“…Extensions of these methods have been obtained by several authors in various directions such as Floquet BVPs, Carathéodory conditions, non-smooth bounding functions and non-smooth boundaries, differential inclusions, extensions to Banach spaces, PDEs, integro-differential equations, differential equations with impulses, nonlocal BVPs. A constantly growing literature in this area shows the persistent influence of the bound sets and bounding functions approach; see [2,3,6,7,37,38,39,44] and the references therein.…”
