On general fractional differential inclusions with nonlocal integral boundary conditions (Q2172971)

In this paper, the authors investigate the existence of solutions for the following nonlocal integral boundary value problem of Caputo type fractional differential inclusions: \[ \begin{cases} ^{c}D_{t_0}^{r}x(t)\in F(t,x(t),\quad t\in J=[t_0,T],\quad n-1<r<n,\\ x^{(k)}(t)=x_{k}+\int_{t_0}^{\delta}g_{k}(s,x(s)ds,\quad k=1,\dots,r,\quad \delta\in(t_0,T), \end{cases} \] where $F:J\times \mathbb{R}\to \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R})$ is a multivalued map, $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R})$ is the family of all nonempty subsets of $\mathbb{R}$, and $g_{k}:J\times \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ is a given continuous function. Under suitable assumptions, the authors obtain some existence results for the above inclusion problem involving convex as well as nonconvex multivalued maps. These results are based on the nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type, a selection theorem due to \textit{A. Bressan} and \textit{G. Colombo} [Stud. Math. 90, No. 1, 69--86 (1988; Zbl 0677.54013)], and a fixed point theorem due to \textit{H. Covitz} and \textit{S. B. Nadler jun.} [Isr. J. Math. 8, 5--11 (1970; Zbl 0192.59802)].
