Existence of solutions for integral inclusions (Q820028)

This paper presents sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions to a class of nonlinear integral inclusion of the form \[ x(t)=f(t,x)\int_{0}^{t}u_{x}(t,s)\,ds, \] where \(f:R_{+}\times R^{n}\to R^{n}\) is a single valued map, \(u_{x}\in S_{U,x}, \;S_{U,x}\) is the set of selections of the multivalued map \(U: H\times R^{n}\to 2^{R^{n}}, \) and \(H=\{(t,s)\in R_{+}\times R_{+} : s\leq t\}\). These results are obtained via a fixed point theorem due to \textit{M. Martelli} [Boll. Unione Mat. Ital., IV. Ser. 11, Suppl. Fasc. 3, 70--76 (1975; Zbl 0314.47035)] or the author [\textit{S. Hong}, Electron. J. Differ. Equ. 2003, Paper No. 32 (2003; Zbl 1023.34056)] for condensing multivalued maps on ordered Banach spaces.
