t / tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m. u t T Gt t, shsds 0 u t T m m Ht t, ti Ii u ti Gt t, ti Ji u ti , i1 Gtt t, shsds ht 0 2.23 i1 m m Htt t, ti Ii u ti Gtt t, ti Ji u ti . i1 2.24 i1 It is easy to verify u t − pu t − qt ht. 2.25 For t tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m, we compute straightforwardly to get H tk , tk − H tk , tk 1, Gt tk , tk − Gt tk , tk 1, G tk , tk − G tk , tk 0, Ht tk , tk − Ht tk , tk 0, 2.26 Δu tk Jk u tk . 2.27 which implies Δu tk Ik u tk , Now, we prove ut is a solution of 2.1. Then the proof is completed. For later use, we present the following estimations: max |Gt, s| ≤ t,s∈0,T ×0,T 1 α−β α |Ht, s| ≤ max α−β t,s∈0,T ×0,T eβT eαT 1 eαT 1 eβT eβT eαT 1 eαT 1 eβT : G0 , αG0 , 8 Boundary Value Problems max t,s∈0,T ×0,T |Gt, s| ≤ |Ht t, s| ≤ max t,s∈0,T ×0,T α α−β eβT eαT αT 1e 1 eβT αG0 , αT |α| · |β| e eβT ≤ α2 G0 . α − β 1 eαT 1 eβT 2.28 Corollary 2.2. Assume in 2.1 that p 0 and q M2 > 0.

We can check easily that ut satisfies 2.34 and hence ut is a solution of 2.33. Also we get by straightforward computation that max ∗ G t, s ≤ T , 4 max t,s∈0,T ×0,T ∗ G t, s t,s∈0,T ×0,T t max ∗ H t, s ≤ 1 . 2 t,s∈0,T ×0,T 2.36 Recall that a mapping between Banach spaces is compact if it is continuous and carries bounded sets into relatively compact sets. Lemma 2.4. Suppose that f : 0, T × Rn × Rn and I, J : Rn → Rn are continuous. Define an operator A : P C1 0, T , Rn → P C1 0, T , Rn as T Aut : Gt, s fs, us, u s − pu s − qus ds 0 m m H t, ti Ii u ti G t, ti Ji u ti , i1 i1 where Gt, s and Ht, s are as given in Lemma 2.1. Then A is a compact map. 2.37 10 Boundary Value Problems Proof. Noting the continuity of f and Ik , Jk , this follows in a standard step-by-step process and so it is omitted. 3. Main results In this section, we prove the existence results for 1.1 in presence of Schaefer’s fixed-point theorem. Theorem 3.1. Suppose that f : 0, T × Rn × Rn and I, J : Rn → Rn are continuous. If for some p ≥ 0 and q > 0, there exist nonnegative constants γ, δk , ζk , Lk , Nk , and M such that ft, x, y − py − qx ≤ γ x y, ft, x, y y 2 M, m ∀t, x, y ∈ 0, T \ ti × Rn × Rn , 3.1 i0 Ik x ≤ δk x Lk , m Jk x ≤ ζk x Nk , δk k1 ∀x ∈ Rn , m 1 ζk < , H k1 3.2 3.3 where · is the Euclidean inner product, H max{G0 , αG0 , α2 G0 }. Then 1.1 has at least one solution. Proof. Define an integral operator A as Au T m m Gt, s fs, us, u s − pu s − qus ds H t, ti Ii u ti G t, ti Ji u ti , 0 i1 i1 3.4 where Gt, s and Ht, s follow the forms of G and H in Lemma 2.1. By Lemma 2.4, A is a compact mapping. Also, it follows from Lemma 2.1 that ut is a fixed point of A if and only if ut satisfies