Techniques for nonsmooth analysis on smooth manifolds. II: Deformations and flows

From MaRDI portal





After having introduced the main concepts of nonsmooth analysis for functions defined on differential manifolds \(\mathcal{M}\) [see part I: Local problems, Springer. Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences 301, 283--297 (2004; Zbl 1107.49018)], the authors continue their development by considering differential inclusions \(\dot{c}(t)\in F(c(t))\), where \(F:\mathcal{M}\rightrightarrows T\mathcal{M}\) is an upper semicontinuous multifunction on \(\mathcal{M}\) whose values \(F(m)\) are convex compact subsets of the corresponding tangent space \(T_{m}\mathcal{M}\). Under these assumptions, they establish existence of absolutely continuous solutions \(c:[0,T]\to\mathcal{M}\) and study the properties of weak monotonicity, weak invariance and linear growth for the solutions. As an application they establish a nonsmooth implicit function theorem for general lower semicontinuous functions \(f:\mathcal{M}\times P\to \mathbb{R\cup\{+\infty\}}\) where \(P\) is a parametric set. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1051.49001].
