On a theorem of R. H. Martin on certain Cauchy problems for ordinary differential equations (Q1066333)

In J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 10, 61-65 (1975; Zbl 0305.34092), \textit{R. H. Martin} showed a result concerning the Cauchy problem \(x=B(t,x)+C(t,x)\), \(x(0)=x_ 0\), where B and C are two suitable functions defined on [0,1]\(\times X\), X a closed and convex subset of a Banach space F, with B satisfying an assumption of dissipative type and C an assumption of compactness of the range. In the present note the author improves Martin's theorem assuming that C verifies the following assumption: there is a Lebesgue measurable subset J of [0,1] such that \(m(J)=0\) and C(t,X) is relatively compact for any \(t\in [0,1]\setminus J\). The assumption on B remains the same. Moreover it could be observed that Martin supposed that C is uniformly continuous on [0,1]\(\times X\) and the present author also improves this assumption by supposing that for any \(\epsilon >0\) there is a Lebesgue measurable subset \(I_{\epsilon}\) of [0,1] with Lebesgue measure \(m(I_{\epsilon})<\epsilon\) so that C is uniformly continuous on \(([0,1]\setminus I_{\epsilon})\times X\).
