The authors consider the multivalued Cauchy problem \[ -x'(t)\in Ax(t)+F(t,x(t)),\;\text{a.e. on} \;[ 0,b ],\quad x(0)=\xi, \] where \(A:D(A)\subseteq \mathbb{R}^{\mathbb N}\to 2^{\mathbb{R}^{N}}\) is a maximal monotone operator and \(F:[ 0,b ]\times \mathbb{R}^{\mathbb N}\to 2^{\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb N}}\setminus\{\emptyset\}\). Under suitable hypotheses, they prove that the multivalued mapping \(\xi\mapsto S(\xi)\), where \(S(\xi)\) is the solution set to the system above, has a continuous selector passing from a prescribed point and then, they show that, for each \(\xi\in \overline{D(A)}\), the solution set \(S(\xi)\) is path-connected. They also prove that \(\xi\mapsto S(\xi)\) is u.s.c. The paper ends with a viability result and an application to the existence of periodic solutions.
