Periodic solutions of functional differential inclusions and fixed points of \(\sigma\)-selectionable correspondences (Q793895): Difference between revisions

The main goal of the paper is to give sufficient conditions ensuring the existence of periodic solutions in the case of functional differential inclusions with memory (i.e., \((dx/dt)(t)\in \Gamma [t,x(t+\theta)]\) for any \(\theta \in J_ r\), \(x\in C(J_{r,T})\) and absolutely continuous, \(T>0\), \(J_{r,t}=J_ r\cup [0,t], J_ r=[-r,0]\) if \(0\leq r<\infty\) or \(J_ r=]-r,0]\) if \(0<r\leq \infty\), \(\Gamma\) is a given correspondence from a nonempty set \(\Omega\) of \({\mathbb{R}}\times C_ r\), \(C_ r=C(J_ r,{\mathbb{R}}^ p)\), into \({\mathbb{R}}^ p)\). Such existence properties will be closely related to the existence of a fixed point for a correspondence (i.e., a set-valued mapping) depending on the initial value problem associated with the considered functional differential inclusion.
