BOUNDED SOLUTIONS OF CARATHÉODORY DIFFERENTIAL INCLUSIONS: A BOUND SETS APPROACH JAN ANDRES, LUISA MALAGUTI, AND VALENTINA TADDEI Received 9 March 2002 ´ A bound sets technique is developed for Floquet problems of Caratheodory dif- ferential inclusions. It relies on the construction of either continuous or locally Lipschitzian Lyapunov-like bounding functions. Proceeding sequentially, the ex- istence of bounded trajectories is then obtained. Nontrivial examples are sup- plied to illustrate our approach. 1. Introduction This paper is mainly devoted to the investigation of bounded solutions of the differential inclusion x ∈ F (t,x), t ∈ R. (1.1) ´ R × RN RN with We will always consider a Caratheodory set-valued map F : nonempty, compact, and convex values. We recall that F is said to be a Caratheodory multifunction if F (·,x ) is measurable for each x ∈ RN , and F (t, ·) ´ is upper semicontinuous for almost all (a.a.) t ∈ R. For the definitions of these standard notions, see, for example, [30]. Our main result is Theorem 4.2. It states the existence of a bounded solution for ( 1.1). The technique employed in its proof is essentially split into two parts. First, in Section 3 (see Theorem 3.2), given an arbitrary real interval [a,b], we solve the Floquet boundary value problem x ∈ F (t,x), for a.a. t ∈ [a,b], (1.2) x (b) = Mx (a), where M is a regular N ×N matrix. We obtain its solvability by means of a con- tinuation principle due to Andres et al. [7, Proposition 3.1] (see also [5, 8]). Copyright © 2003 Hindawi Publishing Corpor
