GEORGIAN MATHEMATICAL JOURNAL: Vol. 3, No. 1, 1996, 11-26 PARTIAL AVERAGING FOR IMPULSIVE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH SUPREMUM D. BAINOV, YU. DOMSHLAK, AND S. MILUSHEVA Abstract. Partial averaging for impulsive differential equations with supremum is justified. The proposed averaging schemes allow one to simplify considerably the equations considered. 1. Introduction For mathematical simulation in various fields of science and technology impulsive differential equations with supremum are successfully used. The investigation of these equations is rather difficult due to the discontinuous character of their solutions and the presence of the supremum of the unknown function, hence the need for approximate methods for solving them. In the present paper three schemes for partial averaging of impulsive differential equations with supremum are considered and justified. 2. Preliminary Notes We note, for the sake of definiteness, that by the value of a piecewise continuous function at a point of discontinuity we mean the limit from the left of the function (provided it exists at this point. By the symbol <τ k <T we denote summation over all values of k for which the inequality < τ k < T is satisfied, and by the symbol the Euclidean norm in R n. In the proof of the main result we shall use the following two lemmas. Lemma 1. Let u(t be a piecewise continuous function for t a with points of discontinuity of the first kind τ k > a, k = 1, 2,..., for which τ k < τ k+1 for k = 1, 2,..., and lim τ k =. Then, if for t a the k 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. 34A37, 34C29. Key words and phrases.

MILUSHEVA inequality u(t c 1 + c 2 a u(τ dτ + c 3 a<τ k <t u(τ k holds, where c 2 is a positive constant and c 1, c 3 are nonnegative constants, then for t a the estimate u(t c 1 (1 + c 3 i(a,t exp{c 2 (t a} is valid, where i(a, t is the number of points τ k which belong to the interval a, t. Lemma 1 is proved by means of the Gronwall Bellman inequality and by induction. Lemma 1 is a particular case of the theorems on integral inequalities obtained in 1] and 2]. Lemma 2. Let the sequence τ 1,..., τ k... be such that for any k N the inequality τ k τ k 1 holds, where is a positive constant and τ =. Then for any T and t the inequality is valid. t τ k <t +T (τ k t < 3T 2 Proof. Let n 2 and τ j < t τ j+1 < < τ j+n < t + T. Then for T we have t τ k <t +T 1 j+n 1 k=j+1 τ j+n (τ k t = j+n 1 k=j+1 2 (τ k t + (τ j+n t (τ k t (τ k+1 τ k + (τ j+n t 1 (t t dt + (τ j+n t < τ j+1 T 2 2 + T 3T 2 2. Let τ j < t τ j+1 < t + T τ j+2. Then for T we have t τ k <t +T (τ k t = τ j+1 t < T 3T 2 2.

Main Results Let the impulsive system of differential equations with supremum have the form ż(t = εz(t, z(t, z(t, z(t, t >, t τ k, z(t = κ(t, ż(t = κ(t, h t, z(t z(t + z(t = εl k (z(t, t = τ k, k N, where z(t = (z 1 (t,..., z n (t, h is a positive constant, z(t = (z 1 (t,..., z n (t, z(t = ( z 1 (t,..., z n (t, z(t + =(z 1 (t +,..., z n (t +, z(t =(z 1 (t,..., z n (t, z i (t = sup{z i (s : s t h, t]}, z i (t = sup{ż i (s : s t h, t]}, z i (t + = lim z i(s, z i (t = lim z i(s, i = 1,..., n, s t, s>t s t, s<t κ(t = (κ 1 (t,..., κ n (t is an initial function, =τ <τ 1 < <τ k <, lim k τ k = and ε> is a small parameter. Let the functions Z(t, z and L k (z exist for which (1 and 1 T ] lim Z(t, z, z, Z(t, z dt = (2 T T 1 lim T T <τ k <T Lk (z L k (z ] dt =, k N.

The functions Z(t, z, u, v, Z(t, z, L k (z, and L k (z, k N, are continuous in the respective projections of the domain {t, z, u G, v H}, where G and H are open domains in R n.

There exist positive constants λ and M such that for all t, z, u, z, u G, v, v H, k N, the following inequalities are valid: Z(t, z, u, v + Z(t, z + L k (z + L k (z M, Z(t, z, u, v Z(t, z, u, v λ ( z z + u u + v v, Z(t, z Z(t, z + L k (z L k (z + L k (z L k (z λ z z and for t h, ] the estimate κ(t + κ(t M is valid. 3. For each z G there exist the limits (2 and (3. 4. There exists a positive constant such that for k N the inequality τ k τ k 1 holds, where τ =. 5. For any ε (, ε ], ε = const >, the initial-value problem (1 has a unique solution z(t which is defined for t ; z i (t and ż i (t (i = 1,..., n have a finite number of extremums in each interval of length h; z(t and ż(t satisfy respectively the conditions z( + = κ( and ż( + = κ(. 6. For any ε (, ε ] the initial-value problem (4 has a unique solution ζ(t which is defined for t and for t belongs to the compact Q G together with some ρ-neighborhood of it (ρ = const >. Then for any η > and L > there exists ε (, ε (ε = ε (η, L such that for ε (, ε ] and t, Lε 1 ] the inequality z(t ζ(t < η Proof. From the conditions of Theorem 1 it follows that for the compact Q G there exists a continuous function α(t which monotonically tends to zero as T and is such that for z Q the inequalities T Z(t, z, z, Z(t, z ] dt T α(t (5 and Lk (z L k (z ] T α(t (6 <τ k <T hold.

Without loss of generality, for the estimation of the function β(t we shall assume that h < t, z i (τ k = max(z i (τ k, z i (τ k +, and ż i (τ k = max(ż i (τ k, ż i (τ k + for i = 1,..., n and k N. From the last assumption it follows that the supremums in z i (t and z i (t (i = 1,..., n are achieved. Denote by s i (t (resp., s i (t the leftmost point of the interval t h, t], t, at which z i (s (resp., ż i (s takes its greatest value in this interval.

In order to obtain estimates of the functions δ(t for t T ε we partition the interval T ε into q equal parts by the points t i = il εq, i =, 1,..., q. Let t be an arbitrary chosen and fixed number from the interval T ε, and let t (t s, t s+1 ], where s q 1.

Consider the initial-value problem (1, where ( ( x(t X(t, z(t, z(t, z(t z(t =, Z(t, z(t, z(t, z(t =, y(t Y (t, z(t, z(t, z(t ( ( ( (12 ϕ(t x(t Ik (z κ(t =, z(t =, L ψ(t y(t k (z =, k N, J k (z x(t and y(t are l- and m-dimensional vector-functions, and l + m = n.
