Trajectories of differential inclusions on Riemannian manifolds and invariance (Q2416624)

The paper extends the classical differential inclusions in Banach spaces to study the differential inclusions on Riemannian manifolds which does not possess a linear structure in general. First some topological properties such as the non-emptiness and compactness of the reachable set are obtained under the linear growth condition by using numerical Euler solution which is similar to the case of ordinary differential equations. Then a characterization for the invariance of solutions with respect to a closed set is provided. The obtained results are used to study the control affine systems on Riemannian manifolds where the vectors fields are continuous or locally Lipschitz.
