Applications of interval analysis to minimal and maximal solutions of differential equations (Q2277777)

Based on the definition of an interval integral operator, criteria are derived which guarantee the existence of an interval function \(U(t)=[\underline{U}(t),\bar U(t)]\) such that \(\underline{U}(t)\), \(\bar U(t)\) are extremal solutions for a given initial value problem or a given boundary value problem. Discontinuities of the right-hand side in the differential equation \(u'=f(t,u)\) are as well allowed as periodic boundary conditions.
