Differential inclusions on proximate retracts of separable Hilbert spaces (Q2477852)

The paper concerns the existence of viable solutions to differential inclusions in Hilbert spaces. In particular, if \(H\) is a separable Hilbert space and \(K \subset H\) is a proximate retract, the existence of solutions \(y: [0,T] \to K \subset H\) (called viable solutions) to the problem \[ \begin{cases} y'(t)\in \Phi(t,y(t)) & \text{ a.e. } t\in [0,T], \\ y(0)=y_0\in K, \end{cases} \] is proved under suitable assumptions. Here, \(T>0\) is fixed and \(\Phi\) is a multifunction defined on \([0,T]\times K\) with values in \(H\). The results obtained rely on the existence of maximal solutions for an appropriate differential equation in the real case.
