# Boundedness of solutions for a class of impact oscillators with time-denpendent polynomial potentials

• In this paper, we consider the boundedness of solutions for a class of impact oscillators with time dependent polynomial potentials, \begin{eqnarray} \ddot{x}+x^{2n+1}+\sum_{i=0}^{2n}p_{i}(t)x^{i}=0, \quad for\ x(t)> 0,\\ x(t)\geq 0,\\ \dot{x}(t_{0}^{+})=-\dot{x}(t_{0}^{-}), \quad if\ x(t_{0})=0, \end{eqnarray} where $n\in N^+$, $p_i(t+1)=p_i(t)$ and $p_i(t)\in C^5(R/Z).$
