Abstract
This paper is concerned with the impulsive Cauchy problem where the control function u is a possibly discontinuous vector-valued function with finite total variation. We assume that the vector fields f, $g_i$(i=1,…, m) are dependent on the time variable. The impulsive Cauchy problem is of the form x(t)=f(t,x) +$\SUMg_i(t,x)u_i(t)$, $t\in$[0,T], x(0)=$\in\; R^n$, where the vector fields f, $g_i$ : $\mathbb{R}\; \times\; \mathbb{R}\; \longrightarrow\; \mathbb(R)^n$ are measurable in t and Lipschitz continuous in x, If $g_i's$ satisfy a condition that $\SUM{\mid}g_i(t_2,x){\mid}{\leq}{\phi}$ $\forallt_1\; <\; t-2,x\; {\epsilon}\;\mathbb{R}^n$ for some increasing function $\phi$, then the imput-output function can be continuously extended to measurable functions of bounded variation.
