Abstract

In the case of KD(A)¯, we study Cauchy problems and periodic problems for nonlinear evolution equation u(t)K, u(t)+Au(t)f(t,u(t)), 0tT, where A isa maximal monotone operator on a Hilbert space H, K is a closed, convex subset of H, V is a subspace of H, and f:[0,T]×(KV)H is of Carathéodory type.
