Study of Solutions to Some Functional Differential Equations with Piecewise Constant Arguments

We provide optimal conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a nonlocal boundary value problem for a class of linear homogeneous second-order functional differential equations with piecewise constant arguments. The nonlocal boundary conditions include terms of the state function an...
