Dirichlet problem in Banach spaces: the bound sets approach (Q2436193)

By using topological methods, the continuation principle and the bounding function method, the authors consider the existence of solutions to Dirichlet boundary value problems of the form: \[ \begin{cases} x''(t)\in F(t,x(t),x'(t)),\\ x(0)=x(T)=0, \end{cases} \] where \(F: [0,T]\times E\times E \multimap E\) is an upper Carathéodory mapping with compact, convex values while \(E\) is a Banach space having the Radon-Nikodym property. The results given in the paper are new and interesting.
