### VARIATIONAL METHODS TO MIXED BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR IMPULSIVE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH A PARAMETER

Yu Tian, Jun Wang, and Weigao Ge

#### Abstract

In this paper, we study mixed boundary value problem for secondorder impulsive differential equations with a parameter. By using critical point theory, several new existence results are obtained. This is one of the first times that impulsive boundary value problems are studied by means of variational methods.
