The theory of impulsive di®erential equations has become an important area of research in recent years. Linear equations, meanwhile, are fundamental in most branches of applied mathematics, science, and technology. The theory of higher order linear impulsive equations, however, has not been studied as much as the cor- responding theory of ordinary di®erential equations. In this work, higher order linear impulsive equations at xed moments of impulses together with certain boundary conditions are investigated by making use of a Green's formula, constructed for piecewise di®erentiable functions. Existence and uniqueness of solutions of such boundary value problems are also addressed. Properties of Green's functions for higher order impulsive boundary value prob- lems are introduced, showing a striking di®erence when compared to classical bound- ary value problems of ordinary di®erential equations. Necessarily, instead of an or- dinary Green's function there corresponds a sequence of Green's functions due to impulses. Finally, as a by-product of boundary value problems, eigenvalue problems for higher order linear impulsive di®erential equations are studied. The conditions for the existence of eigenvalues of linear impulsive operators are presented. Basic properties of eigensolutions of self-adjoint operators are also investigated. In particular, a necessary and su±cient condition for the self-adjointness of Sturm-Liouville opera- tors is given. The corresponding integral equations for boundary value and eigenvalue problems are also demonstrated in the present work.

Oscillation of second order matrix equations on time scales Selçuk, Aysun; Ağacık, Zafer; Department of Mathematics (2004) The theory of time scales is introduced by Stefan Hilger in his PhD thesis in 1998 in order to unify continuous and discrete analysis. In our thesis, by making use of the time scale calculus we study the oscillation of nonlinear matrix differential equations of second order. the first chapter is introductory in nature and contains some basic definitions and tools of the time scales calculus, while certain well-known results have been presented with regard to oscillation of the solutions of second order matr...
Oscillation of second order dynamic equations on time scales Kütahyalıoğlu, Ayşen; Ağacık, Zafer; Department of Mathematics (2004) During the last decade, the use of time scales as a means of unifying and extending results about various types of dynamic equations has proven to be both prolific and fruitful. Many classical results from the theories of differential and difference equations have time scale analogues. In this thesis we derive new oscillation criteria for second order dynamic equations on time scales.
Energy bounds for some nonstandard problems in partial differential equations Özer, Özge; Çelebi, Okay; Department of Mathematics (2005) This thesis is a survey of the studies of Ames,Payne and Schaefer about the partial differential equations with nonstandard auxiliary conditions; this is where the values of the solution are prescribed as a combination of initial time t=0 and at a later time t=T. The first chaper is introductory and contains some historical background of the problem,basic definitions and theorems.In Chapter 2 energy bounds and pointwise bounds for the solutions of the nonstandard hyperbolic problems have been investigated a...
Sturm comparison theory for impulsive differential equations Özbekler, Abdullah; Ağacık, Zafer; Department of Mathematics (2005) In this thesis, we investigate Sturmian comparison theory and oscillation for second order impulsive differential equations with fixed moments of impulse actions. It is shown that impulse actions may greatly alter the oscillation behavior of solutions. In chapter two, besides Sturmian type comparison results, we give Leightonian type comparison theorems and obtain Wirtinger type inequalities for linear, half-linear and non-selfadjoint equations. We present analogous results for forced super linear and super...
Inverse problems for a semilinear heat equation with memory Kaya, Müjdat; Çelebi, Okay; Department of Mathematics (2005) In this thesis, we study the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the inverse problems to identify the memory kernel k and the source term h, derived from First, we obtain the structural stability for k, when p=1 and the coefficient p, when g( )= . To identify the memory kernel, we find an operator equation after employing the half Fourier transformation. For the source term identification, we make use of the direct application of the final overdetermination conditions.
