The class of functional differential inclusions contains a large variety of differential inclusions and control systems. In particular, this class covers the differential inclusions, the differential - difference inclusions and the Voltera inclusions. For a detailed discussion on this topic we refer to \cite{ac}. Let $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ be the $m$-dimensional Euclidean space with norm $\|\cdot\|$ and scalar product $\langle \cdot,\cdot\rangle $. Let $\sigma $ be a positive number and $\mathcal{C}_{\sigma }:=\mathcal{C}([-\sigma ,0], \mathbb{R}^{m})$ the Banach space of continuous functions from $[-\sigma ,0]$ to $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ with the norm $\|x(.)\|_{\sigma }:=\sup\{\|x(t)\|;t\in [ -\sigma ,0]\}$. For each $t\in [ 0,T]$, we define the operator $T(t)$ from $\mathcal{C}([-\sigma ,T],\mathbb{R}^{m})$ to $\mathcal{C}_{\sigma }$ as follows: $(T(t)x)(s):=x(t+s)$, $s\in [-\sigma ,0]$. For a given nonempty subset $K$ of $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ we introduce the set $\mathcal{K}_{0}=:\{\varphi \in \mathcal{C}_{\sigma };\varphi (0)\in K\}$. The aim of this paper is to prove a viability result for the second order functional differential inclusion \begin{equation} x^{\prime\prime}\in F(T(t)x,x^{\prime}),\quad (T(0)x,x^{\prime}(0))=(\varphi _{0},y_{0})\in \mathcal{K}_{0}\times \Omega \label{e1.1} \end{equation} where $\Omega $ is an open set in $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ and $F:\mathcal{C} _{\sigma }\times \Omega \to 2^{\mathbb{R}^{m}}$ is an upper semicontinuous, compact valued multifunction such that $F(\psi ,y)\subset \partial V(y)$ for every $(\psi ,y)\in \mathcal{K}_{0}\times \Omega $ and $V$ is a proper convex and lower semicontinuous function. Bressan, Cellina and Colombo \cite{bcc} prove the existence of local solutions to the Cauchy problem $x^{\prime }\in F(x)$, $x(0)=x_{0}$, where $F $ is upper semicontinuous, cyclically monotone and compact valued multifunction. While Rossi \cite{ro} prove a viability result for this problem. The first viability result for the first order functional differential inclusion was given by Haddad \cite{h1}, \cite{h2} in the case when $F$ is upper semicontinuous with convex compact values. Lupulescu \cite{l2} has been proved the local existence of solutions for nonconvex differential inclusion $x^{\prime }\in F(T(t)x)$, $T(0)x=\varphi _{0}\in \mathcal{C}_{\sigma }$, and the existence of viable solutions for this problem has been studied by Cernea and Lupulescu \cite{cl} in the case when $F$ is upper semicontinuous compact values such that $F(\psi )\subset\partial V(\psi (0))$ for every $\psi \in \mathcal{K}_{0}$. The first viability result for second order differential inclusions \begin{equation} x^{\prime\prime}\in F(x,x^{\prime}),\quad x(0)=x_{0},x^{\prime}(0)=y_{0} \label{e1.2} \end{equation} were given by Cornet and Haddad \cite{ch} in the case in which $F$ is upper semicontinuous and with convex compact values. The nonconvex case has been studied by Lupulescu \cite{l1} and Cernea \cite{c1} in the finite dimensional case. The nonconvex case in Hilbert spaces has been studied by Ibrahim and Alkulaibi \cite{ia}. For other results, references and applications