\section{Introduction}

The purpose of this paper is to prove existence theorems for the
integral inclusion of weakly completely continuous type
$$
u(t)\in\int_a^b K(t,s)F(s,u(s))ds \quad  \text{for all } t\in
[a,b].
$$
Integral equations (inclusions) have been studied by many authors;
see, for example \cite{o1}, where the nonlinear alternative for
multi-valued mappings is used for obtaining existence results for
Volterra and Hammerstein type equations. Our approach is rather
different and is based on a global bifurcation theorem for
convex-valued completely continuous mappings; see \cite[Theorem 1]{d1}.

 This paper will be divided into four sections. In the second
section we will introduce a class of integral inclusions of weakly
completely continuous type, and next we will state the main
theorem. In the third section we will prove an existence theorem
using a global bifurcation theorem for convex-valued completely
continuous mappings \cite[Theorem 1]{d1}. In this part we
will assume that a multi-valued mapping $F:[a,b]\times \mathbb{R}^k\to
\mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^k)$ satisfies  appropriate  conditions close
to zero and infinity. The fourth part contains some applications
of the results given in the second section, and  selectors
theorems. As consequences we will obtain existence theorems for
integral inclusions and for boundary value problems for
differential inclusions.


In this paper we will use the following notation. Let $E$ be a
real Banach space. By $\mathop{\rm cl}(E)$ we will denote the
family of all non-empty, closed and bounded subsets of $E$. By
$\mathop{\rm cf}(E)$ we will denote the family of all non-empty,
closed, bounded and convex subsets of $E$. For two sets $A,B\in
\mathop{\rm cl}(E)$ we will denote by $\mathop{\rm D}(A,B)$ the
Hausdorff distance between $A$ and $B$. In particular we put
$|A|=\mathop{\rm D}(A,\{0\})$.

Let $E_1, E_2$ be two Banach spaces and $X\subseteq E_1$. A
multi-valued mapping $\varphi:X\to \mathop{\rm cl}(E_2)$ has a
closed graph provided for all sequences $\{x_n\}\subset X$ and
$\{y_n\}\subset E_2$ the conditions $x_n\to x$, $y_n\to y $ and
$y_n\in \varphi (x_n)$ for every $n\in \mathbb{N} $ imply
$y\in \varphi(x)$.

We call a multi-valued mapping $\varphi:X\to \mathop{\rm cl}(E_2)$
completely continuous if $\varphi $ has a closed graph and for any
bounded subset $A\subseteq X$ the set $\varphi(A)=\bigcup_{x\in
A}\varphi(x)$ is a relatively compact subset of $E_2$.

A multi-valued mapping $\varphi:X\to \mathop{\rm cl}(E_2)$ has a
strongly-weakly (s-w) closed graph  provided for all sequences
$\{x_n\}\subset X$ and $\{y_n\}\subset E_2$ the conditions $x_n\to
x$, $y_n\rightharpoonup y $ and $y_n\in \varphi (x_n)$ for every
$n\in \mathbb{N} $ imply $y\in \varphi (x)$ ($y_n\rightharpoonup y $
denotes weak convergence).

We call a multi-valued mapping $\varphi:X\to \mathop{\rm cl}(E_2)$
weakly completely continuous if $\varphi $ has a strongly-weakly
closed graph  and for any bounded subset $A\subseteq X$ the set
$\varphi(A)=\cup_{x\in  A}\varphi(x)$ is a relatively weakly
compact subset of $E_2$.

We will also need the following notations.  For
$x=(x_1,\dots,x_k)\in \mathbb{R}^k$ we call $x$ non-negative (and write
$x\geq 0$) when $x_i\geq 0$ for $i=1,\dots,k$. Let
$\Vert\cdot\Vert_0$ be the supremum norm in $C[a,b]$ and
$\Vert\cdot\Vert_k$ be the norm in $C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$ given by
 $\Vert u\Vert_k = \sum_{i=1}^k\Vert u_i\Vert_0 $ for
$u=(u_1,\dots ,u_k)\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$.
 For $v\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$ we say $v\geq 0$ if and only if $v(t)\geq 0$ for
every $t \in [a,b]$.
 For $u,v\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$ we write
$\langle  u,v\rangle  = \int_a^b \sum_{i=1}^k
u_i(t)v_i(t) dt$. Let the mapping $p:\mathbb{R}^k \to \mathbb{R}^k$ be given
by $p(x_1,\dots,x_k)=(|x_1|,\dots,|x_k|)$.

