Abstract:
In this paper, we study second order differential inclusions in with a maximal monotone term and generalized boundary conditions. The nonlinear differential operator need not be necessary homogeneous and incorporates as a special case the one-dimensional p-Laplacian. The generalized boundary conditions incorporate as special cases well-known problems such as the Dirichlet (Picard), Neumann and periodic problems. As application to the proven results we obtain existence theorems for both “convex” and “nonconvex” problems when the maximal monotone term A is defined everywhere and when not (case of variational inequalities).
