In this note, we study a new class of ordinary differential equations with non-instantaneous impulses. Both existence and generalized Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability results are established. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our theoretical results.

Microwave heating has been widely used in various fields during recent years. However, it also has a common problem of uneven heating. In this paper, optimal frequency control problem for microwave heating process is considered. The cost function is defined such that the temperature profile at the final stage has a relative uniform distribution in the field. The controlled system is a coupled by Maxwell equations with nonlinear heating equation. The existence of a weak solution for coupled system is proved. The weak continuity of the solution operator is also shown. Moreover, the existence of a global minimizer of the optimal frequency control problems is proved.

Summary This article investigates the finite‐time consensus control for stochastic multi‐agent systems (SMASs) by using adaptive techniques. First, we propose a finite‐time adaptive consensus protocol for SMASs with node‐based adaptive law design method. Second, a finite‐time adaptive consensus protocol is also proposed for SMASs by adding a dynamical scaling parameter to the weights on the edges of the communication graph. Finally, two simulation examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the two consensus protocols.
