Abstract
In this note we prove the existence of mild solutions for nonlocal problems governed by semilinear second order differential inclusions which involves a nonlinear term driven by an operator. A first result is obtained in suitable Banach spaces in the lack of compactness both on the fundamental operator, generated by the linear part, and on the nonlinear multivalued term. This purpose is achieved by combining a fixed point theorem, a selection theorem and a containment theorem. Further we provide another existence result in reflexive spaces by using the classical Hahn–Banach theorem and a new selection proposition, proved here, for a multimap guided by an operator. This setting allows us to remove some assumptions required in the previous existence theorem. As a consequence of this last result we obtain the controllability of a problem driven by a wave equation on which an appropriate perturbation acts.
