Anti-periodic solutions to a class of nonlinear differential equations in Hilbert space (Q1178632)

The boundary value problem \(-au''(t)+bu'(t)+\partial\varphi(u(t))- \partial\psi(u(t))\ni f(t)\), a.e. \(f\in R\), \(u(t+T)=-u(t)\), in a real Hilbert space \(H\) is considered. Here \(a\geq 0\), \(b\neq 0\), \(T>0\), \(f\in L^ 2_{loc}(R;H)\) satisfies \(f(t+T)=-f(t)\) a.e. \(t\in R\), \(\varphi\) and \(\psi\) are convex, even functionals on \(H\) and ``\(\partial\)'' stands for subdifferential. The existence of solution of this problem is studied by the methods of the theory of multi-valued monotone operators. The applications of the achieved results to nonlinear partial differential equations are discussed.
