Measure Differential Equation with a Nonlinear Growth/Decay Term

Abstract

We obtain an existence result for a Measure Differential Equation with an additional nonlinear growth/decay term that may change the sign. The proof requires a modification of approximating schemes proposed by Piccoli and Rossi. The new scheme combines model discretisation with the exponential solution of the nonlinear growth/decay and hence preserves nonnegativity of the measure. Furthermore, we formulate a simpler analytic condition on the Measure Vector Field which substantially simplifies the previous proof of continuity of solutions with respect to initial data.
