Abstract Hartman-type conditions are presented for the solvability of a multivalued Dirichlet problem in a Banach space by means of topological degree arguments, bounding functions, and a Scorza-Dragoni approximation technique. The required transversality conditions are strictly localized on the boundaries of given bound sets. The main existence and localization result is applied to a partial integro-differential equation involving possible discontinuities in state variables. Two illustrative examples are supplied. The comparison with classical single-valued results in this field is also made.

1 Introduction In this paper, we will establish sufficient conditions for the existence and localization of strong solutions to a multivalued Dirichlet problem in a Banach space via degree arguments combined with a bound sets technique. More precisely, Hartman-type conditions (cf. []), i.e. sign conditions w.r.t. the first state variable and growth conditions w.r.t. the second state variable, will be presented, provided the right-hand side is a multivalued upper-Carathéodory mapping which is γ -regular w.r.t. the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness γ . The main aim will be two-fold: (i) strict localization of sign conditions on the boundaries of bound sets by means of a technique originated by Scorza-Dragoni [], and (ii) the application of the obtained abstract result (see Theorem . below) to an integro-differential equation involving possible discontinuities in a state variable. The first aim allows us, under some additional restrictions, to extend our earlier results obtained for globally upper semicontinuous right-hand sides and partly improve those for upper-Carathéodory righthand sides (see []). As we shall see, the latter aim justifies such an abstract setting, because the problem can be transformed into the form of a differential inclusion in a Hilbert L space. Roughly speaking, problems of this type naturally require such an abstract setting. In order to understand in a deeper way what we did and why, let us briefly recall classical results in this field and some of their extensions. Hence, consider firstly the Dirichlet problem in the simplest vector form: x¨ (t) = f (t, x(t), x˙ (t)), x() = x() = ,

t ∈ [, ],
