Multiple anti-periodic solutions of implicit differential inclusions on tori (Q2217296)

The author proves the existence of multiple (at least \(2^{n}\)) anti-periodic (mod 1) solutions with anti-period \(\omega\) of the implicit differential inclusion \[ x^{\prime}\in\varphi\left( t,x,x^{\prime}\right) \] in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) subject to \(\varphi\left( t,x,y\right) =-\varphi\left(t+\omega,-x,-y\right) \) for all \(\left( t,x,y\right) \in\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}^{n}\) and periodic boundary conditions with period 1. It is assumed that \(\varphi\) is compact acyclic and for each \(\left(t,x\right)\in\left[0,\omega\right] \times\mathbb{R}^{n}\), the topogical dimension of the fixed points of \(\varphi\left(t,x,\cdot\right)\) is zero. The proof makes use of essential fixed points (introduced in [\textit{M. K. Ford jun.}, ``Essential and nonessential fixed points'', Am. J. Math. 72, 315--322 (1950)]) and a result due to \textit{A. Bressan} [in: World congress of nonlinear analysts '92. Proceedings of the first world congress, Tampa, FL, USA, August 19-26, 1992. 4 volumes. Berlin: de Gruyter. 2081--2088 (1996; Zbl 0866.49007)]. This theorem generalizes two of the author's earlier results.
