Multi-valued perturbation to evolution problems involving time dependent maximal monotone operators (Q2303855)

The authors study the existence of solutions for the evolution inclusion with both a multi-valued perturbation term and a single-valued perturbation term \[ -\frac{du}{dr}(t)\in A(t)u(t)+F\left( t,u(t)\right) +f\left( t,u(t)\right) \quad \text{a.e. for }t\in I\equiv\left[ 0,T\right] \] \[ u(0)=u_{0}\in D\left( A(0)\right) \] in a separable Hilbert space \(H\), where for each \(t\in I\), \(A(t):D(A(t))\rightarrow2^{H}\) is a maximal monotone operator, \(r:I\rightarrow \left[ 0,\infty\right) \) is continuous and nondecreasing such that \(\mathrm{dis}\left( A(t),A(s)\right) \leq r(t)-r(s)\) for \(0\leq s\leq t\leq T\) (where dis represents the pseudo-distance between maximal monotone operators in the sense of Vladimirov), \(F:I\times H\rightarrow2^{H}\) is scalarly measurable on \(I\times H\) and scalarly upper semicontinuous on \(H\) with convex and weakly compact values, and \(f:I\times H\rightarrow H\) is measurable on \(I\), Lipschitz on \(H\) and satisfies a growth condition. Under these assumptions, the existence of a continuous solution of bounded variation is proven. By varying the assumptions on \(A\), theorems are proven which guarantee the existence of a Lipschitz solution and an absolutely continuous solution. The proofs build on the ideas in [\textit{D. Azzam-Laouir} et al., J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 21, No. 2, Paper No. 40, 32 p. (2019; Zbl 1418.34122)] and [\textit{D. Azzam-Laouir} et al., Set-Valued Var. Anal. 26, No. 3, 693--728 (2018; Zbl 1403.34046)]. In the last section, these results are applied to the existence of solutions for second-order evolution inclusions among other applications.
