Introduction. In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of solutions to some classes of initial value problems for first and second order impulsive functional and neutral functional differential inclusions. Initially, in Section 3, we will consider the first order impulsive functional differential inclusion y′(t) ∈ F (t, yt), a.e. t ∈ J := [0, T ], t 6= τk(y(t)), y(t+) = Ik(y(t−)), t = τk(y(t)), k = 1, . . . ,m, (1.1) y(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0], where F : J × D → P(IR) is a multivalued map with nonempty compact values, D = {ψ : [−r, 0] → IR;ψ is continuous everywhere except for a finite number of points t̄ at which ψ(t̄−) and ψ(t̄+) exist and ψ(t̄−) = ψ(t̄)}, φ ∈ D, 0 < r < ∞, τk : IR → IR, Ik : IR → IR, k = = 1, 2, . . . ,m, are given functions satisfying some assumptions that will be specified later. For any function y defined on [−r, T ] and any t ∈ J, we denote by yt the element of D defined by yt(θ) = y(t+ θ), θ ∈ [−r, 0]. Here yt(·) represents the history of the state from time t − r up to the present time t. Later, in c© A. Belarbi, M. Benchohra, A. Ouahab, 2007 ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 443 444 A. BELARBI, M. BENCHOHRA, A. OUAHAB Section 4, we study the second order impulsive functional differential inclusion of the form y′′ ∈ F (t, yt), a.e. t ∈ J := [0, T ], t 6= τk(y(t)), y(t+) = Ik(y(t−)), t = τk(y(t)), (1.2) y′(t+) = Ik(y(t−)), t = τk(y(t)), k = 1, . . . ,m, y(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0], y′(0) = η, where F, Ik, and φ are as in problem (1.1), Ik ∈ C(IR, IR) and η ∈ IR. Sections 5 and 6 are devoted to the existence of solutions for initial value problems for first and second order impulsive neutral functional differential inclusions. More precisely, in these last sections, we consider the IVPs d dt [y(t)− g(t, yt)] ∈ F (t, yt), a.e. t ∈ J = [0, T ], t 6= τk(y(t)), y(t+) = Ik(y(t−)), t = τk(y(t)), k = 1, . . . ,m, (1.3) y(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0], where F, Ik are as in problem (1.1), g : J ×D → IR is a given function, and d dt [y′(t)− g(t, yt)] ∈ F (t, yt), a.e. t ∈ J = [0, T ], t 6= τk(y(t)), y(t+) = Ik(y(t−)), t = τk(y(t)), (1.4) y′(t+) = Ik(y(t−)), t = τk(y(t)), k = 1, . . . ,m, y(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0], y′(0) = η, where F, Ik, φ, g, η and Ik are as in the above cited problems. The theory of impulsive differential equations have become more important in recent years in some mathematical models of real processes and phenomena studied in physics, chemical technology, population dynamics, biotechnology and economics. There has been a significant development in impulse theory, in recent years, especially in the area of impulsive differential equations with fixed moments; see the monographs of Bainov and Simeonov [1], Lakshmi- kantham et al. [2], and Samoilenko and Perestyuk [3] and the references therein. The theory of impulsive differential equations with variable times is relatively less developed due to the difficulties created by the state-dependent impulses. Recently, some interesting extensions to impulsive differential equations with variable times have been done by Bajo and Liz [4], Fri- gon and O’Regan [5 – 7], Kaul et al. [8], Kaul and Liu [9, 10] Lakshmikantham et al. [11, 12], ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 NONCONVEX VALUED IMPULSIVE FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL INCLUSIONS WITH VARIABLE TIMES 445 Liu and by Ballinger [13] and Vatsala and Vasundara Devi [14, 15]. Very recently, by mean of Schaefer’s theorem