An equal interest has been shown to the related integral problems and, more recently, for practical reasons (arising, e.g., from the theory of optimal control), to the set-valued associated problems. Such studies cover some classical cases like usual differential inclusions (when $\mu$ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure), difference inclusions (for discrete measure $\mu$) or impulsive problems (when the measure $\mu$ is a combination of the two types of measures). We shall approach the matter of existence of solutions of measure integral inclusion \begin{equation} \label{e1} x(t)\in \int_0^t F(s,x(s))\,du(s) \end{equation} via Stieltjes integration theory. As the function $u$ will not be assumed absolutely continuous, we will not be able to find classical solutions. More precisely, we will work with regulated or bounded variation function $u$ and the obtained solutions will be of the same kind. Let us remark right from the start that the use of Riemann-Stieltjes integration theory is not possible when the function to integrate and the function $u$ are both discontinuous. Also, the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral will not be appropriate (as in \cite{dalmasorampazzo,quincampoix,silva,cs}, to cite only a few) when the function under the integral sign is allowed to be highly oscillating. In the given situation, the most natural notion of integral is the Kuzweil-Stieltjes integral. In the single-valued framework there is a series of existence results for Stieltjes integral equations using Kurzweil integral in the linear or nonlinear case (we refer to \cite{tvrdy,schw,kurzweil} or to the more recent \cite{federsonmesqslavik,federsonmesqslavik2,afonsoronto}). As for the set-valued case, as far as the author knows, there are existence results via Lebesgue-Stieljes integral (such as \cite{cs}), but the problem has not been investigated yet in the setting of Kurzweil-Stieltjes integral. In the first part, we will provide existence results for inclusion \eqref{e1} under the assumption that $u$ is regulated, using the notion of equi-regularity (introduced in \cite{frankova}). In the second part, the function $u$ will be assumed of bounded variation and the existence of solutions will be studied. Finally, in view of practical applications, the existence of bounded variation solutions will be obtained in a particular case: by considering Kurzweil-Stieltjes integrals of regulated functions with respect to a bounded variation function. As the theory of measure driven problems cover many well-known situations (see \cite{afonsoronto} for a discussion in this sense), for a particular function $u$, new existence results can be deduced for usual integral inclusions, difference inclusions, impulsive or retarded problems for systems with fast oscillating data. \section{Definitions and notation} Let $(X,\|\cdot\|)$ be a separable Banach space (the separability allows us to apply the classical measurable selection theorems, see \cite{CV}). A function $u : [0,1] \to X$ is said to be regulated if there exist the limits $u(t+)$ and $u(s-)$ for all points $t \in [0,1)$ and $s \in (0,1]$. It is well-known (\cite{honig}) that the set of discontinuities of a regulated function is at most countable, that regulated functions are bounded and the space $G([0,1],X)$ of regulated functions $u:[0,1]\to X$ is a Banach space when endowed with the sup-norm $\|u\|_C={\sup_{t\in[0,1]}}\|u(t)\|$. For a function $u : [0,1] \to X$ the total variation will be denoted by $\operatorname{var}_0^1(u)$ and if it is finite then $u$ will be said to have bounded variation (or to be a bounded variation function). Any bounded variation function is regulated. Let us now recall some basic facts from the theory of Kurzweil-Stieltjes