A class of second-order evolution equations with double characteristics
In this note we present a result on compactness in certain Banach spaces of vector valued functions. We demonstrate an application of this result to the questions of existence of solutions of nonlinear differential inclusions on a Banach space.
We give a meaning to derivative of a function , where is a complete metric space. This enables us to investigate differential equations in a metric space. One can prove in particular Gronwall’s Lemma, Peano and Picard Existence Theorems, Lyapunov Theorem or Nagumo Theorem in metric spaces. The main idea is to define the tangent space of . Let , be continuous at zero. Then by the definition and are in the same equivalence class if they are tangent at zero, that is if By we denote...
