Abstract: In this paper we study nonlinear second-order differential inclusions involving the ordinary vector

-Laplacian, a multivalued maximal monotone operator and nonlinear multivalued boundary conditions. Our framework is general and unifying and incorporates gradient systems, evolutionary variational inequalities and the classical boundary value problems, namely the Dirichlet, the Neumann and the periodic problems. Using notions and techniques from the nonlinear operator theory and from multivalued analysis, we obtain solutions for both the `convex' and `nonconvex' problems. Finally, we present the cases of special interest, which fit into our framework, illustrating the generality of our results.

Review text

The authors study the following nonlinear multivalued boundary value problem \[ \varphi(x'(t))'\in A(x(t))+ F(t,x(t))\quad \text{ a.e. on}\,\,\, t\in[0,T], \] \[ (\varphi(x'(0)),-\varphi(x'(T)))\in\xi(x(0),x(T)), \] where \(\varphi:{\mathbb R}^{N}\to {\mathbb R}^{N}\) is the function defined by \(\varphi (\xi):= \| \xi\| ^{p-2}\xi\), \(p \geq 2\), \(A:D(A) \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N\to 2^{{\mathbb R}^{N}}\) is a maximal monotone map, \(F:[0,T]\times {\mathbb R}^{N}\to 2^{{\mathbb R}^{N}}\) is a multivalued vector field and \(\xi:{\mathbb R}^{N}\times {\mathbb R}^{N}\to 2^{{\mathbb R}^{N}\times {\mathbb R}^{N}}\) is a maximal monotone map describing the boundary conditions. Using notions and techniques from nonlinear operator theory and multivalued analysis, some existence theorems for both convex and nonconvex problems are obtained under the hypothesis that \(F\) satisfies the well-known Hartman condition on a priori bound. Their framework is general and unifying and incorporates gradient systems, evolutionary variational inequalities, and the classical boundary value problems, namely the Dirichlet, the Neumann and the periodic problems. Finally, they present some special cases for illustrating the generality and unifying character of their results.