\section{Integral inclusions of weakly completely continuous type}

In what follows we consider the  integral inclusions of
weakly completely continuous type,
\begin{equation}
u(t)\in\int_a^b K(t,s)F(s,u(s))ds ,\quad   t\in [a,b], \label{e2}
\end{equation}
where the kernel $K:[a,b]^2 \to \mathbb{R} $ satisfies the following
conditions:
\begin{gather}
\label{syme}
 K(t,s)=K(s,t), \quad \forall t,s \in[a,b] \\
\label{ebou} K(t,\cdot)\in L^\infty((a,b),\mathbb{R}); \quad \forall t \in[a,b]\\
\label{cont}
\mathcal{K}(t)(s)=K(t,s) \text{ is continuous, }
\mathcal{K} :[a,b]\to L^\infty((a,b),\mathbb{R})
\\
\label{mont}   v\geq 0 \text{ implies }
\int_a^b K(t,s)v(s)ds \geq 0, \quad \forall v\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k);
\end{gather}
the set of eigenvalues of $v(t)=\lambda \int_a^b K(t,s)v(s)ds $
corresponding to  non-negative eigenvectors is nonempty and is finite.
Let us denote this set by
\begin{equation}\label{warw}
\Lambda = \{\mu_1 \dots, \mu_N\}, \quad\text{with }
 \mu_1<\mu_2< \dots < \mu_N;
\end{equation}
the multi-valued mapping
$F:[a,b]\times \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^k)$
satisfies the condition:
There exists a multi-valued  mapping
$\varphi: C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)\to \mathop{\rm cf}(L^1((a,b),\mathbb{R}^k))$
with a s-w closed graph such that
\begin{equation} \label{wccs}
\varphi(v)\subseteq\{w\in L^1((a,b),\mathbb{R}^k): w(t)\in F(t,v(t))\quad \text{a.e.
on } [a,b]\}
\end{equation}
for each $v\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$.

 Recall that a multi-valued mapping $F:[a,b]\times
\mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^k)$ is integrably bounded if:
For each $R>0$ there exists  a function $m_R\in L^1((a,b),\mathbb{R})$
such that
\begin{equation} \label{cog}
|F(t,x)|\leq m_R(t)\quad\text{for  a.e. $t\in[a,b]$
and every $x\in\mathbb{R}^k$ with  $|x|\leq R$.}
\end{equation}
A solution of the integral inclusion \eqref{e2} is a continuous
function  $u:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}^k$ which satisfies \eqref{e2}.

\begin{theorem} \label{thm1}
Let  $K:[a,b]^2\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfies  \eqref{syme}--\eqref{warw}
 and let a multi-valued mapping
$F:[a,b]\times \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^k)$
 satisfies  \eqref{wccs}, \eqref{cog} and
for every $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $\delta > 0$
such that
\begin{equation} \label{tw1:one}
  D(F(t,x), \{m_1 p(x)\})\leq\varepsilon|x|  \quad  \text{for }
 t\in[a,b] \;   |x|\leq \delta ;
\end{equation}
for every $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $R_0 > 0$ such that
\begin{equation}  \label{lin}
D(F(t,x), \{m_2 p(x)\})\leq\varepsilon|x| \quad  \text{for } t\in[a,b] \;
 |x|\geq R_0;
\end{equation}
with constants $m_1,m_2$ such that $m_1 > \max\Lambda $ and
 $ m_2<\min\Lambda$.
Then there exists at least one non-trivial solution of  integral
inclusion \eqref{e2}.
\end{theorem}