in this framework we refer to the papers: Casting \cite{c1}, Auslender and Mechler \cite{am}, Aghezaaf and Sajid \cite{as}, Morchadi and Sajid \cite{ms}, Marco and Murilio \cite{mm}, Syam \cite{s1} and book of Motreanu and Pavel \cite{mp}. In the paper \cite{hm}, Duc Ha and Monteiro Marques proved the several existence theorems for the nonconvex functional differential inclusions governed by the sweeping process. \section{Preliminaries and statement of the main result} For $x\in \mathbb{R}^{m}$ and $r>0$ let $B(x,r):=\{y\in \mathbb{R}^{m};\|y-x\|0$ there exists $\delta >0$ such that \begin{equation*} F(\psi ,z)\subset F(\varphi ,y)+B(0,\varepsilon ),\text{ }(\forall )(\psi ,z)\in B_{\sigma }(\varphi ,\delta )\times B(y,\delta )\text{.} \end{equation*} This definition of the upper semicontinuous multifunction is less restrictive than the usual (see \cite[Definition 1.1.1]{ac} or \cite[Definition 1.1]{d1}). Actually such a property is called ($\varepsilon $, $\delta $)-upper semicontinuity (see \cite[Definition 1.2]{d1}) and it is only equivalent to the upper semicontinuity for compact-valued multifunctions (see \cite[Proposition 1.1]{d1}). For a multifunction $F:\mathcal{K}_{0}\times \Omega \to 2^{\mathbb{R} ^{m}}$ and for any $(\varphi ,y)\in \mathcal{K}_{0}\times \Omega $ we consider the functional differential inclusion \begin{equation} x^{\prime\prime}\in F(T(t)x,x^{\prime}),\quad T(0)x=\varphi _{0},x^{\prime}(0)=y_{0} \label{e2.1} \end{equation} under the following assumptions: \begin{itemize} \item[(H1)] $K$ is a locally closed subset in $\mathbb{R}^{m}$, $\Omega $ is an open subset $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ and $F:\mathcal{K}_{0}\times \Omega \rightarrow 2^{\mathbb{R}^{m}}$ is upper semicontinuous with compact values; \item[(H2)] There exists a proper convex and lower semicontinuous function $V:\mathbb{R}^{m}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that \begin{equation*} F(\varphi ,y)\subset \partial V(y)\text{ for every }(\varphi ,y)\in \mathcal{K}_{0} \times \Omega ; \end{equation*} \item[(H3)] For every $(\varphi ,y)\in \mathcal{K}_{0}\times \Omega $ and for every $z\in F(\varphi ,y)$ holds the following tangential condition: \begin{equation*} \liminf_{h\downarrow 0}\frac{1}{h^{2}}d(\varphi (0)+hy+\frac{h^{2}}{2}z,K)=0. \end{equation*} \end{itemize} \begin{remark} \label{rmk2.1}\rm A convex function $V:\mathbb{R}^{m}\to \mathbb{R}$ is continuous in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ \cite[Corollary 10.1.1]{r1} and almost everywhere differentiable \cite[Theorem 25.5]{r1}. Therefore, (H2) restricts strongly the multivaluedness of $F$. \end{remark} \begin{definition} \label{def2.1} \rm By a viable solution of the functional differential inclusion \eqref{e2.1} we mean any continuous function $x:[-\sigma ,T]\to \mathbb{R}^{m}$, $T>0$, that is absolutely continuous on $ [0,T]$ with absolutely continuous derivative on $[0,T]$ such that $ T(0)x=\varphi _{0}$ on $[-\sigma ,T]$, $x'(0)=y_{0}$ and \begin{gather*} x''(t)\in F(T(t)x,x'(t)), \quad \text{a.e. on }[0,T], \\ (x(t),x'(t))\in K\times \Omega , \quad\text{for every }t\in [ 0,T]. \end{gather*} \end{definition} Our main result is the following. \begin{theorem} \label{thm3.1} If Assumptions (H1)-(H3) are