and the concept of upper and lower solutions, Benchohra et al. [16 – 18] have considered different classes of impulsive functional differential equations. The same tools have been applied to a variety of impulsive functional differential inclusions with convex valued right-hand side by the same authors [19, 20]. The main theorems of this paper extend those considered by Benchohra et al. [19, 20]. Our approach here is based on the Schaefer’s fixed point theorem [21, p. 29] combined with a selection theorem due to Bressan and Colombo [22] for lower semicontinuous multivalued operators with nonempty closed and decomposable values. 2. Preliminaries. In this section, we introduce notations, definitions, and preliminary facts from multivalued analysis which are used throughout this paper. By C(J, IR) we denote the Banach space of all continuous functions from J into IR with the norm ‖y‖∞ := sup{|y(t)| : t ∈ J}. For φ ∈ D the norm of φ is defined by ‖φ‖D = sup{|φ(θ)| : θ ∈ [−r, 0]}. L1([0, T ], IR) denotes the Banach space of measurable functions y : J −→ IR which are Lebesgue integrable normed by ‖y‖L1 := T∫ 0 |y(t)|dt for all y ∈ L1(J, IR). ACi([0, T ], IR) is the space of i-times differentiable functions y : [0, T ] → IR, whose ith deri- vative, y(i), is absolutely continuous. LetA be a subset of [0, T ]×D. A isL⊗B measurable ifA belongs to the σ-algebra generated by all sets of the form J ×D, where J is Lebesgue measurable in J and D is Borel measurable inD.A subsetA of L1([0, T ], IR) is decomposable if for all u, v ∈ A and J ⊂ [0, T ] measurable, the function uχJ + vχJ−J ∈ A, where χJ stands for the characteristic function of J. Let E be a Banach space, X a nonempty closed subset of E and G : X → P(E) a multivalued operator with nonempty closed values.G is lower semi-continuous (l.s.c.) if the set {x ∈ X : G(x)∩B 6= 6= ∅} is open for any open set B in E. G has a fixed point if there is x ∈ X such that x ∈ G(x). For more details on multivalued maps we refer to the books of Deimling [23], Górniewicz [24] and Hu and Papageorgiou [25]. Definition 2.1. Let Y be a separable metric space and let N : Y → P(L1([0, T ], IR)) be a multivalued operator. We say N has property (BC) if 1) N is lower semi-continuous (l.s.c.); 2) N has nonempty closed and decomposable values. Let F : J × D → P(IR) be a multivalued map with nonempty compact values. Assign to F the multivalued operator F : C([−r, T ], IR) → P(L1([0, T ], IR)) ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 446 A. BELARBI, M. BENCHOHRA, A. OUAHAB by letting F(y) = {w ∈ L1([0, T ], IR) : w(t) ∈ F (t, yt) for a.e. t ∈ [0, T ]}. The operator F is called the Niemytzki operator associated with F. Definition 2.2. Let F : J × D → P(IR) be a multivalued function with nonempty compact values. We say F is of lower semi-continuous type (l.s.c. type) if its associated Niemytzki operator F is lower semi-continuous and has nonempty closed and decomposable values. Next, we state a selection theorem due to Bressan and Colombo in [22]. Theorem 2.1. Let Y be a separable metric space and let N : Y → P(L1([0, T ], IR)) be a multivalued operator which has property (BC). Then N has a continuous selection; i.e., there exists a continuous function (single-valued) g : Y → L1(J, IR) such that g(y) ∈ N(y) for every y ∈ Y. Let us introduce the following hypotheses which are assumed hereafter: (H1) F : [0, T ]×D −→ P(IR) is a nonempty, compact-valued, multivalued map such that: a) (t, u) 7→ F (t, u) is L ⊗ B measurable; b) u 7→ F (t, u) is lower semi-continuous for a.e. t ∈ [0, T ]; (H2) for each r > 0, there exists