\section{Proof of  Theorem \ref{thm1}}

We need some notation. Let
$\Psi :(0,\infty)\times C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)\to \mathop{\rm cf}(C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k))$ be a completely
continuous mapping such that $0\in \Psi(\lambda, 0)$ for all
$\lambda\in(0,\infty)$.
 Let $f:(0,\infty)\times C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)\to \mathop{\rm cf}(C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k))$ be given by
\begin{equation} \label{pol}
f(\lambda,u)=u-\Psi(\lambda,u).
\end{equation}
We call  $(\mu,0)\in (0,\infty)\times C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k) $ a bifurcation point
of  $f$ if for each neighbourhood  $U$ of $(\mu,0)$ in
$(0,\infty)\times C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$  there exists a point $(\lambda,u)\in U$
such that $u\neq0$ and $0\in f(\lambda,u)$. Let us denote the set
of all bifurcation points of  $f$ by $\mathcal{B}_f$. Let
$\mathcal{R}_f \subset (0,\infty)\times C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$ be the closure (in
$(0,\infty)\times C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$) of the set of non-trivial solutions of
the inclusion $0\in f(\lambda ,u)$.

Let $V$ be a bounded open subset of a Banach space $E$ and let the
multi-valued mapping $g:\overline V \to \mathop{\rm cf}(E)$ be
given by $g(x)=x-G(x)$, where $G:\overline V \to \mathop{\rm
cf}(E)$ is a completely continuous multi-valued mapping such that,
for $x\in \partial V$, the relation $x\not\in\partial V$ holds. It
is well known that in such situation we may define the
Laray-Schauder degree $\deg (g,V,0)$
\cite{b1,c1,g2,l1,m1}.

 For each $\lambda$
satisfying $(\lambda,0)\not\in\mathcal{B}_f$ there exists $r_0>0$, such
that $0\not\in f(\lambda , u)$  for $\Vert u\Vert_k = r\in(0,r_0]$,
 so the value $\deg(f(\lambda,\cdot),B(0,r),0)$
is defined.
Assume that for an interval $[c,d]\subset (0,\infty)$ there exists
$\delta > 0$ such, that
$$
\Bigl(([c-\delta,c)\cup(d,d+\delta])\times\{0\}
\Bigr) \cap \mathcal{B}_f = \emptyset.
$$
Then we may define the bifurcation index $s[f,c,d]$ of the mapping $f$,
with respect to the interval $[c,d]$ as
 $$
s[f,c,d]=\lim_{\lambda\to
d^+}\deg(f(\lambda,\cdot),B(0,r),0)-\lim_{\lambda\to c^-}
\deg(f(\lambda,\cdot),B(0,r),0),
$$
where $r=r(\lambda)>0$ is small enough.

The main tool used in this section is Theorem \ref{thmA} below.
It is a global bifurcation result  for convex-valued completely
continuous mappings
being a consequence of the generalized   of the Rabinovitz
global bifurcation alternative (see \cite{c2,r1}).

\begin{theorem}[\cite{d1}] \label{thmA}
Let  $f: (0,\infty)\times C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)\to \mathop{\rm cf}(C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k))$ be given by
$(\ref{pol})$, and assume that there
exists an interval $[c,d]\subset  (0,\infty)$ such that
$\mathcal{B}_f\subset [c,d]\times\{0\}$ and $s[f,c,d]\neq 0$. Then there
exists a non-compact component $\mathcal{C}\subset\mathcal{R}_f$
satisfying $\mathcal{C}\cap\mathcal{B}_f\neq\emptyset$.
\end{theorem}


In what follows we will use the  integral operator
 $S:L^1((a,b),\mathbb{R}^k)\to C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k) $ given by
 \begin{equation} \label{oca}
 S(u)(t)=\int_a^bK(t,s)u(s)ds
\end{equation}
where $K$ is as above.

\begin{remark} \label{rmk1} \rm
Let us observe that the operator $S$ is well-defined and $S$ is
completely continuous.
\end{remark}


\begin{proposition}\label{Pru}
Let $\varphi:E_1\to \mathop{\rm cl}(E_2) $ be a weakly
completely continuous multi-valued mapping and let $T:E\to E_1$
be a continuous
linear mapping, and let $S:E_2\to E_3$ be a  continuous
linear mapping such that for every bounded subset $B$ of $  E_1$,
 $\overline {S\varphi (B)}$ is a compact subset of a Banach space  $E_3$.
 Then the composition $S\circ\varphi\circ T:E\to \mathop{\rm cl}(E_3)$
is completely
continuous.
\end{proposition}

