Viability for upper semicontinuous differential inclusions without convexity (Q5905554)

The author proves the existence of a viable solution \(x(t)\in K\) on \([0,T]\) or \([0,+\infty)\) for the Cauchy problem \(x'(t)\in F(x(t))\), \(F: K\to R^ n\), replacing the convexity condition on \(F\) [see \textit{G. Haddad}, Isr. J. Math. 39, 83-100 (1981; Zbl 0462.34048)] with the condition that \(F\) is contained in the subdifferential of a proper convex function [see \textit{A. Bressan}, \textit{A. Cellina} and \textit{G. Colombo}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 106, No. 3, 771-775 (1989; Zbl 0698.34014)]. The assertion is deduced as a special case \(K\equiv P(x)\) of the main theorem concerning monotone invariant solutions and the preorder \(P\) on \(K\) lower semicontinuous with closed graph.
