Necessary and sufficient conditions for discrete and differential inclusions of elliptic type

This paper deals for the first time with the Dirichlet problem for discrete (PD), discrete approximation problem on a uniform grid and differential (PC) inclusions of elliptic type. In the form of Euler-Lagrange inclusion necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality are derived for the problems under consideration on the basis of new concepts of locally adjoint mappings. The results obtained are generalized to the multidimensional case with a second order elliptic operator.     

Chaotic solutions in differential inclusions: chaos in dry friction problems

The existence of a continuum of many chaotic solutions is shown for certain differential inclusions which are small periodic multivalued perturbations of ordinary differential equations possessing homoclinic solutions to hyperbolic fixed points. Applications are given to dry friction problems. Singularly perturbed differential inclusions are investigated as well.

     

Bifurcation of periodic solutions in differential inclusions

Ordinary differential inclusions depending on small parameters are considered such that the unperturbed inclusions are ordinary differential equations possessing manifolds of periodic solutions. Sufficient conditions are determined for the persistence of some of these periodic solutions after multivalued perturbations. Applications are given to dry friction problems.     

Stochastic representation of partial differential inclusions

Partial differential inclusions of the form and ψ∈LFGu+cu, where LFG is a uniformly parabolic second order set-valued operator, are considered. In particular, basing on diffusions properties of weak solutions to stochastic differential inclusions, some existence and representation theorems for solutions of such type partial differential inclusions are given.

We study the existence of W^2,1 solutions for singular and nonsmooth initial value problems of the type whereT > 0 is a priori fixed, x₀, x₁ ∈ ?, and F: [0, T ] × ? → ??(?) \ {??} is a multivalued mapping. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Existence results for second order impulsive functional differential inclusions

In this paper, the existence of solution on a compact interval to second order impulsive functional differential inclusions is investigated. Several new results are obtained by using suitable fixed point theorem.     

Controllability for neutral stochastic functional differential inclusions with infinite delay in abstract space

In this paper, sufficient conditions are given for the controllability of a class of partial stochastic functional differential inclusions with infinite delay in an abstract space with the help of the Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative. An example is provided to illustrate the theory.     

Discrete approximations to optimization of neutral functional differential inclusions

The paper deals with the convergence of discrete approximations to optimization problems governed by neutral functional differential inclusions. The discrete approximations through Euler finite difference are constructed and the convergence of discrete approximations is proved.     

Stochastic differential inclusions and diffusion processes

Connections between weak solutions of stochastic differential inclusions and solutions of partial differential inclusions, generated by given set-valued mappings are considered. The main results are based on some continuous approximation selection theorem and weak compactness of the set of all weak solutions to a given stochastic differential inclusion.     

Duality in the problems of optimal control described by first-order partial differential inclusions

On the basis of the apparatus of locally conjugate mappings, a sufficient condition for optimality is derived for the non-convex problem and duality theorems are proved. A sufficient condition for an extremum is an extremal relation for the direct and dual problem.     

A transfer principle for multivalued stochastic differential equations

In this paper we prove a transfer principle for multivalued stochastic differential equations.     

On duality in problems of optimal control described by convex differential inclusions of Goursat-Darboux type

Sufficient conditions of optimality are derived for convex and non-convex problems with state constraints on the basis of the apparatus of locally conjugate mappings. The duality theorem is formulated and the conditions under which the direct and dual problems are connected by the duality relation are searched for.     

Solvability of nonlinear impulsive Volterra integral inclusions and functional differential inclusions

This paper presents sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to nonlinear impulsive Volterra integral inclusions and initial value problems for second order impulsive functional differential inclusions in Banach spaces. Our results are obtained via a fixed point theorem due to Hong [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 282 (2003) 151-162] for discontinuous multivalued increasing operators.     

Implicit runge-kutta methods for differential inclusions

This paper is concerned with the application of implicit Runge-Kutta methods suitable for stiff initial value problems to initial value problems for differential inclusions with upper semicontinuous right-hand sides satisfying a uniform one-sided Lipschitz condition and a growth condition. The problems could stem from differential equations with state discontinuous right-hand sides. It is shown that there exist methods with higher order of convergence on intervals where the solution is smooth enough. Globally we get at least the order one.     

Existence for neutral impulsive differential inclusions with nonlocal conditions

In this paper, by using a fixed point theorem for condensing multi-valued maps, we have investigated the existence of mild solutions for a class of semilinear impulsive neutral functional differential inclusions with nonlocal conditions. As an application, an example has been presented to illustrate the results obtained.     

Anti-periodic solutions for differential inclusions in Banach spaces and their applications

We deal with anti-periodic problems for differential inclusions with nonmonotone perturbations. The main tools in our study are the maximal monotone property of the derivative operator with anti-periodic conditions and the theory of pseudomonotone perturbations of maximal monotone mappings. We then apply our results to evolution hemivariational inequalities and parabolic equations with nonmonotone discontinuities, which generalize and extend previously known theorems.     

On boundary-value problems for second order perturbed differential inclusions

This article studies the existence of solutions to boundary-value problems for second order multi-valued perturbed differential inclusions under the mixed Lipschitz and Carathéodory conditions. The existence of extremal solutions is also obtained under certain monotonicity conditions and the weaker nonconvexity conditions for multi-valued functions.     

On meromorphic solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations of first order

We prove a uniqueness theorem in terms of value distribution for meromorphic solutions of a class of nonlinear partial differential equations of first order, which shows that such solutions f are uniquely determined by the zeros and poles of f−cj (counting multiplicities) for two distinct complex numbers c₁ and c₂.