Now we prove the main result.

\begin{proof}[Proof of  Theorem \ref{thm1}]
By \eqref{wccs} and \eqref{cog}  there
exists a weakly completely continuous multi-valued mapping
$\varphi: C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)\to \mathop{\rm cf}(L^1((a,b),\mathbb{R}^k))$ such that
\begin{equation} \label{nm}
\varphi(u)\subseteq\{w\in L^1((a,b),\mathbb{R}^k):  w(t)\in F(t,u(t))\text{ a.e.  on}
[a,b]\}
\end{equation}
for each $u\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$. It follows from
Remark 1 and Proposition \ref{Pru} that  the multi-valued  mapping
$S\circ\varphi:C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)\to \mathop{\rm cf}(C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k))$ is completely
continuous.
 Let $f:(0,\infty)\times C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)\to \mathop{\rm cf}(C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k))$
be given by the formula
$$
 f(\lambda,u)=u-\lambda S\varphi(u).
$$
Let us observe that if $0\in f(1,u)$ then $u$ is the solution of
integral inclusion \eqref{e2}. So it is enough to show that there
exists  $u\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$, $u\not=0$ such that $0\in f(1,u)$.
To prove this we apply Theorem \ref{thmA}.

The proof will be given in three steps.

\noindent\textbf{Step 1.}
We  show that $\mathcal{B}_f \subseteq \{({\mu_i \over m_1},0);
 i=1,\dots ,N\}$.
Let $(\lambda_0, 0)\in \mathcal{B}_f $, and let
$\{(\lambda_n ,u_n)\}\subset  (0,+\infty)\times C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$
be the sequence of non-trivial solutions of the inclusion
$$
u_n\in\lambda_n S\varphi(u_n)
$$
such that $\lambda_n\to\lambda_0\in (0,+\infty)$ and $u_n\to 0$.
Let the mapping $P:C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)\to L^1((a,b),\mathbb{R}^k)$ be given by $P(u)(t)=p(u(t))$.
So we have
$$
u_n\in\lambda_n S\varphi(u_n)-m_1\lambda_n SP(u_n)+ m_1 \lambda_n SP(u_n).
$$
 Let us denote $v_n={u_n\over \|u_n\|_k}$. Then we have
 $$
v_n\in \lambda_n S( {\varphi(u_n)
-m_1P(u_n)\over \|u_n\|_k} )+ \lambda_n m_1SP(v_n).
$$
 By (\ref{tw1:one}), we have $|{\varphi(u_n)-m_1
P(u_n)\over \|u_n\|_k} |\to 0$. Since the sequence
$\{\lambda_n m_1 P(v_n)\}$ is bounded, there exists a
subsequence of $ \{v_n\}$ convergent to $ v_0$ in $C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$, where
$\|v_0\|_k =1$. So letting $n\to +\infty $ we get $$ v_0=\lambda_0
m_1SP(v_0).$$ Because $P(v_0)\geq 0$ then by (\ref{mont}) $
SP(v_0)\geq 0$ and $v_0\geq 0$. Hence $P(v_0)= v_0$ and
$v_0=\lambda_0m_1 S(v_0)$. Then by \eqref{warw}
$\lambda_0={\mu_i\over m_1} $ for some $i\in \{1,\dots,N\}$ that
implies  $\mathcal{B}_f \subseteq \{({\mu_i \over
m_1},0);\ i=1,\dots ,N\}$.

