Abstract: The deterministic analog of the Markov property of a time-homogeneous Markov process is the semigroup property of solutions of an autonomous differential equation. The semigroup property arises naturally when the solutions of a differential equation are unique, and leads to a semiflow. We prove an abstract result on measurable selection of a semiflow for the situations without uniqueness. We outline applications to ODEs, PDEs, differential inclusions, etc. Our proof of the semiflow selection theorem is motivated by N. V. Krylov's Markov selection theorem. To accentuate this connection, we include a new version of the Markov selection theorem related to more recent papers of Flandoli & Romito and Goldys et al.

Review text

Let \(X\) be a separable complete metric space; \(\Omega\) the space of all infinite paths \(u \colon [0, +\infty) \to X\) endowed with the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets; for \(x \in X\),\, \(\Omega_x =\{w \in \Omega \colon w(0) = x \}.\) Considering a compact-valued multimap \(S \colon X \multimap \Omega\) such that \(S(x) \subset \Omega_x \forall x \in X\) which is measurable w.r.t. the Borel \(\sigma\)-algebra on \(X,\) the authors study sufficient conditions for the existence of a measurable selection \(u(\cdot,x) \in S(x) \forall x \in X\) with the semigroup property \[ u(t_2,u(t_1,x)) = u(t_1 + t_2,x) \] for all \(t_1, t_2\) and \(x \in X.\) The connection of this result with the Markov type selection theorems (see [\textit{N. V. Krylov}, Math. USSR, Izv. 7, 691--709 (1974; Zbl 0295.60057); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 37, 691--708 (1973)]) is described. Some applications to ordinary and partial differential equations, differential inclusions, and the Navier-Stokes equations are presented.