a function hr ∈ L1([0, T ], IR+) such that ‖F (t, u)‖P := sup{|v| : v ∈ F (t, u)} ≤ hr(t) for a.e. t ∈ [0, T ]; and for u ∈ D with ‖u‖D ≤ r. The following lemma is crucial in the proof of our main theorem: Lemma 2.1 [26]. Let F : [0, T ]×D → P(IR) be a multivalued map with nonempty, compact values. Assume (H1) and (H2) hold. Then F is of l.s.c. type. 3. First order impulsive FDIs. The main result of this section concerns the IVP (1.1). Before stating and proving this one, we give the definition of a solution of the IVP (1.1). We shall consider the space Ω = {y : [0, T ] −→ IR : there exist 0 < t1 < . . . < tm < T such that tk = τk(y(tk)), yk ∈ C(Jk, IR), k = 0, . . . ,m, and there exist y(t−k ) and y(t+k ), k = 1, . . . ,m, with y(t−k ) = y(tk)}. Here yk := y/Jk , k = 0, . . . ,m, Jk = (tk, tk+1], t0 = 0 and tm+1 = T. PC = {y : [−r, T ] → IR : y ∈ D ∩ Ω}. Definition 3.1. A function y ∈ PC ∩ ∪m k=0AC((tk, tk+1), IR) is said to be a solution of (1.1) if there exists v(t) ∈ F (t, yt) a.e. t ∈ [0, T ] such that y′(t) = v(t) a.e. t ∈ [0, T ], t 6= τk(y(t)), y(t+) = Ik(y(t)), t = τk(y(t)), k = 1, . . . ,m and y(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0]. We are now in a position to state and prove our existence result for the problem (1.1). We first list the following additional hypotheses. ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 NONCONVEX VALUED IMPULSIVE FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL INCLUSIONS WITH VARIABLE TIMES 447 (H3) The functions τk ∈ C1(IR, IR) for k = 1, . . . ,m. Moreover, 0 < τ1(x) < . . . < τm(x) < T for all x ∈ IR. (H4) There exist constants ck > 0 such that |Ik(x)| ≤ ck for each x ∈ IR, k = 1, . . . ,m. (H5) There exists a continuous nondecreasing function ψ : [0,+∞) −→ (0,+∞), and p ∈ L1([0, T ], IR+) such that ‖F (t, u)‖P ≤ p(t)ψ(‖u‖D) for a.e. u ∈ [0, T ] and each u ∈ D with ∞∫ 1 dγ ψ(γ) = +∞. (H6) For all (t, x) ∈ [0, T ]× IR and for all yt ∈ D we have τ ′k(x)v(t) 6= 1 for k = 1, . . . ,m, for all v ∈ F(y). (H7) For all x ∈ IR τk(Ik(x)) ≤ τk(x) < τk+1(Ik(x)) for k = 1, . . . ,m− 1. Theorem 3.1. Suppose that hypotheses (H1 ) – (H7 ), are satisfied. Then the impulsive initial value problem (1.1) has at least one solution. Proof. (H1) and (H2) imply, by Lemma 2.1, that F is of lower semi-continuous type. Then from Theorem 2.1 there exists a continuous function f : C([−r, T ], IR) → L1([0, T ], IR) such that f(y) ∈ F(y) for all y ∈ PC. Step 1. Consider the problem, y′(t) = f(yt), t ∈ [0, T ], (3.1) y(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0]. It is obvious that if y ∈ C([−r, T ], IR) is a solution of the problem (3.1), then y is a solution to the problem (1.1). Transform the problem into a fixed point problem. Consider the operator N : C([−r, T ], IR) → C([−r, T ], IR) defined by: N(y)(t) :=  φ(t) if t ∈ [−r, 0], φ(0) + t∫ 0 f(ys)ds if t ∈ [0, T ]. ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 448 A. BELARBI, M. BENCHOHRA, A. OUAHAB We shall show that N is a continuous and completely continuous operator. Claim 1. N is continuous. Let {yn} be a sequence such that yn −→ y in C([−r, T ], IR). Then |N(yn(t))−N(y(t))| ≤ t∫ 0 |f(yns)− f(ys)|ds ≤ T∫ 0 |f(yns)− f(ys)|ds. Since the function f is continuous, then ‖N(yn)−N(y)‖∞ ≤ ‖f(yn)− f(y)‖L1 → 0 as n → ∞. Claim 2. N maps bounded sets into bounded sets in C([−r, T ], IR). Indeed, it is enough to show that for any q > 0 there exists a positive constant ` such that, for each y ∈ Bq := {y ∈ C([−r, T ], IR) : ‖y‖∞ ≤ q}, we have ‖N(y)‖∞ ≤ `. From (H2) and (H3) we have |N(y)(t)| ≤ ‖φ‖D + t∫ 0 |f(ys)|ds ≤ ‖φ‖D + ‖hq‖L1 = `. Claim 3. N maps bounded sets into equicontinuous sets of C([−r, T ], IR). Let τ1, τ2 ∈ [0, T ], τ1 < τ2, and Bq be a bounded set of C([−r, T ], IR). Let y ∈ Bq. Then |N(y)(τ2)−N(y)(τ1)| ≤ τ2∫ τ1 hq(s)ds. As τ2 −→ τ1 the right-hand side of the above inequality tends to zero. The equicontinuity for the cases τ1 < τ2 ≤ 0 and τ1 ≤ 0 ≤ τ2 is obvious. As a consequence of Claims 1 to 3, together with the Arzela – Ascoli theorem, we conclude that N := C([−r, T ], IR) −→ C([−r, T ], IR) is continuous and completely continuous. Claim 4. Now it remains to show that the set E(N) := {y ∈ C([−r, T ], IR) : y = λN(y) for some 0 < λ < 1} is bounded. Let y ∈ E(N). Then y = λN(y) for some 0 < λ < 1. Thus y(t) = λ φ(0) + t∫ 0 f(ys) ds  , t ∈ [0, T ]. ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 NONCONVEX VALUED IMPULSIVE FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL INCLUSIONS WITH VARIABLE TIMES 449 This implies by (H5) that for each t ∈ [0, T ] we have |y(t)| ≤ ‖φ‖D + t∫ 0 p(s)ψ(‖ys‖D)ds. (3.2) We consider the function µ defined by µ(t) := sup{|y(s)| : −r ≤ s ≤ t}, 0 ≤ t ≤ T. Let t∗ ∈ [−r, t] be such that µ(t) = |y(t∗)|. If t∗ ∈ J, by inequality (3.2) we have for t ∈ J µ(t) ≤ ‖φ‖D + t∫ 0 p(s)ψ(µ(s))ds. (3.3) If t∗ ∈ [−r, 0] then µ(t) = ‖φ‖D and the inequality (3.3) holds. Let us take the right-hand side of the inequality (3.3) as v(t). Then we have c = v(0) = ‖φ‖D, µ(t) ≤ v(t), t ∈ J, and v′(t) = p(t)ψ(µ(t)), t ∈ [0, T ]. Using the nondecreasing character of ψ we get v′(t) ≤ p(t)ψ(v(t)), t ∈ [0, T ]. By using (H5) this implies for each t ∈ [0, T ] that v(t)∫ v(0) dτ ψ(τ) ≤ T∫ 0 p(s)ds < +∞. This inequality implies that there exists a constant K such that v(t) ≤ K, t ∈ J, and hence µ(t) ≤ K, t ∈ [0, T ]. Since for every t ∈ [0, T ], ‖yt‖D ≤ µ(t), we have ‖y‖∞ ≤ K ′ := max{‖φ‖D,K}, where K ′ depends only on T and on the functions p and ψ. This shows that E(N) is bounded. Set X := C([−r, T ], IR). As a consequence of Schaefer’s theorem (see [21, p. 29]), we deduce that N has a fixed point y which is a solution to problem (3.1). Denote this solution by y1. Define the function rk,1(t) = τk(y1(t))− t for t ≥ 0. ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 450 A. BELARBI, M. BENCHOHRA, A. OUAHAB (H3) implies that rk,1(0) 6= 0 for k = 1, . . . ,m. If rk,1(t) 6= 0 on [0, T ] for k = 1, . . . ,m, i.e., t 6= τk(y1(t)) on [0, T ] and for k = 1, . . . ,m, then y1 is a solution of the problem (1.1). It remains to consider the case when r1,1(t) = 0 for some t ∈ [0, T ]. Now since r1,1(0) 6= 0 and r1,1 is continuous, there exists t1 > 0 such that r1,1(t1) = 0, and r1,1(t) 6= 0 for all t ∈ [0, t1). Thus by (H3) we have rk,1(t) 6= 0 for all t ∈ [0, t1), and k = 1, . . . ,m. Step 2. Consider now the following problem: y′(t) = f(yt), a.e. t ∈ [t1, T ], (3.4) y(t) = y1(t), t ∈ [t1 − r, t1], y(t+1 ) = I1(y1(t−1 )). Set C∗ = C([t1 − r, t1], IR) ∩ C1, where C1 = { y ∈ C((t1, T ], IR) : y(t+1 ) exists } . Transform the problem (3.4) into a fixed point problem. Consider the operator N1 : C∗ → C∗ defined by N1(y)(t) :=  y1(t) if t ∈ [t1 − r, t1], I1(y1(t1)) + t∫ t1 f(ys) ds if t ∈ (t1, T ]. As in Step 1 we can show that N1 is continuous and completely continuous. Now we prove only that the set E(N1) := {y ∈ C∗ : y = λN1(y) for some 0 < λ < 1} ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 NONCONVEX VALUED IMPULSIVE FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL INCLUSIONS WITH VARIABLE TIMES 451 is bounded. Let y ∈ E(N1). Then y = λN1(y) for some 0 < λ < 1. Thus y(t) = λ I1(y(t−1 )) + t∫ t1 f(ys) ds  , t ∈ [t1, T ]. This implies by (H4) and (H5) that for each t ∈ [t1, T ] we have |y(t)| ≤ c1 + t∫ t1 p(s)ψ(‖ys‖D)ds. (3.5) We consider the function µ defined by µ(t) := sup{|y(s)| : t1 − r ≤ s ≤ t}, t1 ≤ t ≤ T. Let t∗ ∈ [r− t1, t] be such that µ(t) = |y(t∗)|. If t∗ ∈ [t1 − r, T ], by inequality (3.5) we have for t ∈ [t1 − r, T ] µ(t) ≤ c1 + t∫ t1 p(s)ψ(µ(s))ds. (3.6) If t∗ ∈ [t1 − r, t1] then µ(t) = ‖y1‖∞ and the inequality (3.6) holds. Let us take the right-hand side of the inequality (3.6) as v(t). Then we have c∗ = v(t1) = c1, µ(t) ≤ v(t), t ∈ [t1, T ], and v′(t) = p(t)ψ(µ(t)), t ∈ [t1, T ]. Using the nondecreasing character of ψ we get v′(t) ≤ p(t)ψ(v(t)), t ∈ [t1, T ]. By using (H5) this implies for each t ∈ [t1, T ] that v(t)∫ v(t1) dτ ψ(τ) ≤ T∫ 0 p(s)ds < +∞. This inequality implies that there exists a constant K such that v(t) ≤ K1, t ∈ [t1, T ], and hence µ(t) ≤ K1, t ∈ [t1, T ]. Since for every t ∈ [t1, T ], ‖yt‖D ≤ µ(t), we have ‖y‖∞ ≤ K2 := max{‖y1‖∞,K1}, ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 452 A. BELARBI, M. BENCHOHRA, A. OUAHAB where K2 depends only on T and on the functions p, ψ1 and ψ. This shows that E(N1) is bounded. Set X := C([t1− r, T ], IR). As a consequence of Schaefer’s theorem we deduce that N1 has a fixed point y which is a solution to problem (3.4). Denote this solution by y2. Define rk,2(t) = τk(y2(t))− t for t ≥ t1. If rk,2(t) 6= 0 on (t1, T ] and for all k = 1, . . . ,m then y(t) = { y1(t) if t ∈ [0, t1], y2(t) if t ∈ (t1, T ], is a solution of the problem (1.1). It remains to consider the case when r2,2(t) = 0 for some t ∈ (t1, T ]. By (H7) we have r2,2(t+1 ) = τ2(y2(t+1 ))− t1 = τ2(I1(y1(t1)))− t1 > τ1(y1(t1))− t1 = r1,1(t1) = 0. Since r2,2 is continuous, there exists t2 > t1 such that r2,2(t2) = 0, and r2,2(t) 6= 0 for all t ∈ (t1, t2). It is clear by (H3) that rk,2(t) 6= 0 for all t ∈ (t1, t2), k = 2, . . . ,m. Suppose now that there is s̄ ∈ (t1, t2] such that r1,2(s̄) = 0. From (H7) it follows that r1,2(t+1 ) = τ1(y2(t+1 ))− t1 = τ1(I1(y1(t1)))− t1 ≤ τ1(y1(t1))− t1 = r1,1(t1) = 0. Thus the function r1,2 attains a nonnegative maximum at some point s1 ∈ (t1, T ]. Since y′2(t) = f(y2t), ISSN 1562-3076.

Therefore τ ′1(y2(s1)).f(y2s1 ) = 1, which contradicts (H6). Step 3. We continue this process and taking into account that ym+1 := y ∣∣∣ [tm,T ] is a solution to the problem y′(t) = f(yt), a.e. t ∈ (tm, T ), y(t) = ym(t), t ∈ [tm − r, tm], y(t+m) = Im(ym(t−m)).

Second order impulsive FDIs. In this section we give an existence result for the IVP (1.2). Let us start by defining what we mean by a solution of problem (1.2). Definition 4.1. A function y ∈ PC ∩ ∪m k=0AC 1((tk, tk+1), IR) is said to be a solution of (1.2) if there exists v(t) ∈ F (t, yt) a.e. t ∈ [0, T ] such that y′′(t) = v(t) a.e. on [0, T ], t 6= τk(y(t)), y(t+) = Ik(y(t−)), t = τk(y(t)), y′(t+) = Ik(y(t−)), t = τk(y(t)), k = 1, . . . ,m, y(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0] and y′(0) = η. Theorem 4.1. Assume (H1) – (H7) and the condition (H8) there exist constants dk > 0 such that |Ik(y)| ≤ dk for each y ∈ IR, k = 1, . . . ,m, are satisfied. Then the IVP (1.2) has at least one solution. Proof. (H1) and (H2) imply, by Lemma 2.1, that F is of lower semi-continuous type. Then from Theorem 2.1 there exists a continuous function f : C([−r, T ], IR) → L1([0, T ], IR) such that f(y) ∈ F(y) for all y ∈ C([−r, T ], IR). Step 1. Consider the following problem: y′′(t) = f(yt), t ∈ [0, T ], (4.1) y(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0], y′(0) = η. ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 454 A. BELARBI, M. BENCHOHRA, A.

