Review text

In this paper, the authors study the existence of minimal solutions to two-point boundary value problems for quasi-monotone dynamical systems \N\[ \N\dot{x} = f(t,x,y), \ \ \dot{y} = g(t,x,y), \qquad \text{a.e. } t\in[0,T]\N\] \Nwith boundary conditions given by \N\[ \Nx(0)=\bar{x},\qquad y(T)=\bar{y}, \N\] \Nwhere \(x\colon [0,T]\to\mathbb{R}^{N_1}\), \(x(t)=(x_1(t),\dots,x_{N_1}(t))\) and \(y\colon [0,T]\to\mathbb{R}^{N_2}\), \(y(t)=(y_1(t),\dots,y_{N_2}(t))\) are absolutely continuous functions in \([0,T]\) for \(N_1,N_2\in\mathbb{N}\). Specifically, the pointwise infimum of all supersolutions is shown to coincide with the minimal solution. This result is then applied to establish a non-uniqueness result for strong solutions to a class of mean field games with a continuum of players.