\noindent\textbf{Step 2.}
 We  show that $s[ f,{\mu_1 \over m_1},{\mu_N
\over m_1}]=-1$. For this purpose  let us observe first
that for $\lambda \not\in\{{\lambda\over m_1}:\
\lambda\in\Lambda\}$ there exists $r>0$ such that by
(\ref{tw1:one}) the mapping $f(\lambda,\cdot ):\overline
{B(0,r)}\to \mathop{\rm cf}(C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k))$ is homotopic to the mapping
$f_0(\lambda,\cdot ):\overline {B(0,r)}\to  C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k) $ given by
$$
f_0(\lambda,u)=u-\lambda m_1SP(u).
$$ Moreover  for
$\lambda\in(0,{\mu_1\over m_1})$ the mapping
$f_0(\lambda,\cdot ):\overline {B(0,r)}\to C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$ is homotopic to
the identity mapping  $i:\overline {B(0,r)}\to \mathop{\rm
cf}(C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k))$, let the homotopy be given by $h(\tau,u)=u-\lambda\tau
m_1SP(u)$. Similarly to what we showed in Step 1 of this proof we
conclude that the homotopy $h$ has no non-trivial zeros. Hence by
homotopy property of topological degree we have $\deg (f_0(\lambda
,\cdot), B(0,r),0)=1$. Assume now that
$\lambda\in({\mu_N\over m_1}, +\infty )$. Choose any  $i\in\{ 1,\dots
,N\}$ and denote by $u_{\mu_i}$ a continuous non-trivial function
such that $u_{\mu_i}= \mu_i S( u_{\mu_i})$ and  $u_{\mu_i}\geq 0$.
We will show that the mapping $f_0(\lambda,\cdot ):\overline
{B(0,r)}\to C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k) $ may be joined by homotopy with the mapping
$f_1:\overline {B(0,r)}\to C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k) $ given by $f_1 (u)=f_0(\lambda,
u) -u_{\mu_i}$. A homotopy $h_1:[0,1]\times \overline {B(0,r)}\to
C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$ is given by  $h_1(\tau,u)=f_0(\lambda, u) - \tau
u_{\mu_i}$. Assume now that $h_1(\tau,u)=0$ for some $u$,
$\|u\|_k\leq r$ and $\tau\in (0,1]$. Hence
$$
u=\lambda m_1SP(u)+ \tau \mu_i S(u_{\mu_i})
=S(\lambda m_1P(u)+ \tau\mu_i u_{\mu_i}).
$$
Since  $\lambda m_1P(u)+ \tau\mu_i u_{\mu_i}\geq 0 $
 by (\ref{mont}) we have $u\ge 0$. So that,
$$
u=S( \lambda m_1u)+ \tau u_{\mu_i},
$$
and by \eqref{syme},
\begin{align*}
\langle u,u_{\mu_i}\rangle
& = \langle S (\lambda m_1 u ) + \tau u_{\mu_i}, u_{\mu_i}\rangle  \\
&= \lambda m_1\langle S(u),u_{\mu_i}\rangle  +
 \tau\langle u_{\mu_i}, u_{\mu_i}\rangle \\
& = \lambda m_1\langle u,S(u_{\mu_i})\rangle
 + \tau\langle u_{\mu_i}, u_{\mu_i}\rangle \\
& =    { \lambda m_1\over \mu_i}\langle u,u_{\mu_i} \rangle  +
 \tau\langle u_{\mu_i}, u_{\mu_i}\rangle .
\end{align*}
Then
$$
 {\mu_i-\lambda m_1\over \mu_i}\langle u,u_{\mu_i}\rangle
= \tau\langle u_{\mu_i}, u_{\mu_i}\rangle  >0,
$$
and we obtain $\mu_i>\lambda m_1, $ because $u\ge 0$ and
$u_{\mu_i}\ge 0$. This
contradicts the assumption $\lambda> {\mu_i\over m_1}$. Since
$m_1\lambda\not \in \Lambda$, we have $h_1(0
,\cdot)=f_0(\lambda,u)=0\Rightarrow u=0$. Hence the homoptopy
$h_1$ has no non-trivial zeroes, also $h(1,\cdot)$ has no zeroes
at all that is why $\deg (f_0(\lambda ,\cdot), B(0,r),0)=0$.

\noindent\textbf{Step 3.}
Let us observe that by Theorem \ref{thmA} there exists a
non-compact component  $\mathcal{C}\subset\mathcal{R}_f$ satisfying
$\mathcal{C}\cap\mathcal{B}_f\neq\emptyset. $ We are going  to show that
there exist $\lambda >1$ and $u\not=0$ such that $(\lambda ,u)\in
\mathcal{C}$. Since the set $\mathcal{C}$ is not compact there exists a
sequence $ \{ (\lambda_n ,u_n ) \}\subset
\mathcal{C}$ such that either $\lambda_n \to 0 $ or $\lambda_n \to
+\infty  $ or else $\|u_n\|_k \to +\infty $.

