Boundary value problems for first order impulsive differential inclusions (Q1022541)

The author establishes the existence of a solution to the following impulsive first order differential inclusion: \[ x' + \lambda x \in F(t,x) \text{ a.e. }t \in [0,T]; \] with the impulses at fixed time \(t_1,\dots, t_m\), and the boundary condition \(x(0) = rx(T)\) for \(r \in \mathbb R\) fixed. The following cases are considered: (i) \(F\) satisfies an upper semi-continuity condition and has convex, compact values; (ii) \(F\) satisfies a lower semi-continuity condition and has compact values; (iii) \(F\) satisfies a Lipschitz condition and has compact values. In the first two cases, a suitable growth condition is imposed on \(F\) in order to get an a priori bound on the solutions.
