Extremal selections of multifunctions generating a continuous flow

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let F:[0,T]imesRnmapsto2Rn be a continuous multifunction with compact, not necessarily convex values. In this paper, we prove that, if F satisfies the following Lipschitz Selection Property: �egin{itemize} item[{(LSP)}] {sl For every t,x, every yinoverlinecoF(t,x) and varepsilon>0, there exists a Lipschitz selection phi of overlinecoF, defined on a neighborhood of (t,x), with |phi(t,x)−y|<varepsilon.} end{itemize} then there exists a measurable selection f of extF such that, for every x0, the Cauchy problem dot x(t)=f(t,x(t)),qquadqquad x(0)=x_0 has a unique Caratheodory solution, depending continuously on x0. We remark that every Lipschitz multifunction with compact values satisfies (LSP). Another interesting class, for which (LSP) holds, consists of those continuous multifunctions F whose values are compact and have convex closure with nonempty interior.
