and Applied Analysis 3 Theorem 4 (see [21, 22]). Let X,Y be two Banach spaces satisfy the previous assumptions, and let {U(t, τ)} be amultivalued process onX andY, respectively. Assume that {U(t, τ)} is upper semicontinuous or weak upper semicontinuous on Y. If for fixed t ⩾ τ, τ ∈ R, U(t, τ) maps compact subsets of X into bounded subsets ofP(X), then U(t, τ) is norm-to-weak upper semicontinuou...

We establish uniform continuity of the value for zero-sum games with differential information, when the distance between changing information fields of each player is measured by the Boylan pseudometric. We also show that the optimal strategy correspondence is upper semicontinuous when the information fields of players change (even with the weak topology on players’ strategy sets), and is appro...

In the paper, the notion of a generalized convexity was defined and studied from the view-point of the selection and approximation theory of set-valued maps. We study the simultaneous existence of continuous relative selections and graph-approximations of lower semicontinuous and upper semicontinuous set-valued maps with α-convex values having nonempty intersection.

We prove the existence of viable solutions for an autonomous second-order functional differential inclusions in the case when the multifunction that define the inclusion is upper semicontinuous compact valued and contained in the subdifferential of a proper lower semicontinuous convex function.

China Abstract The square iterative roots for strictly monotonic and upper semicontinuous functions with one set-valued point were fully described in (Li et al. in Publ. Math. (Debr.) 75:203-220, 2009). As a continuation, we study both strictly monotonic and nonmonotonic multifunctio...

Let (G, u) be an Archimedean norm-complete dimension group with order-unit. Continuing a previous paper, we study intervals (i.e., nonempty upward directed lower subsets) of G which are closed with respect to the canonical norm of (G, u). In particular, we establish a canonical one-to-one correspondence between closed intervals of G and certain affine lower semicontinuous functions on the state...

In this paper we give examples of value functions in Bolza problem that are not bilateral or viscosity solutions and an example of a smooth value function that is even not a classic solution (in particular, it can be neither the viscosity nor the bilateral solution) of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation with upper semicontinuous Hamiltonian. Good properties of value functions motivate us to intro...