integration in Banach spaces, which is a particular case of Kurzweil integration \cite{kurzweil}. Let $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$. A partition of $[0,1]$ is a finite collection of pairs $\{(I_i,\xi_i): i=1,\dots ,p\}$, where $I_1, \dots,I_p$ are non-overlapping subintervals of $[0,1]$, $\xi_i \in I_i$, $i=1,\dots,p$ and $\cup^p_{i=1}I_i=[0,1]$. A gauge $\delta$ on $[0,1]$ is a positive function on $[0,1]$. For a given gauge $\delta$ we say that a partition $\{(I_i,\xi_i): i=1,\dots ,p\}$ is $\delta$-fine if $I_i \subset (\xi_i-\delta(\xi_i),\xi_i+\delta(\xi_i))$, $i=1,\dots,p$. \begin{definition}\label{henst} \rm A function $f:[0,1]\to X$ is said to be Kurzweil-Stieltjes-integrable with respect to $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ on $[0,1]$ (shortly, KS-integrable) if there exists a function denoted by ${(KS)\int_0^{\cdot}}f(s)du(s):[0,1]\to X$ such that, for every $\varepsilon > 0$, there is a gauge $\delta_{\varepsilon} $ on $[0,1]$ with $$ \sum_{i=1}^p \big\|f(\xi_i)(u(t_i)-u(t_{i-1})) - \Big({\rm (KS)}\int_{0}^{t_{i}} f(s)du(s) - {\rm (KS)}\int_{0}^{t_{i-1}} f(s)du(s) \Big) \big\| <\varepsilon $$ for every $\delta_{\varepsilon}$-fine partition $\{([t_{i-1},t_i],\xi_i): \ i=1,\dots ,p\}$ of $[0,1]$. \end{definition} The KS-integrability is preserved on all sub-intervals of $[0,1]$. The function $t\mapsto (KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s)$ is called the KS-primitive of $f$ with respect to $u$ on $[0,1]$ (we refer to \cite{tvrdy} or \cite{schw} for the case where $X$ is finite dimensional). \begin{remark}{\rm When $u(s)=s$, this definition gives the concept of Henstock-Lebesgue-integrable function (\cite{cao}) or variational Henstock-integral \cite{marraffa}. If moreover $X$ is finite dimensional, in the preceding definition the norm can be put outside the sum, giving the equivalent concept of Henstock integral (see \cite{cao,marraffa,schwye} for a comparison between the two notions in general Banach spaces).} \end{remark} \begin{definition} \rm A collection $\mathcal{A}$ of KS-integrable functions is said to be KS equi-integrable if for every $\varepsilon>0$ there exists a gauge $\delta_{\varepsilon}$ (the same for all elements of $\mathcal{A}$) s uch that all $f\in \mathcal{A}$ satisfy the condition in Definition \ref{henst}. \end{definition} As the KS-integral satisfies the Saks-Henstock Lemma \cite[Lemma 1.13]{schw}, the proof of \cite[Theorem 1.16]{schw} works in our setting and gives: \begin{proposition} \label{stie} Let $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ and $f:[0,1]\to X$ be KS-integrable with respect to $u$. \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] If $u$ is regulated, then so is the primitive $h:[0,1]\to X$, \[ h(t)=(KS)\int_0^t f(s)\,du(s) \] and for every $t \in [0,1]$, \[ h(t^+)-h(t)=f(t)[u(t^+)-u(t) ], \quad h(t)-h(t^-)=f(t)[u(t)-u(t^-) ]. \] \item[(ii)] If $u$ is of bounded variation and $f$ is bounded, then $h$ is of bounded variation. \end{itemize} \end{proposition} For the rest of this article, unless otherwise stated, the function $u$ will be supposed to be regulated. The space of all functions that are KS-integrable with respect to $u$ will be denoted by $\mathcal{KS}(u)$ and endowed with the supremum norm of the primitive (that is regulated, see Proposition \ref{stie} (i), namely the Alexiewicz norm with respect to $u$: $$ \| f\|^u_A=\sup_{t\in [0,1]}\| {\rm (KS)}\int_0^t f(s)du(s) \|. $$ A compact convex-valued multifunction $\Gamma:[0,1]\to \mathcal{P}_{ck}(X)$ is said to be upper semi-continuous at a point $t_0\in [0,1]$ if for every $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $\delta_{\varepsilon} > 0$ such that the excess of $\Gamma(t)$ over $\Gamma(t_0)$ (in the sense of