Periodic solutions for implicit evolution inclusions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider a nonlinear implicit evolution inclusion driven by a nonlinear, nonmonotone, time-varying set-valued map and defined in the framework of an evolution triple of Hilbert spaces. Using an approximation technique and a surjectivity result for parabolic operators of monotone type, we show the existence of a periodic solution.


The object of study in the paper is a nonlinear implicit evolution inclusion under a periodic condition, namely \[ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \dfrac{d}{dt}B(u(t)) + A(t,u(t)) \ni 0 \mbox{ for almost all } t\in [0,b],\\ B(u(0))=B(u(b)), \end{array}\right\} \] where: \(B\in\mathcal{L}(X,X^*)\); \(A:[0,b]\times X\to 2^{X^*}\) is a map measurable in \(t\in [0,b]\) and such that, for a.a. \(t\in [0,b]\), \(A(t,\cdot)\) is bounded and pseudo-monotone; \((X,H,X^*)\) is an evolution triple of Hilbert spaces; \(\mathcal{L}(X,X^*)\) is the space of all bounded linear operators from \(X\) to \(X^*\). It's remarkable that, unlike what occurs in contemporary literature, the multifunction \(A\) is nonlinear, nonmonotone, and time-varying. Combining an approximation technique with a surjectivity result for parabolic operators of monotone type, the existence of periodic solutions is provided. The existence theorem is then applied to an initial boundary value problem, where \(A\) is led by the subdifferential of a continuous but not \(C^1\)-convex functional.
