Existence of basic solutions of first order linear homogeneous set-valued differential equations

Abstract

The paper presents various derivatives of set-valued mappings,their main properties and how they are related to each other.Next, we consider Cauchy problems with linear homogeneousset-valued differential equations with different types ofderivatives (Hukuhara derivative, PS-derivative andBG-derivative). It is known that such initial value problems withPS-derivative and BG-derivative have infinitely many solutions.Two of these solutions are called basic. These are solutions suchthat the diameter function of the solution section is amonotonically increasing (the first basic solution) or monotonicallydecreasing (the second basic solution) function. However, the secondbasic solution does not always exist. We provideconditions for the existence of basic solutions of such initialvalue problems. It is shown that their existence depends on thetype of derivative, the matrix of coefficients on the right-handand the type of the initial set. Model examples are considered.
