Two-point b.v.p. for multivalued equations with weakly regular r.h.s. (Q540251)

The authors study existence of solutions for the semilinear multivalued evolution equation with two-point boundary condition \[ x' \in A(t,x)x+F(t,x),\qquad Mx(a)+Nx(b)=0 \] in a reflexive, separable Banach space \(E\). \(A(t,x)\) is assumed to be in \(\mathcal L(E)\) (the space of bounded linear operators from \(E\) into itself); \(A\) is integrably bounded on bounded sets; \(A(\cdot ,x)\) is measurable for almost all \(x\in E\); \(A(t,\cdot )\) is continuous for all \(t\in [ a,b]\); \(F\) is nonempty, bounded, closed and convex valued, and globally measurable; \(F(t,\cdot )\) is weakly upper semicontinuous for almost all \(t\in [ a,b]\); \(M\), \(N\in \mathcal L(E)\) and \(M\), \(N\neq 0\). Theorem 4.1 proves existence under a certain growth assumption. Theorem 4.2/Corollary 4.2 weakens the growth condition which makes proving the ``pushing condition'' more difficult and so requires the existence of a Lyapunov-like function and a compactness assumption on \(F\). The proof uses ideas from [\textit{I. Benedetti, L. Malaguti} and \textit{V. Taddei}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 368, No.~1, 90--102 (2010; Zbl 1198.34109); \textit{J. Andres} and \textit{L. Górniewicz}, Topological fixed point principles for boundary value problems. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers (2003; Zbl 1029.55002)]. Examples are given of nontrivial applications of Theorems 4.1 and 4.2 to problems involving partial differential inclusions.
