In volume I we developed the tools of "Multivalued Analysis. " In this
volume we examine the applications. After all, the initial impetus for
the development of the theory of set-valued functions came from its
applications in areas such as control theory and mathematical
economics. In fact, the needs of control theory, in particular the
study of systems with a priori feedback, led to the systematic
investigation of differential equations with a multi valued vector
field (differential inclusions). For this reason, we start this volume
with three chapters devoted to set-valued differential equations.
However, in contrast to the existing books on the subject (i. e. J.
-P. Aubin - A. Cellina: "Differential Inclusions," Springer-Verlag,
1983, and Deimling: "Multivalued Differential Equations," W. De
Gruyter, 1992), here we focus on "Evolution Inclusions," which are
evolution equations with multi valued terms. Evolution equations
were raised to prominence with the development of the linear semigroup
theory by Hille and Yosida initially, with subsequent im portant
contributions by Kato, Phillips and Lions. This theory allowed a
successful unified treatment of some apparently different classes of
nonstationary linear par tial differential equations and linear
functional equations. The needs of dealing with applied problems and
the natural tendency to extend the linear theory to the nonlinear case
led to the development of the nonlinear semigroup theory, which became
a very effective tool in the analysis of broad classes of nonlinear
evolution equations.