satisfied, then $K$ is a viable domain for \eqref{e2.1}. \end{theorem} \section{Proof of the main result} We start this section with the following technical result, which will used to prove main result. \begin{lemma} \label{lem3.1} Assume that the hypotheses (H1) and (H3) are satisfied. Then, for each $(\varphi ,y_{0})\in \mathcal{K}_{0}\times \Omega $ there exist $r>0$ and $T>0$ such that $K\cap B(\varphi (0),r)$ is closed and for each $k\in N^{\ast }$ there exist $m( k) \in N^{\ast },t_{k}^{p},x_{k}^{p},y_{k}^{p},z_{k}^{p}$ and a continuous function $x_{k}:[ -\sigma ,T] \to R^{m}$ such that for every $p\in \{0,1,\dots ,m(k)-1\}$ we have: \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] $h_{k}^{p}:=t_{k}^{p+1}-t_{k}^{p}<\frac{1}{k}$ and $t_{k}^{m(k)-1}\leq T0$ such that $K\cap B(\varphi (0),r)$ is closed. Moreover, since $\Omega $ is open set in $\mathbb{R}^{m}$, we can choose $r$ such that $\overline{B}(y_{0},r)\subset \Omega $. By \cite[Proposition 1.1.3]{ac}, $F$ is locally bounded; therefore, we cam assume that there exists $M>0$ such that \begin{equation} \sup \{\|v\|;v\in F( \psi ) ,\psi \in \mathcal{K}_{0}\cap B_{\sigma }( \varphi ,r) \}\leq M. \label{e3.1} \end{equation} Since $\varphi $ is continuous on $[ -\sigma ,0] $ we can choose $\eta >0$ small enough such that \begin{equation} \|\varphi ( t) -\varphi ( s) \|<\frac{r}{4},\text{ for all }t,s\in [ -\sigma ,0] \text{ with }|t-s|<\eta . \label{e3.2} \end{equation} Let \begin{equation} T:=\min \big\{ \eta ,\frac{r}{4(M+1)},\frac{r}{8(\|y_{0}\|+1)},\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{r}{M+1}}\big\} . \label{e3.3} \end{equation} Further on, for a fixed $k\in $\ $\mathbb{N}^{\ast }$, we put $x_{k}(t)=\varphi ( t) $ for every $t\in [ -\sigma ,0] $ and for $p=0$ we take $t_{k}^{0}=0,x_{k}^{0}=\varphi ( 0),y_{k}^{0}=y_{0}$ and we choose an arbitrary element $z_{k}^{0}\in F(\varphi,y_{0})+\frac{1}{k}B$. Also, we can define $t_{k}^{1},x_{k}^{1},y_{k}^{1},z_{k}^{1}$ and $x_{k}$ on $[ 0,t_{k}^{1}] $ in the same way that in the next general case. Suppose that, for a fixed $q\in \mathbb{N}^{\ast }$, we have constructed $t_{k}^{p},x_{k}^{p},y_{k}^{p},z_{k}^{p}$ and $x_{k}$ on $[ 0,t_{k}^{p}] $ such that the conditions $(i)-(vi)$ are satisfied for each $p\in\{1,2,\dots ,q-1\}$. To define the next step $h_{k}^{q}$, we denote by $H_{k}^{q}$ the set of all $h\in (0,\frac{1}{k})$ for which the following conditions are satisfied \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] $h\in (0,T-t_{k}^{q})$; \item[(b)] there exists $u_{k}^{q}\in F(T(t_{k}^{q})x_{k},y_{k}^{q})$ such that $d(u_{k}^{q}+hy_{k}^{q}+\frac{h^{2}}{2}u_{k}^{q},K) \leq \frac{h^{2}}{4k}$. \end{itemize} For a fixed $u\in F(T(t_{k}^{q})x_{k},y_{k}^{q})$, since $(T(t_{k}^{q})x_{k})(0)=x( t_{k}^{q}) =x_{k}^{q}\in K$, using tangential condition (H3) applied in $(T( t_{k}^{q})x_{k},y_{k}^{q})\in \mathcal{K}_{0}\times \Omega $ we obtain that $H_{k}^{q}$ is nonempty and that. Since $H_{k}^{q}\cap [ \frac{d_{k}^{q}}{2},d_{k}^{q}]$ is also nonempty, let us we chose $h_{k}^{q}\in H_{k}^{q}\cap [ \frac{d_{k}^{q}}{2},d_{k}^{q}]$. We define $t_{k}^{q+1}:=t_{k}^{q}+h_{k}^{q}$ and so we have $t_{k}^{q}0$ for every $p\geq p_{1}$, which is in contradiction with $h_{k}^{p}=t_{k}^{p+1}-t_{k}^{p}\to 