Solutions of nonlinear evolution inclusions (Q2577144)

The authors consider the nonlinear evolution inclusion \[ \frac{du} {dt}+B\bigl( t,u(t)\bigr)\ni f(t),\quad t\in[0,T]\quad u(0)=u_0,\tag{1} \] in a real reflexive Banach space \(V\) with dual \(V^*\), in which \(B:[0,T]\times V \to V^*\) is measurable and nonempty closed convex set-valued and \(f\in L^q(V^*)\). After overviewing several results in the literature, the authors state their goal of proving existence of solutions for (1) in which \(B\) is not assumed to be pseudo-monotone. Such a result is proven under the assumption that \(B\) is of type \((M)\) and another in which \(B\) is of type \((S_+)\) and demi-continuous, where the definitions of operators of type \((M)\) and \((S_+)\) are given in the introduction. The authors also prove existence for the perturbed problem \[ \frac{du}{dt}+B\bigl(t,u(t) \bigr) +G\bigl(t,u(t)\bigr)\ni f(t),\;t\in[0,T]\quad u(0)=u_0, \] for a Lipschitz set-valued perturbation \(G\), and show that if \(G\) is single-valued and continuous, the solution is unique. An application of the results is also given.