Pompeiu-Hausdorff metric) is less than $\varepsilon$ whenever $|t-t_0|<\delta_{\varepsilon}$. Otherwise stated, $$ \Gamma(t) \subset \Gamma(t_0) + \varepsilon B, $$ where $B$ is the unit ball of $X$. A multifunction is upper semi-continuous when it is upper semi-continuous at each point $t_0 \in [0,1]$. Moreover, it is completely continuous if it is totally bounded and upper semi-continuous. The symbol $S_{\Gamma}$ stands for the family of measurable selections of $\Gamma$. We refer to \cite{ac,CV,hup,pgc,petr} for any aspect (classical or not) related to multivalued analysis. A technical result will be used (see \cite{satco}). \begin{lemma}\label{sirconv} For any sequence $(\overline{y}_n)_n$ of measurable selections of a $\mathcal{P}_{ck}(X)$-valued measurable multifunction $\Gamma$, there exists $z_n \in \operatorname{conv} \{\overline{y}_m,m{\geq} n\}$ a.e. convergent to a measurable $\overline{y}$. \end{lemma} \section{Existence results - regulated case} In this section, we prove an existence result for measure integral inclusions considering Kurzweil-Stieltjes integrability with respect to a regulated function $u$, the main tool being the following concept: \begin{definition}[\cite{frankova}] \rm A set $\mathcal{A}\subset G([0,1],X)$ is said to be equi-regulated if for every $\varepsilon>0$ and every $t_0\in [0,1]$ there exists $\delta>0$ such that:\begin{itemize} \item[(i)] for any $t_0-\delta0$ one can find a finite collection $0=t_00$. There exists $M>0$ such that $\|f(t_0)\|\leq M$ for every $f\in \mathcal{K}$. One can also find a gauge $\delta_{\varepsilon}$ with $$ \sum_{i=1}^n \|f(\xi_i)(u(\tilde{t}_{i+1})-u(\tilde{t}_i)) -(KS)\int_{\tilde{t}_i}^{\tilde{t}_{i+1}}f(s)du(s) \| \leq \frac{\varepsilon}{2}, \quad \forall f\in \mathcal{K} $$ for any $\delta_{\varepsilon}$-fine partition $\left\{(\tilde{t}_i,\tilde{t}_{i+1}),\xi_i,0=1,\dots ,n\right\}$. On the other hand, as $u$ is regulated, there exist $\overline{\delta}_{\varepsilon}>0$ such that $$ \|u(t')-u(t_0^-)\|\leq \frac{\varepsilon}{2M} $$ whenever $t_0-\overline{\delta}_{\varepsilon}1$. \end{itemize} \end{theorem} Applying this theorem will necessitate a convergence result, such as \begin{lemma}[{\cite[Theorem 6.1]{bpiazza}}] \label{conv1} Let $u$ be $ACG^{**}$ and $(f_n)_n$ a sequence KS equi-integrable with respect to $u$ which pointwise converges to $f$. Then $f$ is KS-integrable with respect to $u$ and $$ (KS)\int_0^1 f_n(s)du(s)\to(KS)\int_0^1 f(s)du(s). $$ \end{lemma} It works for functions $u$ that are more than regulated (but not necessarily of bounded variation), namely: \begin{definition}[\cite{bpiazza}] \rm (i) $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ is said to be $ACG^{**}$ if it is continuous and the unit interval can be written as a countable union of closed sets on each of which $F$ is $AC^{**}$; (ii) A function $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ is $AC^{**}$ on $E\subset [0,1]$ if, for any $\varepsilon>0$, there exists $\eta_{\varepsilon}>0$ and a gauge $\delta:E\to\mathbb{R}_+$ such that, whenever $D1,D2$ are $\delta$-fine partitions of $E$ with $\sum_{D1\setminus D2}|t'-t''| < \eta_{\varepsilon}$, one has $$\sum_{D1\setminus D2} |u(t')-u(t'')|<\varepsilon;$$ here $D1\setminus D2$ denotes the collection of all connected components of $\cup D1\setminus \cup D2$. \end{definition} We give now the main result of this section. Notice that in \cite{tvrdy} it was explained why the space of regulated functions is the best choice for the space of solutions. \begin{definition} \rm A solution of measure driven inclusion \eqref{e1} is a regulated function $x : [0,1] \to X$ for which there exists $g\in S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}$ such that \[ x(t) = (KS)\int_0^t g(s) \,d u(s), \quad \forall t \in [0,1]. \] \end{definition} \begin{theorem}\label{mainreg} Let $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ be $ACG^{**}$ and $F:[0,1]\times X\to \mathcal{P}_{ck}(X)$ satisfy: \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] for every $x\in X$, $F(\cdot,x)$ is measurable; \item[(ii)] for every $R>0$: \begin{itemize} \item[(ii1)] the family $$ \cup \{ S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}, x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R\} $$ is pointwise bounded and KS equi-integrable with respect to $u$; \item[(ii2)] the map $x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R \to S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}$ is upper semi-con\-tinuous with respect to the $\|\cdot\|_A^u$-topology on the space $\mathcal{KS}(u)$; \item[(ii3)] for each $t\in [0,1]$ , $$ \big\{(KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s), f \in S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))} \big\} $$ is relatively compact for every $x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R $ and $$ \big\{(KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s), f \in S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}, x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R \big\} $$ is bounded. \end{itemize} \end{itemize} If moreover there exists $R_0$ such that $\|x\|_C\neq R_0$ for any regulated solution $x$ of $$ x(t)\in \lambda \Big( x_0+\int_0^t F(s,x(s))du(s) \Big) $$ for all $\lambda\in (0,1)$, then our integral inclusion possess regulated solutions with $\|x\|_C\leq R_0$. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Let $N:\overline{B_{R_0}}\to G([0,1],X)$ be the operator defined on the ball centered at the origin of radius $R_0$ of $G([0,1],X)$ by $$ N(x)(t)=\big\{(KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s), f\in S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))} \big\}. $$ Obviously, the fixed points of this operator will be solutions to our inclusion. We will check the hypothesis of Theorem \ref{fp}. Let us note first that the values of $N$ are convex and non-empty; indeed, hypothesis $ii2)$ implies that for any $t\in[0,1]$ the map $F(t,\cdot)$ is upper semi-continuous and, thanks to hypothesis $i)$, this yields the existence of measurable selections for the superpositional map $F(\cdot, x(\cdot))$. Let us prove that the values are compact. We will get the relative compactness by Lemma \ref{ascoli}. From hypotheses (ii1), we are able to apply Proposition \ref{equireg} to obtain the equi-regularity, while the second condition in Lemma \ref{ascoli} is stated by hypotheses (ii3). It remains thus to prove that the values are closed. Fix then $x$ and consider a sequence $((KS)\int_0^{\cdot}f_n(s)du(s))_n\subset N(x)$ convergent to $g\in G([0,1],X)$ and show that there exists $f\in S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}$ with $g(t)=(KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s)$ for any $t\in [0,1]$. As $F$ is compact convex-valued, one can find a sequence of convex combinations $\tilde{f}_n \in \operatorname{co}\{f_m,m\geq n \}$ that pointwise converges to some selection $f$ of $F(\cdot,x(\cdot))$. Lemma \ref{conv1} implies that $$ (KS)\int_0^t \tilde{f}_n(s)du(s)\to (KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s) $$ and so, $g(t)=(KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s)$ for any $t\in [0,1]$. In the sequel, let us prove that $N$ is completely continuous. The total boundedness comes from Proposition \ref{equireg} and the pointwise boundedness hypothesis (ii3) since we can apply Lemma \ref{unifbounded}. Let us now check that it is upper semi-continuous. To this aim, fix $x_0\in \overline{B_{R_0}}$ and consider an arbitrary $\varepsilon>0$. Hypothesis (ii2) says that there exists $\delta_{\varepsilon,x_0}>0$ such that for any $x\in G([0,1],X)$ with $\|x-x_0\|_C<\delta_{\varepsilon,x_0}$: $$ S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}\subset S_{F(\cdot,x_0(\cdot))}+\varepsilon B_A, $$ where $B_A$ is the unit open ball of $\mathcal{KS}(u)$ endowed with the $\|\cdot\|_A^u$-topology. By the definition of $\|\cdot\|_A^u$, it follows that for every $f\in S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}$ one can find $f_0\in S_{F(\cdot,x_0(\cdot))}$ such that $\|(KS)\int_0^{\cdot}f(s)du(s)- (KS)\int_0^{\cdot}f_0(s)du(s)\|_C<\varepsilon$ which means that $$ N(x)\subset N(x_0)+\varepsilon B_G, $$ $B_G$ being the open unit ball of $G([0,1],X)$ and thus, the upper semi-continuity of $N$ is verified. The conditions of Theorem \ref{fp} are satisfied and, as the alternative is excluded by hypothesis, it follows that the operator $N$ has fixed points and our inclusion has solutions. \end{proof} Another version of this result could be obtained in a similar manner. \begin{theorem} Let $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ be $ACG^{**}$ and $F:[0,1]\times X\to \mathcal{P}_{ck}(X)$ satisfy: \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] for every $x\in X$, $F(\cdot,x)$ is measurable; \item[(ii)] for every $x\in G([0,1],X)$, the family $S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}$ is KS equi-integrable with respect to $u$; \item[(iii)] for every $R>0$: \begin{itemize} \item[(iii1)] the map $x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R \to S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}$ is upper semi-con\-tinuous with respect to the $\|\cdot\|_A^u$-topology on the space $\mathcal{KS}(u)$; \item[(iii2)] for each $t\in [0,1]$ , $$ \{(KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s), f \in S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))} \} $$ is relatively compact for every $x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R $ and $$ \big\{(KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s), f \in S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}, x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R \big\} $$ is uniformly bounded. \end{itemize} \end{itemize} If there exists $R_0$ as in Theorem \ref{mainreg}, then the integral inclusion possess regulated solutions. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Following the same line as in the preceding result, the operator $N$ has relatively compact values: they are equi-regulated by hypothesis (ii) and Proposition \ref{equireg} and they are pointwisely contained in a compact set by hypothesis (iii2). The values are closed (this can be proved as in Theorem \ref{mainreg}) and convex. Besides, $N$ is totally bounded by (iii2) and upper semi-continuous by (iii1). Thus, the conditions of fixed point theorem are checked and so, the existence of solutions is obtained. \end{proof} \section{Existence results - bounded variation case} When $u$ is of bounded variation, instead of \cite[Theorem 6.1]{bpiazza} we can use another convergence result. \begin{lemma}\label{conv} Let $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ be of bounded variation and $f_n:[0,1]\to X$ be a sequence of functions KS equi-integrable with respect to $u$ that converges pointwise to $f:[0,1]\to X$. Then $f$ is KS-integrable with respect to $u$ and $$ (KS)\int_0^1 f(s)du(s)=\lim_{n\to\infty}(KS)\int_0^1 f_n(s)du(s). $$ \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Let $\varepsilon>0$. There exists a partition $\mathcal{P}_0= \{(t_{i-1},t_i),\xi_i\}_{i=1}^{n_0}$ of $[0,1]$ such that $$ \sum_{i=1}^{n_0} \big\| f_n(\xi_i)(u(t_i)-u(t_{i-1})) -\Big((KS)\int_0^{t_i} f_n(s)du(s) - (KS)\int_0^{t_{i-1}} f_n(s)du(s)\Big)\big\| <\varepsilon, $$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$. At