On the asymptotic behavior of nonlinear systems with impulses

In the paper, we present results on the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the nonlinear second order system
(g(x'))'+ f(x) = 0,     (t =/= tn);

g(x'(tn + 0)) = bn h ( g(x'(tn))),        ( tn \nearrow \infty, as n --> \infty),
where f, g, h in C, and uf(u) > 0 and ug(u) > 0 for u =/= 0. In the special case f(u) = g(u) = |u\alpha|  sign  u   (0 < \alpha) and h(u) = u, the system is called half-linear, which exhibits similar behavior to the linear case. The analogous half-linear differential equation with intermittent damping
(f(x'))'+ a(t)x'+ f(x) = 0,
has been investigated by many authors.
