Random topological degree and random differential inclusions (Q388651)

The authors define a random topological degree for a class of random multivalued operators. As an application, they obtain random versions of Borsuk is antipodal theorem and Schauder fixed point theorem. Then they study the Cauchy problem for a random differential inclusion and give two proofs of the existence of random solutions. The first one is based on the random Schauder theorem. The second proof uses the fact that the existence of deterministic solutions for each value of the random parameter implies the existence of random solutions via the measurable selection theorem. Next the authors study a periodic problem for random differential inclusions. They introduce a random Poincaré operator, and using the theory of random topological degree, they prove the solvability of this problem. Finally, they formulate a randomization scheme, which allows to obtain existence results for random periodic problems from the corresponding deterministic results.