First let us assume that $\lambda_n\to 0 $ and $\{\|u_n\|_k\}$ is
bounded. In this case, the relation $u_n\in \lambda_n S\varphi
(u_n)$ holds and consequently $u_n\to 0$. As we showed in Step 1
 $u_n \to 0$ and $\lambda_n \to \lambda _0 $ implies  $\lambda _0\in \bigl\{{\lambda\over m_1 }:
\lambda \in \Lambda\bigr\}$, that contradicts $\lambda_n\to 0$.

Now let us consider the case $\|u_n\|_k \to +\infty $ and
$\lambda_n\to \lambda_0 \leq 1$. We can see  that
\begin{gather*}
u_n\in\lambda_n S\varphi(u_n)-m_2\lambda_n SP(u_n)+ m_2 \lambda_n SP(u_n),\\
v_n\in \lambda_n S( {\varphi(u_n)
-m_2P(u_n)\over \|u_n\|_k} )+ \lambda_n m_2SP(v_n),
\end{gather*}
 where $v_n={u_n\over \|u_n\|_k}$.

 By  \eqref{cog} and (\ref{lin}) similarly to what we showed in Step 1
of this proof there exists $v_0$ with $\|v_0\|_k=1$ such that
$$
v_0=\lambda_0 m_2SP(v_0).
$$
Since  $P(v_0)\geq 0$ then $SP(v_0)\geq 0$ and $v_0\geq 0$. Hence
$P(v_0)= v_0$ and
 $$
v_0=\lambda_0m_2 S(v_0)
$$
 then by \eqref{warw}
$\lambda_0={\mu_i\over m_2} $ for some $i\in \{1,\dots,N\}$ that
contradicts $\lambda_0\leq 1$.

 Finally let us assume that  $\lambda_n\to +\infty$.
 In this situation there exist $\lambda_n >1$ and $u_n\not=0$
with $(\lambda_n ,u_n)\in \mathcal{C}$.
Since  $\mathcal{C}\cap\mathcal{B}_f\neq\emptyset $ and by our
assumptions ${\mu_i \over m_1}<1$
for $i=1,\dots ,N$ then there exist $\lambda<1$ and $u$ such that
$(\lambda, u)\in \mathcal{C}$. By connectedness of $\mathcal{C}$ there
exists $u$ with $(1,u)\in \mathcal{C}$. For such solution of
inclusion $0\in f(1, u) $ there must be $u\not =0$, because
$(1,0)\not\in  \mathcal{R}_f$( $(1,0)\not\in  \mathcal{B}_f $). So the
proof is complete.
\end{proof}

\section{Examples}

In the first part of this section we study a class of multi-valued
mappings which admit a convex-valued weakly completely continuous
selectors. The problem concerning the existence of a continuous
selector and a weakly completely continuous selector have been
studied by many authors for; see for example:  Antosiwicz and
Cellina \cite{a1}, \L ojasiewicz \cite{l2}, Pli\'s \cite{p1},
Pruszko \cite{p2,p3},
Fryszkowski \cite{f2}, Bressan and Colombo \cite{b2},
Frigon and Granas \cite{f1}.

 In what follows we will consider integrably bounded  multi-valued
mappings $F:[a,b]\times \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^n)$
satisfying one of the following properties:
\begin{equation} \label{mlsc}
\begin{gathered}
F:[a,b]\times \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^n) \quad
\text{is $\mathcal{L}\otimes B$ measurable }\\
 F (t,\cdot ): \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^n)  \quad
\text{is l.s.c. for a.e. } t\in [a,b].
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
Let us recall that $A\subseteq [a,b]\times\mathbb{R}^k$ is $\mathcal{L}\otimes B$
measurable if $A$ belongs to the $\sigma$-algebra generated by all
sets of the form $N\times B$ where $N$ is Lebesgue measurable in
$[a,b]$ and $B$ is Borel measurable in $\mathbb{R}^k$.

