Consider the multivalued Cauchy problem \[ x'(t)\in F\bigl(t, x(t) \bigr), \quad x(0)=x_0, \tag{*} \] with \(F:\mathbb{R}^+ \times X\to CV(X)\), and \(F\) is upper semi-continuous in \(X\) \((X\) is a Banach space), if for every \(x_0\) in \(X\) and every open set \(G\subset Y\) with \(Fx_0\subset G\) there exists a neighborhood \(U\) of \(x_0\) such that \(Fx\subset G\) for all \(x\in U\). Moreover, \(F\) is bounding. The authors prove the main theorem: If for all \((t,x,y) \in \mathbb{R}^+ \times X\times X\), \(\langle F(t,x)- F(t,y)\), \(x-y \rangle_-\leq 0\), then the Cauchy problem (*) has a unique solution defined on \(\mathbb{R}^+\).