0$ as $p\to \infty $. This contradiction can be eliminated only of the iterative process is finite, i.e.,if there exists $m( k) \in \mathbb{N}^{\ast }$ such that $t_{k}^{m( k) -1}\leq T0$ and $M>0$ such that $V$ is Lipschitz continuous with the constant $M$ in $\overline{B}(\varphi (0,r))$. We prove that the sequence $x_{k}(\cdot )$, constructed by Lemma \ref{lem3.1}, has a subsequence that converges to a solution of \eqref{e2.1}. First, for every $k\geq 1$ we define the function $\theta_{k}:[0,T]\to [ 0,T]$ by $\theta _{k}( t)=t_{k}^{p} $ for every $t\in [ t_{k}^{p},t_{k}^{p+1}]$. Since $|\theta _{k}( t) -t|\leq \frac{1}{k}$ for every $t\in[ 0,T]$, then $\theta _{k}( t) \to t$ uniformly on $[0,T]$. By the fact that $x_{k}^{p}=x_{k}(\theta _{k}( t) )$ for every $t\in [ t_{k}^{p},t_{k}^{p+1}]$ and for every $k\geq 1$ and by $(v)$ and $(vi)$ we have \begin{equation} x_{k}(\theta _{k}( t) )\in K\cap B(\varphi (0),r),\text{ for every }t\in [ 0,T]\text{ and for every }k\geq 1. \label{e3.18} \end{equation} and \begin{equation} T(\theta _{k}( t) )x_{k}\in \mathcal{K}_{0}\cap B_{\sigma }(\varphi ,r),\text{ for every }t\in [ 0,T]\text{ and for every }k\geq 1. \label{e3.19} \end{equation} Also, by $(iii)$ and $(iv)$ we have \begin{equation} x_{k}''(t)\in F(T(\theta _{k}( t) )x_{k},x_{k}'(\theta _{k}( t) ))+\frac{1}{k}B,\text{ a.e. on }[0,T]\text{ and for every }k\geq 1. \label{e3.20} \end{equation} Moreover, by $(iii)$ and $(iv)$ we have \begin{equation*} x_{k}'(t)=y_{k}^{p}+(t-t_{k}^{p})z_{k}^{p}\text{ for every }t\in [ t_{k}^{p},t_{k}^{p+1}] \end{equation*} and \begin{equation*} x_{k}''(t)=z_{k}^{p}\in F(T(t_{k}^{p})x_{k},y_{k}^{p})+\frac{1 }{k}B\text{ for every }t\in [ t_{k}^{p},t_{k}^{p+1}]. \end{equation*} Hence, by \eqref{e3.3}, \eqref{e3.5}, and \eqref{e3.15} we obtain \begin{gather*} \|x_{k}''(t)\|=\|z_{k}^{p}\|\leq M+1, \\ \|x_{k}'(t)\|\leq \|y_{k}^{p}\|+(t-_{k}^{p})\|z_{k}^{p}\|\leq \|y_{k}^{p}-y_{0}\|+\|y_{0}\|+T(M+1)\leq \|y_{0}\|+2r, \\ \|x_{k}(t)\|\leq \|x_{k}(t)-\varphi (0)\|+\|\varphi (0)\|\leq \|\varphi (0)\|+r\,. \end{gather*} Therefore, $x_{k}''(\cdot )$ is bounded in $L^{2}([0,T], \mathbb{R}^{m})$, $x_{k}(\cdot )$ $x_{k}'(\cdot )$ are bounded in the space $C([0,T],\mathbb{R}^{m})$. Moreover, for all $t',t''\in [ 0,T]$, we have \begin{gather*} \|x_{k}(t')-x_{k}(t'')\|=\|\int_{t'}^{t''}x_{k}'(t)dt\| \leq \int_{t'}^{t''}\|x_{k}'(t)\|dt \leq (\|y_{0}\|+2r)|t'-t''|, \\ \|x_{k}'(t')-x_{k}'(t'')\|=\|\int_{t'}^{t''}x_{k}''(t)dt\| \leq \int_{t'}^{t''}\|x_{k}'(t)\|dt\leq (\|\varphi (0)\|+r)|t'-t''|, \end{gather*} i. e. the sequence $x_{k}(\cdot )$, is equi-lipschitzian and the sequence $x_{k}'(\cdot )$ is equi-uniformly continuous. Hence, by \cite[Theorem 0.3.4]{ac}, there exists a subsequence (again denoted by) $x_{k}(\cdot )$ and an absolutely continuous function $x:[0,T]\to \mathbb{R}^{m}$ such that \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] $x_{k}(\cdot )$ converges uniformly to $x(\cdot )$, \item[(b)] $x_{k}'(\cdot )$ converges uniformly to $x'(\cdot )$, \item[(c)] $x_{k}''(\cdot )$ converges weakly in $L^{2}([0,T], \mathbb{R}^{m})$ to $x''(\cdot )$. \end{itemize} Moreover, since all functions $x_{k}$ agree with $\varphi $ on $[-\sigma ,0], $ we can obviously say that $x_{k}\to x$ on $[-\sigma ,T]$, if we extend $x$ in such a way that $x_{k}=\varphi $ on $[0,T]$. By $(a)$, $(b)$ and the uniformly converges of $\theta _{k}(\cdot )$ to $t$ on $[0,T]$ we deduce that $x_{k}(\theta _{k}(t))\to x(t)$ uniformly on $[0,T]$ and $x_{k}'(\theta _{k}(t))\to x'(t)$\ uniformly on $ [0,T]$. Also, it is clearly that $T(0)x=\varphi $ on $[-\sigma ,0]$. Let us denote the modulus continuity of a function $\psi $ on interval $I$ of $\mathbb{R}$ by \begin{equation*} \omega (\psi ,I,\varepsilon ):=\sup \{\|\psi ( t) -\psi ( s) \|;s,t\in I,|s-t|<\varepsilon \},\varepsilon >0. \end{equation*} Then we have \begin{align*} \|T(\theta _{k}(t))x_{k}-T(t)x_{k}\|_{\sigma } &=\sup_{-\sigma \leq s\leq0} \|x_{k}(\theta _{k}(t)+s)-x_{k}(t+s)\| \\ &\leq \omega (x_{k},[ -\sigma ,T] ,\frac{1}{k})\leq \omega (\varphi ,[ -\sigma ,0] ,\frac{1}{k})+\omega (x_{k},[ 0,T ] ,\frac{1}{k}) \\ &\leq \omega (\varphi ,[ -\sigma ,0] ,\frac{1}{k})+\frac{(\|y_{0}\|+2r)T}{k}, \end{align*} hence \begin{equation} \|T(\theta _{k}(t)x_{k}-T(t)x_{k}\|_{\sigma }\leq \delta _{k} \label{e3.21} \end{equation} for every $k\geq 1$, where $\delta _{k}:=\omega (\varphi ,[ -\sigma ,0] ,\frac{1}{k}) +\frac{(\|y_{0}\|+2r)T}{k}$. Thus, by continuity of $\varphi $, we have $\delta _{k}\to 0$ as $k\to \infty $, hence \begin{equation*} \|T(\theta _{k}(t)x_{k}-T(t)x_{k}\|_{\infty }\to 0\quad \text{as } k\to \infty , \end{equation*} and so, since the uniform convergence of $x_{k}(\cdot )$ to $x(\cdot )$ on $ [ -\sigma ,T] $ implies \begin{equation} T(t)x_{k}\to T(t)x\quad \text{uniformly on }[ 0,T] , \label{e3.22} \end{equation} we deduce that \begin{equation} T(\theta _{k}(t)x_{k}\to T(t)x\quad \text{in }\mathcal{C}_{\sigma }. \label{e3.23} \end{equation} Since $T(\theta _{k}(t))x_{k}\in \mathcal{K}_{0}\cap B_{\sigma }( \varphi ,r) $ for every $t\in [ 0,T] $ and for every $k\geq 1$, thus by \eqref{e3.19}, \eqref{e3.23} and by Remark \ref{rmk3.2} we have $T(t) x\in \mathcal{K}_{0}\cap B_{\sigma }( \varphi ,r) $. Since $\|x_{k}'(t)-x_{k}'(\theta_{k}(t))\|\leq \frac{(M+1)T}{k}$, by \eqref{e3.20} and \eqref{e3.21}, we have \begin{equation} d(T(t)x_{k},x_{k}'(t),x_{k}''(t)),\mathop{\rm graph} (F))\leq \delta _{k}+\frac{(M+1)T+1}{k} \label{e3.24} \end{equation} for every $k\geq 1$. By (H2), (b), (c), \eqref{e3.22} and \cite[Theorem 1.4.1]{ac}, we obtain \begin{equation} x''(t)\in \mathop{\rm co}F(T(t)x,x'( t) )\subset \partial V( x'( t) ) \text{ a.e. on }[ 0,T] , \label{e3.25} \end{equation} where $\mathop{\rm co}$ stands for the closed convex hull. Since the functions $t\to x( t) $ and $t\to V( x'( t) ) $ are absolutely continuous, we obtain from \cite[Lemma 3.3]{b1} and \eqref{e3.25} that \begin{equation*} \frac{d}{dt}V( x'( t) ) =\|x''( t) \|^{2}\quad \text{ a.e. on }[ 0,T] \end{equation*} hence \begin{equation} V(x'(t))-V(x'(0))=\int_{0}^{T}\|x''(t)\|^{2}dt \label{e3.26} \end{equation} On the other hand, since $x_{k}''(t)=z_{k}^{p}$ for every $ t\in [ t_{k}^{p},t_{k}^{p+1}]$, by $(iv)$, there exists $w_{k}^{p}\in \frac{1}{k}B$ such that \begin{equation*} z_{k}^{p}-w_{k}^{p}\in F(T(t_{k}^{p})x_{k},y_{k}^{p})\subset \partial V(x_{k}'(t_{k}^{p})),\quad \forall k\in \mathbb{N}^{\ast } \end{equation*} and so the properties of subdifferential of a convex function imply that, for every $p
