Existence of solutions for second-order dynamic inclusions (Q2429740)

Consider the second-order dynamic inclusion \[ (p(t)y^{\Delta }(t))^{\Delta}\in F(t,y^{\sigma }(t)),\quad t\in [a,b]_{\mathbb T}\tag{1} \] with the boundary conditions \[ y(a)=y(\sigma (b))=0,\tag{2} \] where \(\mathbb T\) is a time scale, \(a,b\in \mathbb T\) with \(a<b\), \([a,b]_{\mathbb T}=[a,b]\cap \mathbb T\) and \(p:[a,b]_{\mathbb T}\to \mathbb R\) is a given function. The multifunction \(F:[a,b]_{\mathbb T}\times \mathbb R\to {\mathcal P}(\mathbb R)\) is assumed to be upper semicontinuous in the second variable and to have nonempty closed convex values. Under certain technical hypotheses, several existence results for problem (1)--(2) are provided. These results are obtained by using the method of lower and upper solutions.
