Optimal Solutions for a Class of Impulsive Differential Problems with Feedback Controls and Volterra-Type Distributed Delay: A Topological Approach

In this paper, the existence of optimal solutions for problems governed by differential equations involving feedback controls is established, when the problem must account for a Volterra-type distributed delay and is subject to the action of impulsive external forces. The problem is reformulated within the class of impulsive semilinear integro-differential inclusions in Banach spaces and is studied using topological methods and multivalued analysis. The paper concludes with an application to a population dynamics model.
