Impulsive Differential Inclusions ― A Fixed Point Approach

Mathematicians Graef (U. of Tennessee-Chattanooga), Henderson (Baylor U.), and Ouahab (Sidi-Bel-Abbes U., Algeria) explore differential equations that account for abrupt changes, such as shocks, harvesting, and natural disasters that produce short-term perturbations from continuous and smooth dynamics, but whose duration is negligible compared with the entire evolution. Such impulsive differential equations have been developed for physics, population dynamics, ecology, industrial robotics, and other fields. The topics include functional differential equations with infinite delay, boundary value problems on infinite intervals, differential inclusions, neutral differential inclusions, and the topology and geometry of solution sets.
