Differential inclusions in Banach spaces (Q1086722): Difference between revisions

Let F be a multifunction from an open set \(\Omega\subset {\mathbb{R}}\times E\) (E a Banach space) to the space \({\mathcal K}_ c(E)\) of all nonempty bounded closed subsets of E, endowed with the Pompeiu-Hausdorff metric. In this paper, the authors establish the existence of solutions for the Cauchy problem \(\dot x\in F(t,x)\), \(x(t_ 0)=x_ 0\) under hypotheses on F that exclude compactness entirely. In fact, they suppose that for each (t,x)\(\in \Omega\), the closed convex hull of F(t,x) has a nonempty interior. If, in addition, the multifunction \(F: \Omega \to {\mathcal K}_ c(E)\) is continuous and the Banach space E is reflexive and separable, then they prove that the above Cauchy problem has solutions.
