Existence theorems for nonlinear boundary value problems for second order differential inclusions

Abstract

In this paper we consider a nonlinear two-point boundary value problem for second order differential inclusions. Using the Leray-Schauder principle and its multivalued analog due to Dugundji-Granas, we prove existence theorems for convex and nonconvex problems. Our results are quite general and incorporate as special cases several classes of problems which are of interest in the literature. © 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