u t − pu t − qut ft, ut, u t − pu t − qut, t / tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m, u tk u tk Ik u tk , u tk u tk Jk u tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m, u0 −uT , 3.5 u 0 −u T , which is equivalent to 1.1. Consequently, all that we need to do is to verify that A has at least one fixed point. With this in mind, we assume ut is a solution of u λAu, λ ∈ 0, 1. 3.6 Y. Xing and V. Romanovski 11 That is, ut T Gt, sλ fs, us, u s − pu s − qus ds 0 m m λ H t, ti Ii u ti λ G t, ti Ji u ti . i1 3.7 i1 It is equivalent to say that ut satisfies u t − pu t − qut λ ft, ut, u t − pu t − qut , u tk u tk λIk u tk , t / tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m, u tk u tk λJk u tk , u0 −uT , k 1, 2, . . . , m, 3.8 u 0 −u T . Firstly, we see that for λ ∈ 0, 1, λ ft, ut, u t − pu t − qut ≤ λ γ ut u t, ft, ut, u t u t 2 M γ ut u t, λft, ut, u t λ u t 2 λM γ ut u t, u t − 1 − λpu t qut λ u t 2 λM γ ut u t, u t − 1 − λp q ut, u t 3.9 − q1 − λ ut 2 − p1 − λ u t 2 λ u t 2 λM ≤ γ ut u t, u t − 1 − λp q ut, u t u t 2 M γ ut u t, u t u t − 1 − λp q ut, u t − ut, u t M. Further more, by the antiperiodic boundary condition we have T 1 ut, u tdt 2 0 T T 1 d ut 2 uT 2 − u0 2 0, 2 0 dt 1 ut u t, u t u tdt uT u T 2 − u0 u 0 2 0. 2 0 3.10 12 Boundary Value Problems As a result, T λft, ut, u t − pu t − qutdt ≤ MT. 3.11 0 Now we show that any potential solution of 3.6 is bounded a priori. By 3.2 and 3.11, we obtain ut λ Aut T Gt, sλ ft, ut, u t − pu t − qut dt 0 m m λ H t, ti Ii u ti λ G t, ti Ji u ti i1 i1 ≤ G0 T m m λft, ut, u t − pu t − qutdt λαG0 Ii u ti λG0 Ji u ti 0 i1 m m MT α Lk Nk ≤ G0 k1 m m MT Lk Nk k1 G0 m m α ζ i u t i δi u t i i1 k1 ≤ G1 i1 m m δi u t i . G1 ζi u ti i1 k1 i1 i1 3.12 Taking the supremum and rearranging, we get by 3.3 that m G1 T M m k1 Lk k1 Nk sup ut ≤ . m 1 − G1 m t∈0,T k1 δk k1 ζk 3.13 Differentiating both sides of 3.7 and noting 2.23, we obtain m G2 T M m k1 Lk k1 Nk sup u t ≤ , m 1 − G2 m t∈0,T k1 δk k1 ζk 3.14 G2 max αG0 , α2 G0 . 3.15 where Y.

By Scheafer’s fixed theorem we know that A has at least one fixed point. Therefore, the proof is completed. Suppose both p 0 and q M2 in Theorem 3.1. We obtain the following theorem. Theorem 3.2. Assume that f : 0, T × Rn × Rn and I, J : Rn → Rn are continuous. If for some M > 0 there exist nonnegative constants γ, δk , ζk , Lk , N k , and M∗ such that ft, x, y − M2 x ≤ γ x, ft, x, y y 2 M∗ , ∀t, x, y ∈ m 0, T \ ti × Rn × Rn , i0 Ik x ≤ δk x Lk , Jk x ≤ ζk x Nk , m δk k1 ∀x ∈ Rn , 3.17 m 1 ζk < , Ȟ k1 where · is the Euclidean inner product, Ȟ max{eMT /M1 eMT , eMT /1 eMT , MeMT / M1 eMT }, then 1.1 has at least one solution.

