Let K be a closed convex cone with nonempty interior in a real Banach space and let cc(K) denote the family of all nonempty convex compact subsets of K. A family $F^t:t\ge 0$ of continuous linear set-valued functions $F^t:K\to cc\left(K\right)$ is a differentiable iteration semigroup with F⁰(x) = x for x ∈ K if and only if the set-valued function $\Phi (t,x)=F^t\left(x\right)$ is a solution of the problem $D_t\Phi (t,x)=\Phi (t,G\left(x\right)):=\bigcup \Phi (t,y):y\in G\left(x\right)$, Φ(0,x) = x, for x ∈ K and t ≥ 0, where $D_t\Phi (t,x)$ denotes the Hukuhara derivative of Φ(t,x) with respect to t and $G\left(x\right):=li{m}_{s\to 0+}(F^s\left(x\right)-x)/s$ for x ∈ K.

We define absolutely monotone multifunctions and prove their analyticity on an interval [0,b).

Let K be a closed convex cone with nonempty interior in a real Banach space and let cc(K) denote the family of all nonempty convex compact subsets of K. If F t: t ≥ 0 is a regular cosine family of continuous additive set-valued functions F t: K → cc(K) such that x ∈ F t(x) for t ≥ 0 and x ∈ K, then $F_t\circ F_s\left(x\right)=F_s\circ F_t\left(x\right)fors,t⩾0andx\in K$.

Let F t: t ≥ 0 be a concave iteration semigroup of linear continuous set-valued functions defined on a convex cone K with nonempty interior in a Banach space X with values in cc(K). If we assume that the Hukuhara differences F 0(x) − F t (x) exist for x ∈ K and t > 0, then D t F t (x) = (−1)F t ((−1)G(x)) for x ∈ K and t ≥ 0, where D t F t (x) denotes the derivative of F t (x) with respect to t and $$G\left(x\right)=\underset{s\to 0}{lim}\left(F^0\left(x\right)-F^s\left(x\right)\right)/\phantom{\left(F^0\left(x\right)-F^s\left(x\right)\right)\left(-s\right)}\left(-s\right)$$ for x ∈ K.

Let Y be a subgroup of an abelian group X and let T be a given collection of subsets of a linear space E over the rationals. Moreover, suppose that F is a subadditive set-valued function defined on X with values in T. We establish some conditions under which every additive selection of the restriction of F to Y can be extended to an additive selection of F. We also present some applications of results of this type to the stability of functional equations.
