On the Floquet problem for second-order Marchaud differential systems (Q2518304)

The authors establish the existence of solutions for the following Floquet multivalued problem \[ x''(t)+Ax'(t)+B(t)x(t)\in F(t,x(t),x'(t))+, \;a.e. \;t\in [0,T], \] \[ x(T)=Mx(0),\;x'(T)=Nx'(0), \] where \(A,B: [0,T]\to(\mathbb R^n,\mathbb R^n)\) are continuous matrix functions, \(M\) and \(N\) are \(n\times n\) matrices, \(M\) is nonsingular, \(F:[0,T]\times\mathbb R^n\times\mathbb R^n\to {\mathcal P}(\mathbb R^n)\) is an upper semicontinuous multivalued mapping with nonempty, compact, convex values and \({\mathcal P}(E)\) is the family of all nonempty subsets of \(\mathbb R^n.\) The proofs of the main results are based upon the fixed point index. Also the authors prove that the solution of the problem above is included in some retract set of \(\mathbb R^n.\) Some examples are presented.
