In this paper, we are interested in investigating notions of stability for generalized linear differential equations (GLDEs). Initially, we propose and revisit several definitions of stability and provide a complete characterization of them in terms of upper bounds and asymptotic behaviour of the transition matrix. In addition, we illustrate our stability results for GLDEs to linear periodic systems and linear impulsive differential equations. Finally, we prove that the well-known definitions of uniform asymptotic stability and variational asymptotic stability are equivalent to the global uniform exponential stability introduced in this article.

Sufficient conditions are obtained for the oscillation of a general form of a linear second-order differential equation with discontinuous solutions. The innovations are that the impulse effects are in mixed form and the results obtained are applicable even if the impulses are small. The novelty of the results is demonstrated by presenting an example of an oscillating equation to which previous oscillation theorems fail to apply.

In this paper we apply fixed point results in ordered spaces to derive existence and comparison results for discontinuous functional integral equations of Volterra type in ordered Banach spaces. The results obtained are then applied to first order impulsive differential equations.

In this paper, extending the results in [ 1 ], we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for oscillation in a large class of singular (i.e., the difference operator is nonatomic) neutral equations.
