Using Bressan-Colombo results, concerning the existence of continuous selections of lower semicontinuous multifunctions with decomposable values, we prove a continuous version of Filippov’s theorem for a SturmLiuoville differential inclusion. This result allows to obtain a continuous selection of the solution set of the problem considered.