As in Theorem 3.1 we can show thatN is continuous and completely continuous. Now we prove only that the set E(N) := {y ∈ C([−r, T ], IR) : y = λN(y) for some 0 < λ < 1} is bounded. Let y ∈ E(N). Then y = λN(y) for some 0 < λ < 1. Thus y(t) = λ φ(0) + tη + t∫ 0 (t− s)f(ys)ds  . This implies by (H5) and (H8) that for each t ∈ J we have |y(t)| ≤ ‖φ‖D + T |η|+ t∫ 0 (T − s)p(s)ψ(‖ys‖)ds. (4.2) We consider the function µ defined by µ(t) := sup{|y(s)| : −r ≤ s ≤ t}, 0 ≤ t ≤ T. Let t∗ ∈ [−r, t] be such that µ(t) = |y(t∗)|. If t∗ ∈ J, by the inequality (4.2) we have for t ∈ J |µ(t)| ≤ ‖φ‖D + T |η|+ t∫ 0 (T − s)p(s)ψ(µ(s))ds. (4.3) If t∗ ∈ [−r, 0] then µ(t) = ‖φ‖ and the inequality (4.3) holds. Let us take the right-hand side of inequality (4.3) as v(t). Then we have v(0) = ‖φ‖D + T |η| and v′(t) = (T − t)p(t)ψ(µ(t)), t ∈ [0, T ]. Using the nondecreasing character of ψ we get v′(t) ≤ (T − t)p(t)ψ(v(t)), t ∈ [0, T ]. This implies together with (H5) for each t ∈ [0, T ] that v(t)∫ v(0) dτ ψ(τ) ≤ T∫ 0 (T − s)p(s)ds ≤ T T∫ 0 p(s)ds < +∞. ISSN 1562-3076.

Since for every t ∈ [0, T ], ‖yt‖D ≤ µ(t), we have ‖y‖∞ ≤ max{‖φ‖D, b}, where b depends only on T and on the functions p and ψ. This shows that E(N) is bounded. Set X := C([−r, T ], IR). As a consequence of Schaefer’s theorem we deduce that N has a fixed point y which is a solution to problem (4.1). Denote this solution by y1 and continue as in Theorem 3.1. Step 2. Consider the following problem: y′′(t) = f(yt), a.e. t ∈ [t1, T ], y(t) = y1(t), t ∈ [t1 − r, t1], y(t+1 ) = I1(y1(t−1 )), (4.4) y′(t+1 ) = I1(y1(t−1 )). Consider the operator, N1 : C∗ → C∗ defined by N1(y)(t) :=  y1(t) if t ∈ [t1 − r, t1], I1(y1(t1)) + tI1(y1(t1)) + t∫ t1 (t− s)f(ys) ds if t ∈ (t1, T ]. As in Theorem 3.1 we can show that N1 is continuous and completely continuous. Now we prove only that the set E(N1) := {y ∈ C∗ : y = λN1(y) for some 0 < λ < 1} is bounded. Let y ∈ E(N1). Then y = λN1(y) for some 0 < λ < 1. Thus y(t) = λ I1(y1(t−1 )) + tI1(y1(t−1 )) + t∫ t1 (t− s)f(ys)ds  . This implies by (H4), (H5) and (H8) that for each t ∈ J we have |y(t)| ≤ c1 + Td1 + t∫ t1 (T − s)p(s)ψ(‖ys‖) ds.

(4.6) If t∗ ∈ [t1 − r, t1] then µ(t) = ‖y1‖∞ and the inequality (4.6) holds. Let us take the right-hand side of inequality (4.6) as v(t). Then we have v(t1) = c1 + Td1, and v′(t) = (T − t)p(t)ψ(µ(t)), t ∈ [t1, T ]. Using the nondecreasing character of ψ we get v′(t) ≤ (T − t)p(t)ψ(v(t)), t ∈ [t1, T ]. This implies together with (H5) for each t ∈ [t1, T ] that v(t)∫ v(t1) dτ ψ(τ) ≤ T∫ t1 (T − s)p(s)ds ≤ T T∫ t1 p(s)ds < +∞. This inequality implies that there exists a constant b such that v(t) ≤ b, t ∈ [t1, T ], and hence µ(t) ≤ b, t ∈ [t1, T ]. Since for every t ∈ [t1, T ], ‖yt‖D ≤ µ(t), we have ‖y‖∞ ≤ max{‖y1‖∞, b}, where b depends only on T and on the functions p, and ψ. Set X := C∗. As a consequence of Schaefer’s theorem [21] we deduce that N1 has a fixed point y which is a solution to problem (4.4). Denote this one by y2 and continue as in Step 2 of the Theorem 3.1. Step 3. We continue this process and taking into account that ym+1 := y ∣∣∣ [tm,T ] is a solution to the problem y′′(t) = f(yt), a.e. t ∈ (tm, T ), y(t) = ym(t), t ∈ [tm − r, tm], y(t+m) = Im(ym(t−m)), y′(t+m) = Im(ym−1(t−m)).

