1. Introduction
Impulsive differential equations are one of the interesting topics in the theory of differential equations. These equations serve as basic models to study the dynamics of processes that are subject to sudden changes in their states. These types of problems are especially encountered in heat and mass transfer problems ([17]). There are many studies on this subject in the literature [2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 19, 23].
W. Hahn introduced the concept of the Hahn derivative to the literature in 1949 [10]. With this definition he made, he gathered two important operators under a single structure. These are the q-difference and forward difference operators. In 2018, Annaby et al. [4] using this definition instead of the classical derivative, investigated the fundamental properties of the Sturm–Liouville problems. In [5], the authors studied singular q-Sturm-Liouville equations. In [18], the author studied a q-analog of the singular Dirac problem. Recently in [21], the author proved a spectral expansion theorem by constructing the spectral function of the Hahn–Sturm–Liouville equation in the singular case under impulsive conditions.
In this paper, our aim is to consider Hahn–Sturm–Liouville problems under impulsive boundary conditions. The integral representation of the resolvent operator corresponding to this type of problem will be obtained using Weyl’s method [16, 22, 24].
2. Preliminaries
Now, we provide a concise overview of the Hahn calculus [3, 4, 10, 11]. Let q ∈ (0, 1), ω0 := ω/ (1 − q) , ω > 0, and let Ψ : J ⊂ ℝ ω ℝ be a function such that ω0 ∈ J.
Definition 2.1 ([10], [11]).
The Hahn derivative Dω,q Ψ is defined by
where the expression Ψ′ (ω0) shows the ordinary derivative of Ψ at ω0.Definition 2.2 ([3]).
Let a, b, ω0 ∈ J. The Hahn integral (ω, q-integral) is defined by
where provided that the series converges at ζ = a and ζ = b.3. Main results
Let us consider the following impulsive boundary-value problem (BVP)
where q ∈ (0, 1), ω0 := ω/ (1 − q), ω > 0, γ, β ∈ ℝ, , n ∈ ℕ := {1, 2, 3, . . .}, η > 0, λ ∈ ℂ, y(d±) := limζd± y (ζ) , v is a real-valued continuous function on [ω0, d) ∪ (d, ∞), and has finite limits v(d±).A similar problem has been studied by the authors without impulsive boundary conditions ([1]).
, , is a Hilbert space endowed with the following inner product
where andLet
and be solutions of Eq. (3.1) satisfying the following conditions andThen the solution of Eq. (3.1) be represented
which satisfies the boundary condition HenceProof
It is immediate that
where Z(·, λ) ∈ H and m(λ) is the Titchmarsh–Weyl function. varies on a circle with a finite radius in the plane. In the limit-circle case, ; thereforeHence
due to Z(·, λ) ∈ H. In the limit-point case, we find where Im λ ≠ 0. As , . Moreover, we have which implies thatLet . Define
Without loss of generality, we can assume that λ = 0 is not an eigenvalue of the BVP (3.1)–(3.5). Now let us prove that the resolvent operator is compact.
Theorem 3.4.
Let 𝒯 be the ω, q-integral operator 𝒯: Hn → Hn ( ),
whereThen 𝒯 is a compact self-adjoint operator in space Hn.
Proof
Let
be a complete, orthonormal basis of Hn. Let i, k, n ∈ ℕ, . Write Hn is mapped isometrically on to l2. By this mapping, 𝒯 transforms into the operator A defined by (3.8) in l2 and (3.7) is translated into (3.9). By Theorems 3.2 and 3.3, we see that A and 𝒯 are compact operators.Let h, g ∈ Hn and , n ∈ ℕ. Then we have
since is a symmetric function.From Theorem 3.4, we conclude that 𝒯 has a discrete spectrum. Let and
be the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the BVP (3.1)–(3.5) andBy Theorem 3.4 and the Hilbert–Schmidt theorem, we infer that
Define
Then, (3.10) can be written as whereProof
Let sin β ≠ 0. Since θ(ζ, λ) is continuous in domain −S ≤ λ ≤ S, , and the condition θ(1)(ω0, λ) = sin β, there exists a positive number h such that for |λ| < S,
Let
From (3.12), we find
If sin β = 0, then we define fh(ζ) as
This proves the lemma.
Now, we will give an expansion into a Fourier series of resolvent. By ω, q-integration by parts, we obtain
where m ∈ ℕ. Let where m ∈ ℕ. Since y(ζ, λ) satisfies the equation we findThus, we get
andHence
Proof
Writing
yields due to the eigenfunctions are orthogonal. Combining (3.15) and (3.10), we see thatBy Lemma 3.1, the integral on the left converges and the result is immediate.
It follows from Lemma 8 that the set is bounded. Using Helly’s theorems ([15]), one can find a sequence {1/qnk} such that converges to a monotone function ϱ(λ) (as nk → ∞).
Proof
For arbitrary η > 0, it follows from (3.14) that
Letting η → ∞ and n → ∞, we get the desired result.
Proof
Combining (3.13) and (3.10), for each , n ∈ ℕ, we obtain
Letting n → ∞, we get the desired result.
Theorem 3.10 (Integral Representation of the Resolvent).
For every non-real z and for each f ∈ H, we obtain
whereProof
Suppose that f(ζ) = fσ(ζ) satisfies (3.2)–(3.4) and vanishes outside the set [ω0, d) ∪ (d, σ], where , n ∈ ℕ. Let
By (3.13), we see that
Firstly, we will estimate I1. From (3.13), we deduce that
Integrating twice by parts, we find
By Lemma 3.6, we get
Using Bessel inequality, we see thatIt is proved similarly that . Then I1 and I3 tend to zero as a → ∞, uniformly in . It follows from the Helly selection theorem and (3.17) that
As is known, if f(·) ∈ H, then we find a sequence that satisfies the previous conditions and tends to f(ζ) as σ → ∞. From (3.10), the sequence of Fourier transform converges to the transform of f(ζ). Using Lemmas 3.7 and 3.9, we can pass to the limit σ → ∞ in (3.18). Thus, we get the desired result.
