On periodic solutions of multivalued nonlinear evolution equations (Q1917982): Difference between revisions

Two existence theorems for periodic solutions of finite dimensional differential inclusions are given. It is proved that the differential inclusion \(x'(t) \in F(x(t))\), \(x(0) = x(r)\), defined on a closed convex bounded subset \(K\) of a finite dimensional Banach space admits a periodic solution. It is assumed that \(F\) is an upper semicontinuous set-valued map with compact convex values and \(F(x) \cap T_K (x) \neq \emptyset\) for all \(x \in K\). Using Galerkin approximations, this result is generalized to the evolution inclusion \(x'(t) + A(x(t)) \in F(x(t))\), \(x(0) = x(r)\), where \(A\) is a monotone operator.