the same time, one can find $n_{\varepsilon}\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $\|f_n(\xi_i)-f_m(\xi_i)\|<\frac{\varepsilon}{\operatorname{var}_0^1(u)}$ for every $i=1,\dots ,n_0$ and every $m,n\geq n_{\varepsilon}$. It follows that $$ \sum_{i=1}^{n_0} \Big\|f_n(\xi_i)(u(t_i)-u(t_{i-1})) -\sum_{i=1}^{n_0} f_m(\xi_i)(u(t_i)-u(t_{i-1}))\Big\|<\varepsilon, \quad \forall m,n\geq n_{\varepsilon}, $$ whence $$ \big\| (KS)\int_0^1 f_n(s)du(s) -(KS)\int_0^1 f_m(s)du(s)\big\|<3\varepsilon, \quad \forall m,n\geq n_{\varepsilon} $$ and the same for each $t\in [0,1]$: the sequence $((KS)\int_0^t f_n(s)du(s))_n$ is Cauchy. As in the proof of \cite[Theorem 3.6.18]{schw ye} it can be proved that its limit $L(t)$ equals the KS-integral of $f$ with respect to $u$ on $[0,t]$. \end{proof} We thus obtain, this time for a bounded variation function $u$ (instead of $ACG^{**}$): \begin{theorem} \label{mainbv} Let $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ be of bounded variation and $F:[0,1]\times X\to \mathcal{P}_{ck}(X)$ satisfy the hypothesis of Theorem \ref{mainreg}, except $(ii2)$, instead of which we impose: \begin{itemize} \item[(ii2')] the map $x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R \to F(t,x(t))$ is upper semi-continuous uniformly in $t$. \end{itemize} Then our integral inclusion possess regulated solutions with $\|x\|_C\leq R_0$. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Only the proof of the upper semi-continuity of $N$ has to be changed. By (ii2') for each $x_0$ and $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $\delta_{\varepsilon,x_0}>0$ such that for any $x\in G([0,1],X)$ with $\|x-x_0\|_C<\delta_{\varepsilon,x_0}$: $$ F(t,x(t))\subset F(t,x_0(t))+\varepsilon B, \quad \forall \; t\in [0,1], $$ where $B$ is the unit open ball of $X$. It follows that for every $f\in S^G_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}$ one can find $f_0\in S^G_{F(\cdot,x_0(\cdot))}$ such that $\|f(t)-f_0(t)\|\leq \varepsilon$ for every $t\in [0,1]$, whence (see \cite{stv}) $$ \|(KS)\int_0^{t}f(s)du(s)- (KS)\int_0^{t}f_0(s)du(s)\| \leq \|f-f_0\|_C \operatorname{var}_0^1(u) \leq \varepsilon \operatorname{var}_0^1(u) $$ which means that $$ N(x)\subset N(x_0)+\varepsilon \operatorname{var}_0^1(u) B_G, $$ $B_G$ being the open unit ball of $G([0,1],X)$ and thus, the upper semi-continuity of $N$ is verified. \end{proof} For an alternative existence theorem, remark that in this setting a mean value result is available. \begin{lemma}\label{mean} Let $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ be of bounded variation and $f:[0,1]\to X$ be KS-integrable with respect to $u$. \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] If $u$ is nondecreasing, then $$ (KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s)\in (u(t)-u(0))\overline{\operatorname{co}}(f([0,t])), \quad \forall t\in [0,1]. $$ \item[(ii)] If $u$ is of bounded variation, then $$ (KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s)\in \operatorname{var}_0^t(u) \overline{\operatorname{co}}(\{0\}\cup f([0,t])) -\operatorname{var}_0^t(u)\overline{\operatorname{co}}(\{0\}\cup f([0,t])), $$ for all $t\in [0,1]$. \end{itemize} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} When $u$ is nondecreasing, the assertion is a consequence of the definition of KS-integral, since for any partition of $[0,t]$: $$ \sum_{i=1}^p f(\xi_i)(u(t_i)-u(t_{i-1})) =(u(t)-u(0))\sum_{i=1}^p f(\xi_i)\frac{u(t_i)-u(t_{i-1})}{u(t)-u(0)}. $$ When $u$ is of bounded variation, it can be written as the difference of two non-decreasing functions $u_1$ and $u_2$ and so, by the first step, \begin{align*} (KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s) &\in (u_1(t)-u_1(0))\overline{\operatorname{co}}(f([0,t]))-(u_2(t)-u_2(0)) \overline{\operatorname{co}}(f([0,t]))\\ & \subset \operatorname{var}_0^t(u)\overline{\operatorname{co}}(\{0\}\cup f([0,t])) -\operatorname{var}_0^t(u)\overline{\operatorname{co}}(\{0\}\cup f([0,t])). \end{align*} \end{proof} From Theorem \ref{mainbv} we then get the existence of bounded variation solutions. \begin{corollary} Let $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ be of bounded variation and $F:[0,1]\times X\to \mathcal{P}_{ck}(X)$ satisfy the hypothesis {\rm (i)} and {\rm (ii2')} of Theorem \ref{mainbv} together with: \begin{itemize} \item[(ii1')] the family $$ \cup \{ S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}, x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R \} $$ is KS equi-integrable with respect to $u$; \item[(ii3')] for each $t\in [0,1]$ , $$ \big\{(KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s), f \in S_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))} \big\} $$ is relatively compact for every $x\in G([0,1],X)$, $\|x\|_C\leq R $ and for any bounded $A\subset X$, $$ F([0,1]\times A)\; \text{ is bounded.} $$ \end{itemize} If there exists $R_0$ as in Theorem \ref{mainreg}, then our integral inclusion possess bounded variation solutions with $\|x\|_C\leq R_0$. \end{corollary} \begin{proof} The only modification to be made in the proof of Theorem \ref{mainbv} is at the step where the total boundedness of the operator $N$ must be verified, more precisely the pointwise boundedness of $N(\overline{B_{R_0}})$; at that point, under our assumptions, the property easily comes from Lemma \ref{mean} and hypothesis $ii3')$. Besides, as the found solution is the primitive of a bounded function with respect to a bounded variation function, by Proposition \ref{stie}, it is of bounded variation. \end{proof} In concrete situations, the Kurzweil-Stieltjes integral is mostly used in the case where the integrand is regulated and the function with respect to one integrates is of bounded variation (or viceversa); therefore, it could be more convenient to have an existence result for this case. For this purpose, let us recall the following convergence result. \begin{lemma}[{\cite[Theorem I.4.17]{stv}}] \label{convu} Let $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ be of bounded variation and $f_n:[0,1]\to X$ be KS-integrable with respect to $u$ with $\|f_n-f\|_C\to 0$. Then $f$ is KS-integrable with respect to $u$ and $(KS)\int_0^1 f_n(s)du(s)\to (KS)\int_0^1 f(s)du(s)$. \end{lemma} Applying it will be possible by using another result. \begin{lemma}[{\cite[Lemma 1.14]{mesq}}] \label{unif} If an equi-regulated sequence of functions converges pointwise, then it converges uniformly towards the limit. \end{lemma} \begin{theorem} Let $u:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ be of bounded variation and $F:[0,1]\times X\to \mathcal{P}_{ck}(X)$ satisfy: \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] for every $x\in G([0,1],X)$, the family $S^G_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}$ of regulated selections of $F(\cdot,x(\cdot))$ is non-empty; \item[(ii)] for every $R>0$: \begin{itemize} \item[(ii1)] the family $$ \cup \big\{ S^G_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}, x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R \big\} $$ is equi-regulated; \item[(ii2')] the map $x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R \to F(t,x(t))$ is upper semi-continuous uniformly in $t$; \item[(ii3)] for each $t\in [0,1]$, $$ \big\{(KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s), f \in S^G_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))} \big\} $$ is relatively compact for every $x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R $ and the family $$ \big\{(KS)\int_0^{\cdot} f(s)du(s), f \in S^G_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}, x\in G([0,1],X), \|x\|_C\leq R \big\} $$ is equi-regulated and pointwise bounded. \end{itemize} \end{itemize} If moreover there exists $R_0$ such that $\|x\|_C\neq R_0$ for any regulated solution $x$ of $$ x(t)\in \lambda \Big( x_0+\int_0^t F(s,x(s))du(s) \Big) $$ for all $\lambda \in (0,1)$, then our integral inclusion possess bounded variation solutions with $\|x\|_C\leq R_0$. