Existence of solutions to initial value problems for the second order mixed monotone type of impulsive differential inclusions (Q818030)

Let \(E\) be a partially ordered Banach space, \(D\) a subset of \(E\) and \(A:D\times D\to 2^{E}\) a mixed monotone operator; i.e., \(A(x,y)\) is increasing in \(x\) and decreasing in \(y.\) The author establishes the existence of a coupled minimax fixed-point of \(A\) in \(D\times D\) with \(D=[u_0,v_0]=\{u:u_0\leq u\leq v_0\}.\) Using this result, the author establishes the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a second-order mixed monotone type of impulsive differential inclusions in a partially ordered Banach space.
