Asymptotic boundary value problems in Banach spaces (Q1856863)

The authors study boundary value problems on arbitrary (possible infinite) intervals for differential inclusions in Banach spaces. The main tool for studying the corresponding operator equations is a new notion of fixed-point index for condensing decomposable mutivalued operators in Fréchet spaces; this new index extends and unifies the one for compact maps due to the first author, \textit{G. Gabor} and \textit{L. Górniewicz} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 351, 4861-4903 (1999; Zbl 0936.34023)] as well as the one for operators in Banach spaces given by the second author [Ph.D. Thesis, München: Univ. München, Fak. Math. (1995; Zbl 0865.47049)]. The authors apply the index to the proof of solvability for the boundary value problem \[ y'(t)\in F \bigl(t,y(t)\bigr) \text{ for a.e. }t\in I,\;y\in S, \] with quasilinear Carathéodory map \(F:I\times E\to E\) and \(S\in\text{AC}_{\text{loc}} (I,E)\) and to the proof of the existence of a bounded solution to the semilinear differential inclusion \[ x'(t)\in A(t) x(t)+F\bigl(t,x(t) \bigr)\text{ for a.e. }t\in \mathbb{R}, \] with a strongly measurable and locally Bochner integrable \(A: \mathbb{R} \to L(E)\) such that \(x'(t)=A(t)x(t)\) admits a regular exponential dichotomy and a Carathéodory set-valued map \(F:\mathbb{R}\times E\to E\) satisfying the standard conditions guaranteeing the condensity of the corresponding multivalued integral operator.
