It is examined the solution set to the Cauchy problem \[ \dot{x}(t)\in F(t,x),\quad x(0)=x_{0},\quad\quad (1) \] with \(t\in I=[0,1], x\in E\), a Banach space with the uniformly convex dual space \(E^{*}, F:I\times E\to P(E)\), the set of all compact nonempty subsets of \(E\). The multifunction \(F\) is called Scorza Dragoni lower semicontinuous (LSC), if for every \(\varepsilon >0\) there exists an \(I_{\varepsilon}\subset I\) with \(meas(I\setminus I_{\varepsilon})\leq \varepsilon\) such that \(F:I_{\varepsilon}\times E\to P(E)\) is LSC. Here, \(meas\) is the Lebesgue measure. Let \(J(x) = \{x^{*}\in E^{*}:|x^{*}|=|x|, \langle x^{*},x\rangle =|x|^{2}\}\). When \(E^{*}\) is uniformly convex then \(J(\cdot)\) is single-valued. Let \(\sigma(l,A)=\sup_{a\in A}\langle l,a\rangle \), where \(A\subset E\), \(l\in E^{*}\). The multifunction \(F\) is said to be one-sided Lipschitz (OSL) when there exists a Kamke function \(u:I\times \mathbb{R}^{+}\to \mathbb{R}\) such that \(\sigma(J(x-y),F(t,x))- \sigma(J(x-y),F(t,y)) \leq u(t,|x-y|^{2})\) for every \(x,y\in E\). The multifunction \(F\) is said to be square integrably bounded on the bounded sets when for every bounded \(B\subset E\) there exists an \(L_{2}\)-function \(f(\cdot)\) such that \(|F(t,x(t))|\leq f(t)\) for every continuous function \(x:I\to B.\) The main result of the paper is the following theorem: Suppose \(F\) admits nonempty compact values and maps compact sets in precompacts. Let \(F\) be OSL, Scorza Dragoni LSC and square integrably bounded on the bounded sets. Then the solution set to (1) is nonempty, precompact and connected.