In this section we are concerned with the existence of solutions for problem (1.3). Definition 5.1. A function y ∈ Ω ∩ ∪m k=0AC((tk, tk+1), IR) is said to be a solution of (1.3) if there exists v(t) ∈ F (t, yt) a.e. t ∈ [0, T ] such that d dt [y(t)− g(t, yt)] = v(t) a.e. t ∈ [0, T ], t 6= τk(y(t)), y(t+) = Ik(y(t−)), t = τk(y(t)), k = 1, . . . ,m, and y(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0]. We first list the following hypotheses: (A1) the function g is completely continuous and for any bounded set B in C([−r, T ], IR), the set {t → g(t, yt) : y ∈ B} is equicontinuous in C([0, T ], IR) and there exist constants 0 ≤ d1 < 1 and d2 ≥ 0 such that |g(t, u)| ≤ d1‖u‖D + d2, t ∈ [0, T ], u ∈ D, k = 1, . . . ,m; (A2) g is a nonnegative function; (A3) τk is a nonincreasing function and Ik(x) ≤ x for all x ∈ IR, k = 1, . . . ,m; (A4) for all x ∈ IR τk(x) < τk+1(Ik(x)) for k = 1, . . . ,m; (A5) for all t ∈ [0, T ] and for all yt ∈ D we have τ ′k(y(t)− g(t, yt))v(t) 6= 1 for k = 1, . . . ,m for all v ∈ F(y). Theorem 5.1. Assume that hypotheses (H1) – (H5) and (A1) – (A4) hold, then the IVP (1.3) has at least one solution on [−r, T ]. Proof. (H1) and (H2) imply by Lemma 2.1 that F is of lower semi-continuous type. Then from Theorem 2.1 there exists a continuous function f : C([−r, T ], IR) → L1([0, T ], IR) such that f(y) ∈ F(y) for all y ∈ C([−r, T ], IR). Step 1. Consider now the following problem: d dt [y(t)− g(t, yt)] = f(yt), t ∈ [0, T ], (5.1) y(t) = φ(t), t ∈ [−r, 0]. Consider the operator N2 : C([−r, T ], IR) → C([−r, T ], IR) defined by N2(y)(t) :=  φ(t) if t ∈ [−r, 0], φ(0)− g(0, φ(0)) + g(t, yt) + t∫ 0 f(ys)ds if t ∈ [0, T ]. ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 458 A. BELARBI, M. BENCHOHRA, A. OUAHAB Clearly from (A1) N2 is a continuous and completely continuous operator. Now it remains to show that the set E(N2) := {y ∈ C([−r, T ], IR) : y = λN2(y) for some λ ∈ (0, 1)} is bounded. Let y ∈ E(N2). Then λN2(y) = y for some 0 < λ < 1 and y(t) = λ φ(0)− g(0, φ(0)) + g(t, yt) + t∫ 0 f(ys)ds  . This implies by (H5) and (A1) that for each t ∈ [0, T ] we have |y(t)| ≤ |φ(0)|+ |g(0, φ(0))|+ |g(t, yt)|+ t∫ 0 p(s)ψ(‖ys‖)ds or |y(t)| ≤ (1 + d1)‖φ‖D + 2d2 + d1‖yt‖+ t∫ 0 p(s)ψ(‖ys‖)ds. (5.2) We consider the function µ defined by µ(t) := sup{|y(s)| : −r ≤ s ≤ t}, t ∈ [0, T ]. Let t∗ ∈ [−r, t] be such that µ = |y(t∗)|. If t∗ ∈ [0, T ], by the inequality (5.2), we have for t ∈ [0, T ] µ(t) ≤ (1 + d1)‖φ‖D + 2d2 + d1µ(t) + t∫ 0 p(s)ψ(µ(s))ds. Thus µ(t) ≤ 1 1− d1 (1 + d1)‖φ‖D + 2d2 + t∫ 0 p(s)ψ(µ(s))ds  . (5.3) If t∗ ∈ [−r, 0] then µ(t) = ‖φ‖D and the inequality (5.3) holds. Let us take the right-hand side of the inequality (5.3) as v(t), then we have v(0) = 1 1− d1 [(1 + d1)‖φ‖D + 2d2] and v′(t) = p(t)ψ(µ(t)). Since ψ is nondecreasing we have v′(t) = p(t)ψ(µ(t)) ≤ p(t)ψ(v(t)) for all t ∈ [0, T ]. ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 NONCONVEX VALUED IMPULSIVE FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL INCLUSIONS WITH VARIABLE TIMES 459 From this inequality, it follows that t∫ 0 v′(s) ψ(v(s)) ds ≤ t∫ 0 p(s)ds. By using (H5) we then have v(t)∫ v(0) du ψ(u) ≤ t∫ 0 p(s)ds ≤ T∫ 0 p(s) ds < +∞. This inequality implies that there exists a constant b depending only on T and on the function p such that |y(t)| ≤ b for each t ∈ [0, T ]. Hence ‖y‖∞ ≤ b. This shows that E(N2) is bounded, and hence N2 has a fixed point y which is a solution to problem (5.1). Denote this solution by y1. Define the function rk,1(t) = τk(y1(t))− t for t ≥ 0. (H3) implies that rk,1(0) 6= 0 for k = 1, . . . ,m. If rk,1(t) 6= 0 on [0, T ] for k = 1, . . . ,m, i.e., t 6= τk(y1(t)) on [0, T ] and for k = 1, . . . ,m, then y1 is a solution of the problem (1.3). It remains to consider the case when r1,1(t) = 0 for some t ∈ [0, T ]. Now since r1,1(0) 6= 0 and r1,1 is continuous, there exists t1 > 0 such that r1,1(t1) = 0 and r1,1(t) 6= 0 for all t ∈ [0, t1). Thus by (H3) we have rk,1(t) 6= 0 for all t ∈ [0, t1), k = 1, . . . ,m. ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 460 A. BELARBI, M. BENCHOHRA, A. OUAHAB Step 2. Consider now the following problem: d dt [y(t)− g(t, yt)] = f(yt), a.e. t ∈ [t1, T ], (5.4) y(t) = y1(t), t ∈ [t1 − r, t1], y(t+1 ) = I1(y1(t−1 )). Consider the operator N2 : C∗ → C∗ defined by N2(y)(t) :=  y1(t) if t ∈ [t1 − r, t1], I1(y1(t1))− g(t1, y1t1) + g(t, yt) + t∫ t1 f(ys)ds if t ∈ [t1, T ]. As in Step 1 we can show that N2 is continuous and completely continuous, and the set E(N2) := {y ∈ C∗ : y = λN2(y) for some 0 < λ < 1} is bounded. Set X := C∗. As a consequence of Schaefer’s theorem we deduce that N2 has a fixed point y which is a solution to problem (5.4). Denote this solution by y2. Define rk,2(t) = τk(y2(t))− t for t ≥ t1. If rk,2(t) 6= 0 on (t1, T ] and for all k = 1, . . . ,m then y(t) =  y1(t) if t ∈ [0, t1], y2(t) if t ∈ (t1, T ], is a solution of the problem (1.3). It remains to consider the case when r2,2(t) = 0 for some t ∈ (t1, T ]. By (A4) we have r2,2(t+1 ) = τ2(y2(t+1 ))− t1 = τ2(I1(y1(t1)))− t1 > τ1(y1(t1))− t1 = r1,1(t1) = 0. Since r2,2 is continuous, there exists t2 > t1 such that r2,2(t2) = 0, and r2,2(t) 6= 0 for all t ∈ (t1, t2). ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 4 NONCONVEX VALUED IMPULSIVE FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL INCLUSIONS WITH VARIABLE TIMES 461 It is clear by (H3) that rk,2(t) 6= 0 for all t ∈ (t1, t2), k = 2, . . . ,m. Suppose now that there is s̄ ∈ (t1, t2] such that r1,2(s̄) = 0. Consider the function L1(t) = τ1(y2(t)− g(t, y2t))− t. From (A2) – (A4) it follows that L1(s̄) = τ1(y2(s̄)− g(s̄, y2s̄))− s̄ ≥ τ1(y2(s̄))− s̄ = r1,2(s̄) = 0. Thus the function L1 attains a nonnegative maximum at some point s1 ∈ (t1, T ]. Since d dt [y2(t)− g(t, y2t)] = f(y2t), it follows that L′1(s1) = τ ′1(y2(s1)− g(s1, y2s1 )) d dt [y2(s1)− g(s1, y2s1 )]− 1 = 0. Therefore [τ ′1(y2(s1)− g(s1, y2s1 ))]f(y2s1 ) = 1, which contradicts (A5). Step 3. We continue this process and taking into account that ym+1 := y ∣∣∣ [tm,T ] is a solution to the problem d dt [y(t)− g(t, yt)] = f(yt), a.e. t ∈ (tm, T ), y(t) = ym(t), t ∈ [tm−1 − r, tm−1], y(t+m) = Im(ym(t−m)).
