A Filippov approximation theorem for strengthened one-sided Lipschitz differential inclusions

Abstract We consider differential inclusions with strengthened one-sided Lipschitz (SOSL) right-hand sides. The class of SOSL multivalued maps is wider than the class of Lipschitz ones and a subclass of the class of one-sided Lipschitz maps. We prove a Filippov approximation theorem for the solutions of such differential inclusions with perturbations in the right-hand side, both of the set of the velocities (outer perturbations) and of the state (inner perturbations). The obtained estimate of the distance between the approximate and exact solution extends the known Filippov estimate for Lipschitz maps to SOSL ones and improves the order of approximation with respect to the inner perturbation known for one-sided Lipschitz (OSL) right-hand sides from $$\frac{1}{2}$$ 1 2 to 1.
