Abstract

Sufficient conditions for the invariance of evolution problems governed by perturbations of (possibly nonlinear) mm-accretive operators are provided. The conditions for the invariance with respect to sublevel sets of a constraint functional are expressed in terms of the Dini derivative of that functional, outside the considered sublevel set in directions determined by the governing mm-accretive operator. An approach for non-reflexive Banach spaces is developed and some result improving a recent paper [P. Cannarsa, G. Da Prato, H. Frankowska, Invariance of quasi-dissipative systems in Banach spaces. J. Math. Anal. App. 457 (2018), 1173-1187] is presented. Applications to nonlinear obstacle problems and age-structured population models are presented in spaces of continuous functions where advantages of that approach are taken. Moreover, some new abstract criteria for the so-called strict invariance are derived and their direct applications to problems with barriers are shown.