Consider the equation u Au. 3.22 To show that A has at least one fixed point, we apply Schaefer’s theorem by showing that all potential solutions to u λAu, λ ∈ 0, 1, 3.23 are bounded a priori, with the bound being independent of λ. With this in mind, let ut be a solution of 3.23. Note that ut is also a solution to u t − M2 ut λ ft, ut, u t − M2 ut , u tk u tk λIk u tk , t / tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m, u tk u tk λJk u tk , u0 −uT , k 1, 2, . . . , m, 3.24 u 0 −u T . On one hand, we see that for λ ∈ 0, 1, λft, ut, u t ≤ λ γ ut, ft, ut, u t u t 2 M∗ γ ut, λft, ut, u t λ u t 2 λM γ ut, u t − 1 − λM2 ut λ u t, u t λM∗ γ ut, u t − 1 − λM2 ut 2 λu t, u t λM∗ 3.25 ≤ γ ut, u u t, u t M∗ γ d ut, u t M∗ . dt On the other hand, by the antiperiodic boundary condition we have T 0 ut, u u t, u t dt uT , u T −u0, u 0 −u0, −u 0−u0, u 0 0. 3.26 Y. Xing and V. Romanovski 15 It therefore follows that T λft, ut, u tdt ≤ M∗ T. 3.27 0 Consequently, ut λ Aut m m T Gt, sλ ft, ut, u t dt λ H t, ti Ii u ti λ t, ti Ji u ti 0 i1 i1 ≤ Ǧ0 T m m λft, ut, u t − pu t − qutdt λMǦ0 Ii u ti λǦ0 u ti 0 i1 ≤ Ǧ1 m m M T Lk N k ∗ k1 i1 m m Ǧ1 ζ i u t i δi u t i , k1 i1 i1 3.28 where Ǧ0 eMT /M1 eMT , Ǧ1 max{eMT /M1 eMT , eMT /1 eMT }. We compute directly to get m Ǧ1 T M∗ m k1 Lk k1 Nk sup ut ≤ . m 1 − Ǧ1 m t∈0,T k1 δk k1 ζk 3.29 Differentiating both sides of 3.19, we obtain m Ǧ2 T ∗ M m k1 Lk k1 Nk sup u t ≤ , m 1 − Ǧ2 m t∈0,T k1 δk k1 ζk 3.30 where Ǧ2 max ! eMT MeMT , . 1 eMT 1 eMT 3.31 Thus, ut P C1 max ! m m Ǧ1 T M∗ m Ǧ2 T M∗ m k1 Lk k1 Nk k1 Lk k1 Nk : Ř. , m m 1 − Ǧ1 m 1 − Ǧ2 m k1 δk k1 ζk k1 δk k1 ζk 3.32 Then the proof is completed. 16 Boundary Value Problems Similarly, we can prove the following existence result for M 0 in Theorem 3.2. Theorem 3.3. Suppose that f : 0, T × Rn × Rn and I, J : Rn → Rn are continuous. If there exist nonnegative constants γ, δk , ζk , Lk , Nk , and M such that ft, x, y ≤ γ x, ft, x, y y 2 M, Ik x ≤ δk x Lk , t, x, y ∈ m 0, T \ ti × Rn × Rn , Jk x ≤ ζk x Nk , i0 ∀x ∈ Rn , 3.33 m m 1 δk ζ k < ∗ , G0 k1 k1 where · is the Euclidean inner product, G∗0 max{T/4, 1/2}, then 1.1 has at least one solution. 4.

Romanovski 17 Noting minv≥0 {v4 − v3 − v} > −2, we have for γ 1 and M 3 that γ x y, ft, x, y y2 M ≥ |ft, x, y − y − 2x|, ∀t, x, y ∈ 0, 1 × R2 . 4.4 Moreover, H α2 G0 4/3e2 /1 e2 e−1 /1 e−1 ≈ 1.53298, δ1 ζ1 0.2 < 1/H. Then the conclusion follows from Theorem 3.1. Example 4.2. Consider antiperiodic value problem u t ut utu t2 cos t, 1 u t1 u t1 u t1 4, 4 u0 −u1, t ∈ 0, 1, t / t1 , 1 u t1 u t1 − u t1 , 2 4.5 u 0 −u 1. We claim that 4.5 has at least one solution. Proof. Let T 1 and ft, x, y x xy2 cos t in Theorem 3.2. Choosing M 1, we have for t, x, y ∈ 0, 1 × R2 that |ft, x, y − x| |x|y2 cos t, x, ft, x, y y2 x2 x2 y2 y2 xcos t ≥ x2 x2 y2 y2 − |x|. 4.6 Since minv≥0 {v2 − v} > −1, we have x2 y2 y2 − |x|y2 y2 x2 − |x| 1 > 0. Thus, for γ 1 and M∗ 2, γ x, ft, x, y y2 M∗ ≥ |ft, x, y − x|, ∀t, x, y ∈ 0, 1 × R2 . 4.7 Moreover, Ȟ e/1 e, δ1 ζ1 3/4 < 1/Ȟ. Then the conclusion follows from Theorem 3.2.