\begin{equation} \label{mc}
\begin{gathered}
F(\cdot , x):[a,b]\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^n)
\quad\text{is measurable for all $x\in \mathbb{R}^k$ }\\
 F (t,\cdot ): \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^n)  \quad
\text{is continuous for a.e. } t\in [a,b].
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \label{lsc}
F:[a,b]\times \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^n)\quad \text{is l.s.c.}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \label{musc}
\begin{gathered}
F(\cdot , x):[a,b]\to \mathop{\rm cf}(\mathbb{R}^n)  \quad
\text{is measurable for all $x\in \mathbb{R}^k $} \\
 F (t,\cdot ): \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cf}(\mathbb{R}^n) \quad
\text{is u.s.c. for a.e. } t\in [a,b].
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
Now we  state without proof the following  Proposition. Next
applying Theorem \ref{thm1},  we  obtain the
existence  of solutions of integral inclusions.

\begin{proposition}[\cite{a1,b2,f1,f2,l2,p1,p2,p3}] \label{lbcf}
If $F:[a,b]\times \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is an
integrably bounded multi-valued mapping  satisfying one of the
conditions \eqref{mlsc} , \eqref{mc}, \eqref{lsc} or
\eqref{musc} then the Nemytskii operator
 $\mathcal{F} :C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)\to \mathop{\rm cl}(L^1((a,b),\mathbb{R}^n))$, associated with $F$,
admits a convex-valued
weakly completely continuous selector.
\end{proposition}


\begin{theorem}\label{thm2}
Let  $K:[a,b]^2\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfy \eqref{syme}--\eqref{warw}
 and let  $F:[a,b]\times \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^k)$
 be an integrably bounded multi-valued mapping such that one of the hypotheses
\eqref{mlsc},  \eqref{mc},  \eqref{lsc} or \eqref{musc} holds.
If, moreover
$F$ satisfies \eqref{tw1:one} and \eqref{lin}
 with constants $m_1,m_2$ such that $m_1 > \max\Lambda $ and
$ m_2<\min\Lambda $,
then there exists at least one non-trivial solution of integral
inclusion \eqref{e2}.
\end{theorem}

Now we prove an existence result for differential inclusions with
Sturm--Liouville boundary conditions
\begin{equation} \label{zagsl}
 \begin{gathered}
u''(t)\in -F(t,u(t),u'(t)) \quad \text{for a.e. }t\in(a,b) \\
l(u)=0,
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
where $F:[a,b]\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R})$ is
a multi-valued mapping and
$l:C^1([a,b],\mathbb{R})\to\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$ is given by
$$
 l(u)=\big(u(a)\sin\alpha  - u'(a)\cos\alpha, u(b)\sin\beta
+ u'(b)\cos\beta \big),
$$
and $\alpha,\beta\in[0,\frac{\pi}{2}], \alpha^2+\beta^2>0$.
It is well known (cf. \cite{c3,h1}) that with the boundary value problem
\begin{equation} \label{zaglsl}
\begin{gathered}
 u''(t) =h(t) \quad\text{for a.e. $t\in(a,b)$}\\
l(u) = 0,
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
we may associate a continuous integral operator
$S: L^1((a,b),\mathbb{R})\to C^1([a,b],\mathbb{R})$, given by
 \begin{equation} \label{ocag}
S(u)(t)=\int_a^b -K(t,s)u(s)ds\hfill
\end{equation}
where $K$ is Green's function for (\ref{zaglsl}). Let us observe
 that $S(-h)=u$ if and only if $u\in C^1([a,b],\mathbb{R})$,
$u':[a,b]\to \mathbb{R} $  is absolutely continuous and $u$ is a solution of
(\ref{zaglsl}).
Let us recall that if $h \leq  0$, $h\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^k)$ and $u\in C^2([a,b],\mathbb{R}) $  satisfies
(\ref{zaglsl}) then $u \geq 0$ (cf. \cite{p4}). It is well known
(cf. \cite{c3,h1})
that there exists exactly one eigenvalue $\mu\in\mathbb{R}$ of the
linear eigenvalue problem
\begin{equation} \label{linsl}
\begin{gathered}
 u''(t)+\lambda u(t) = 0 \quad\text{for } t\in(a,b) \\
 l(u)=0
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
an  eigenvector $v_{\mu}$, such that $v_{\mu}(t)>0$ for
$t\in (a,b)$ and then $\mu>0$.
 Hence  the set of eigenvalues of the integral operator $S$
for which there exists non\--negative eigenvector is equal to
$\Lambda=\{\mu^{-1}\}$.
 We will also need the  linear continuous operator
$T:C^1([a,b],\mathbb{R})\to C([a,b],\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R})$ given by $T(u)(t)=(u(t),u'(t))$ for
$t\in[a,b]$. In what follows  we will  use the following existence
theorem which is some  modification of Theorem \ref{thm1} for the
integro-differential  inclusions of weakly completely continuous
type
\begin{equation}
u(t)\in\int_a^b -K(t,s)F(s,u(s),u'(s))ds \quad  \text{for all }
 t\in [a,b].  \label{e3}
\end{equation}

