IMPULSIVE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH A SMALL PARAMETER

by Drumi Bainov (Plovdin University, Bulgaria) & Valéry Covachev (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria)

This book is devoted to impulsive differential equations with a small parameter. It consists of three chapters. Chapter One serves as an introduction. In Chapter Two, regularly perturbed impulsive differential equations are considered. Modifications of the method of small parameter, the averaging method, and the method of integral manifolds are proposed. In Chapter Three, singularly perturbed differential equations are considered. A modification of the method of boundary functions is proposed, and asymptotic expansions along the powers of the small parameters of the solutions of the initial value problem, the periodic problem, and some boundary value problems are found. Numerous nonstandard applications to the theory of optimal control are made. The application of some other methods to impulsive singularly perturbed equations is illustrated, such as the numerical-analytical method for finding periodic solutions, the method of differential inequalities and the averaging method.

The book is written clearly, strictly, and understandably. It is intended for mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists and economists, as well as for senior students of these specialities.


Contents:

  • Preliminary Notes and Auxiliary Assertions
  • Regularly Perturbed Impulsive Differential Equations
  • Singularly Perturbed Differential Equations


Readership: Undergraduates and postgraduates specializing in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering and economics.
