On Stepanov almost-periodic oscillations and their discretizations

The relationship between Carathéodory almost-periodic (a.p.) solutions and their discretizations is clarified for differential equations and inclusions in Banach spaces. Our investigation was stimulated by an old result of Meisters Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 10 (1959), pp. 113–119] about Bohr a.p. solutions which we generalize in several directions. Unlike for functions, Stepanov and Bohr a.p. sequences are shown to coincide. A particular attention is paid to purely (i.e. non-uniformly continuous) Stepanov a.p. solutions. Many ideas are explained in detail by means of examples illustrated.
