Chaos generated by the existence of Smale horseshoe is the well-known phenomenon in the theory of dynamical systems. The Poincaré-Andronov-Melnikov periodic and subharmonic bifurcations are also classical results in this theory. The purpose of this note is to extend those results to ordinary differential equations with multivalued perturbations. We present several examples based on our recent achievements in this direction. Singularly perturbed problems are studied as well. Applications are given...

Ordinary differential inclusions depending on small parameters are considered such that the unperturbed inclusions are ordinary differential equations possessing manifolds of periodic solutions. Sufficient conditions are determined for the persistence of some of these periodic solutions after multivalued perturbations. Applications are given to dry friction problems.

Variational inequalities $$U\left(t\right)\in K,(\dot{U}\left(t\right)-B_{\lambda }U\left(t\right)-G(\lambda ,U\left(t\right)),Z-U\left(t\right))\ge 0\text{for}\text{all}Z\in K,\text{a.a.}t\in [0,T)$$ are studied, where $K$ is a closed convex cone in ${ℝ}^{\kappa }$, $\kappa \ge 3$, $B_{\lambda }$ is a $\kappa \times \kappa$ matrix, $G$ is a small perturbation, $\lambda$ a real parameter. The assumptions guaranteeing a Hopf bifurcation at some ${\lambda }_0$ for the corresponding equation are considered and it is proved that then, in some situations, also a bifurcation of periodic solutions to our inequality occurs at some ${\lambda }_I\ne {\lambda }_0$. Bifurcating solutions are obtained by the limiting process along branches of solutions to penalty problems starting at ${\lambda }_0$ constructed...

The paper deals with the multivalued boundary value problem $x^{\text{'}}\in A(t,x)x+F(t,x)$ for a.a. $t\in [a,b]$, $Mx\left(a\right)+Nx\left(b\right)=0$, in a separable, reflexive Banach space $E$. The nonlinearity $F$ is weakly upper semicontinuous in $x$. We prove the existence of global solutions in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}([a,b],E)$ with $1<p<\infty$ endowed with the weak topology. We consider the case of multiple solutions of the associated homogeneous linearized problem. An example completes the discussion.

We consider boundary value problems for semilinear evolution inclusions. We establish the existence of extremal solutions. Using that result, we show that the evolution inclusion has periodic extremal trajectories. These results are then applied to closed loop control systems. Finally, an example of a semilinear parabolic distributed parameter control system is worked out in detail.

In this paper, we shall establish sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions for a boundary value problem for fractional differential inclusions. Both cases of convex valued and nonconvex valued right hand sides are considered.

We present some existence results for boundary value problems for first order multivalued differential systems. Our approach is based on topological transversality arguments, fixed point theorems and differential inequalities.

In this paper, the authors establish sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to implicit fractional differential inclusions with nonlocal conditions. Both of the cases of convex and nonconvex valued right hand sides are considered.

In this paper we prove two existence theorems for abstract boundary value problems controlled by semilinear evolution inclusions in which the nonlinear part is a lower Scorza-Dragoni multifunction. Then, by using these results, we obtain the existence of periodic mild solutions.

This paper is concerned with the existence of BV and right continuous solutions for some classes of multivalued differential equations on closed moving sets in Banach spaces.

We consider a class of evolution differential inclusions defining the so-called stop operator arising in elastoplasticity, ferromagnetism, and phase transitions. These differential inclusions depend on a constraint which is represented by a convex set that is called the characteristic set. For $\mathrm{BV}$ (bounded variation) data we compare different notions of $\mathrm{BV}$ solutions and study how the continuity properties of the solution operators are related to the characteristic set. In the finite-dimensional case...
