Schwarzian derivatives of contact diffeomorphisms.
The existence of anti-periodic solutions is studied for a second order difference inclusion associated with a maximal monotone operator in Hilbert spaces. It is the discrete analogue of a well-studied class of differential equations.
We derive monotonicity results for solutions of ordinary differential inequalities of second order in ordered normed spaces with respect to the boundary values. As a consequence, we get an existence theorem for the Dirichlet boundary value problem by means of a variant of Tarski's Fixed Point Theorem.
Let (X,T) be a paracompact space, Y a complete metric space, a lower semicontinuous multifunction with nonempty closed values. We prove that if is a (stronger than T) topology on X satisfying a compatibility property, then F admits a -continuous selection. If Y is separable, then there exists a sequence of -continuous selections such that for all x ∈ X. Given a Banach space E, the above result is then used to construct directionally continuous selections on arbitrary subsets of ℝ × E.
We study the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the minimal time function in a domain which contains the target set. We generalize the results of Clarke and Nour [J. Convex Anal., 2004], where the target set is taken to be a single point. As an application, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to eikonal equations.

This paper is devoted to the investigation of the abstract semilinear initial value problem du/dt + A(t)u = f(t,u), u(0) = u₀, in the "parabolic" case.
