Functions of bounded variations form important transition between absolute continuous and singular functions. With Bainov’s introduction of impulsive differential equations having solutions of bounded variation, this class of functions had eventually entered into the theory of differential equations. However, the determination of existence of solutions is still problematic because the solutions of differential equations is usually at least absolute continuous which is disrupted by the solutions of bounded variations. As it is known, if f:[a,bλ]→Rn is of bounded variation then f is the sum of an absolute continuous function fa and a singular function fs where the total variation of fs generates a singular measure τ and fs is absolute continuous with respect to τ. In this paper we prove that a function of bounded variation f has two representations: one is f which was described with an absolute continuous part with respect to the Lebesgue measure λ, while in the other an integral with respect to τ forms the absolute continuous part and t(τ) defines the singular measure. Both representations are obtained as parameter transformation images of an absolute continuous function on total variation domain [a,bν].
In this paper, Cubic B-Spline collocation method (CBSCM) and Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) are applied to obtain numerical solutions to fourth-order linear and nonlinear differential equations. The CBSCM was based on finite element method involving collocation method with cubic B-spline as a basis function. While ADM was based on multistage decomposition method. We discovered in the illustrative examples considered, that result by ADM were compatible with the closed form solutions well over twenty, in some cases over thirty, decimal places and with extremely minimal absolute errors. Results by CBSCM gave correct solutions to atmost six decimal places with sizeable absolute errors. These has further revealed the importance and superiority of ADM over CBSCM in providing semi-analytic solution to this class of differential equations.
Research in impulsive delay differential equations has been undergoing some exciting growth in recent times. This to a large extent can be attributed to the quest by mathematicians in particular and the science community as a whole to unveil nature the way it truly is. The realization that differential equations, in general, and indeed impulsive delay differential equations are very important models for describing the true state of several real-life processes/phenomena may have been the tunic. One can attest that in most human processes or natural phenomena, the present state is most often affected significantly by their past state and those that were thought of as continuous may indeed undergo abrupt change at several points or even be stochastic. In this study, a special strictly ascending continuous delay is constructed for a class of system of impulsive differential equations. It is demonstrated that even though the dynamics of the system and the delay have ideal continuity properties, the right side may not even have limits at some points due to the impact of past impulses in the present. The integral equivalence of the formulated system of equations is also obtained via a scheme similar to that of Perron by making use of certain assumptions.
