Existence theorems for hyperbolic differential inclusions in Banach algebras (Q2642110)

This article deals with the second-order hyperbolic differential inclusion \[ \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x \partial y}\biggl[\frac{u(x,y)}{f(x,y,u(x,y))}\biggr]\in G(x,y,u(x,y)) \;\text{a.e.} \;0 \leq x \leq a, \;0 \leq y \leq b, \] under boundary value conditions \[ u(x,0) = \varphi(x), \qquad u(0,y) = \psi(y) \] in the corresponding space of continuous functions. This problem is equivalent to the integral inclusion \[ u(x,y)\in[f(x,y,u(x,y))] \bigg(z_0(x,y)+\int_0^x\int_0^yG(s,t,u(s,t))\,ds\,dt\bigg), \] where \(z_0(x,y)\) is defined by \(\varphi(x)\) and \(\psi(y)\). Two cases are considered: the case when the map \(x \mapsto Ax \cdot Bx\) leaves invariant a ball and the case when this map leaves invariant an order interval \([\bar{x},\bar{y}]\). In both cases, the solvability of the integral inclusion is a direct corollary of the fixed point theorems for operators of type \(Ax\cdot Bx\) that were obtained by the author [\textit{B.\,C.\thinspace Dhage}, Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl.\ 64, No.\,6\thinspace (A), 1290--1306 (2006; Zbl 1105.34051) and Comput.\ Math.\ Appl.\ 53, No.\,5, 803--824 (2007; Zbl 1144.47041)].