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Consider now the modified operator $N:\overline{B_{R_0}}\to G([0,1],X)$ defined on the ball centered at the origin of radius $R_0$ of $G([0,1],X)$ by $$ N(x)(t)=\big\{ (KS)\int_0^t f(s)du(s), f\in S^G_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))} \big\}. $$ The proof of the fact that $N$ has fixed points is essentially that of Theorem \ref{mainreg}, except the point where it must be proved that the values of operator $N$ are closed; here this comes from the fact that the sequence $\tilde{f}_n$ pointwise converges to $f$ and it is equi-regulated so, by \cite[Lemma 1.14]{mesq}, $\|f_n-f\|_C\to 0$. Moreover, \cite[Corollary 3.2]{honig} states that $f$ is regulated. Now applying Lemma \ref{convu} gives the convergence of the integrals of $f_n$ towards the integral of $f$ and thus the closedness of the values of $N$. Let us now check that $N$ is upper semi-continuous. Fix $x_0\in \overline{B_{R_0}}$ and consider an arbitrary $\varepsilon>0$. Hypothesis (ii2') yields that there exists $\delta_{\varepsilon,x_0}>0$ such that for any $x\in G([0,1],X)$ with $\|x-x_0\|_C<\delta_{\varepsilon,x_0}$: $$ F(t,x(t))\subset F(t,x_0(t))+\varepsilon B, \quad \forall t\in [0,1], $$ where $B$ is the unit open ball of $X$. It follows that for every $f\in S^G_{F(\cdot,x(\cdot))}$ one can find $f_0\in S^G_{F(\cdot,x_0(\cdot))}$ such that $\|f(t)-f_0(t)\|\leq \varepsilon$ for every $t\in [0,1]$, whence (see \cite{stv}): $$ \|(KS)\int_0^{t}f(s)du(s)- (KS)\int_0^{t}f_0(s)du(s)\| \leq \|f-f_0\|_C \operatorname{var}_0^1(u) \leq \varepsilon \operatorname{var}_0^1(u) $$ which means that $$ N(x)\subset N(x_0)+\varepsilon \operatorname{var}_0^1(u) B_G, $$ $B_G$ being the open unit ball of $G([0,1],X)$ and thus, the upper semi-continuity of $N$ is verified. Finally, as any solution is the KS-primitive of a regulated function (therefore bounded) with respect to the bounded variation function $u$, Proposition \ref{stie}. (ii) asserts that it is more than regulated: it is of bounded variation. \end{proof} \begin{remark} {\rm The imposition of assumption (ii3) (equi-regularity of primitives) together with (ii1) (equi-regularity of selections) might look artificial but, in fact, the equi-regularity of primitives follows from the equi-regularity of selections only if we impose a pointwise boundedness condition on the family of selections. This pointwise boundedness condition would be very strong since, by Lemma \ref{unifbounded}, it would imply the uniform boundedness and many of the properties given above would then be obtained in a much simpler manner.} \end{remark} \begin{remark}{\rm New existence results can be deduced in particular cases, namely when $u$ is absolutely continuous (leading to usual continuous problems), the sum of step functions (leading to discrete problems) or a sum between an absolutely continuous function and a sum of step functions (in which case one gets impulsive problems), as well as for retarded problems (see \cite{afonsoronto}).} \end{remark} \subsection*{Acknowledgements} This work was supported by a grant of the Romanian National Authority for Scientific Research, CNCS - UEFISCDI, project number PN-II-RU-TE-2012-3-0336. \begin{thebibliography}{99} \bibitem{afonsoronto} Afonso, S.