\begin{theorem}\label{thm3}
Let  $K:[a,b]^2\to\mathbb{R}$ be  Green's function for \eqref{zaglsl}
 and let a multi-valued mapping   $F:[a,b]\times\mathbb{R}
\times\mathbb{R}\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R})$  satisfies
\eqref{wccs}, \eqref{cog} and
for every  $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $\delta > 0$
such that
\begin{equation} \label{tw3:one}
  D(F(t,x,y), \{m_1 p(x)\})\leq\varepsilon(|x|+|y|)  \quad
\text{ for $t\in[a,b]$ and $|x|+|y|\leq \delta$};
\end{equation}
for every  $\varepsilon>0$ there exists
$R_0 > 0$ such that
\begin{equation}  \label{linn}
D(F(t,x,y), \{m_2 p(x)\})\leq\varepsilon(|x|+|y|) \quad
\text{ for $t\in[a,b]$ and $|x|+|y|\geq R_0$};
\end{equation}
with constants $m_1,m_2$ such that  $ m_2<\mu <m_1$.
Then there exists at least one non-trivial solution of  integral
inclusion \eqref{e3}.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
 Let $f:(0,+\infty)\times C^1([a,b],\mathbb{R})\to \mathop{\rm cf}(C^1([a,b],\mathbb{R}))$
be a multi-valued mapping defined by
$$
f(\lambda, u)=u-\lambda S\varphi T(u) ,
$$
where
$\varphi: C([a,b],\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R})\to \mathop{\rm cf}(L^1(a,b))$ is
a weakly completely continuous multi-valued mapping  such
that
$$
\varphi(u,v)\subseteq\{w\in L^1(a,b):  w(t)\in F(t,u(t),v(t))\quad
\text{a.e. on } [a,b]\}.
$$
Let the mapping $S: L^1((a,b),\mathbb{R})\to C^1([a,b],\mathbb{R})$ be as in (\ref{ocag}).
By Proposition \ref{Pru} and the well known properties of Green's
function, we see that the multi-valued mapping $S\varphi T:
C^1([a,b],\mathbb{R})\to \mathop{\rm cf}(C^1([a,b],\mathbb{R}))$  is completely continuous.
Essentially  the same reasoning as in Theorem \ref{thm1} proves this
theorem.
\end{proof}

Now from Theorem \ref{thm3} and Proposition \ref{lbcf} we obtain
an existence Theorem for differential inclusions with Sturm-Liouville
conditions.


\begin{theorem}\label{thm5}
Let   $F:[a,b]\times \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathop{\rm cl}(\mathbb{R}^k)$  be an
integrably bounded multi-valued mapping such that one of the
hypotheses \eqref{mlsc},  \eqref{mc}, \eqref{lsc} or \eqref {musc}
holds. If, moreover $F$
satisfies \eqref{tw3:one} and \eqref{linn}
with constants $m_1,m_2$ such that  $ m_2<\mu <m_1$.
Then there exists at least one
non-trivial solution of boundary value problem \eqref{zagsl}.
\end{theorem}
