Reformulations of measure differential inclusions and their closed graph property (Q5946978)

Here, the author gives new formulations for measure differential inclusions, in fact this notion is here extended to inclusions of the form \(\frac{dv}{dt}(t) \in K(t) \subset \mathbb{R}^n\), where \(t \mapsto K(t)\) is a closed convex set-valued function with closed graph and satisfying some technical assumptions. Note that \(K(.)\) is not necessarily a cone-valued function as was considered before in literature. For the author \(v(.)\) is a function of bounded variation not necessarily absolutely continuous or even continuous; so \(dv\) is understood as being a vector Borel measure induced by the Riemann-Stieltje integrals \(\int{\Phi(t)dv(t)}\) for continuous \(\Phi\). Using an alternative formulation of the measure differential inclusions, called weak formulation (which is equivalent to the previous formulation under the technical assumptions mentioned), the author shows that the graph of the solution operator is closed under pointwise convergence of the solutions \(v(.)\) and weak* convergence of the differential measures \(dv\). In the last part, the equivalence is proved between the formulation of measure differential inclusions, considered by the author, and the formulation for cone-valued \(K(.)\).
