Abstract In this note, we study the oscillating global continua of the differential inclusion of the form
−u + qu ∈ λF(·, u), u (0) = 0, u (1) = 0,
where F is a “set-valued representation” of a function with jump discontinuities along the line segment [0, 1] × {0}, and l Î [0, ∞) is a parameter. The proof of our main result relies on an approximation procedure. Mathematics Subject Classification 2000: 34B16; 34B18.

1 Introduction In recent years, nonsmooth analysis has come to play an important role in functional analysis [1], dynamical systems [2], control theory [3], optimization [4], mechanical systems [5], differential equation [6,7] etc. Since many mathematical and physical problems may be reduced to ODES or PDES with discontinuous nonlinearities, the existence of multiple solutions for differential inclusion problems has been widely investigated [8-19]. In this article, we are concerned with the following differential inclusion problem which raises from a Budyko-North type energy balance climate models:
−u (x) + q(x)u(x) ∈ λF(x, u(x)), u (0) = 0, u (1) = 0
a.e.x ∈ (0, 1),
(1:1)
(see [20-25] and the references therein). In particular, the set-valued right hand side arise from a jump discontinuity of the albedo at the ice-edge in these models. By filling such a gap, one arrives at the set-valued problem (1.1). As in [25], we are here interested in a considerably simplify version as compared to the situation from climate modeling, e.g. a one-dimensional regular Sturm-Liouville differential operator substitutes for a two-dimensional Laplace-Beltrami operator or a singular Legendre-type operator, and the jump discontinuity is transformed to u = 0 in a way, which resembles only locally the climatological problem. © 2012 Yan; licensee Springer.

Notice that if f+(x, 0) ≡ 0, x Î [0, 1], then the differential inclusion problem (1.1) reduces to the BVP of differential equation −u (x) + q(x)u(x) = λf + (x, u(x)), x ∈ (0, 1), (1:2) u (0) = 0, u (1) = 0. In the last
