Upper estimate conjecture for the coderivative of a differential inclusion's reachable map

Let FF define a differential inclusion on [0,T][0,T] and let R:RnRnR:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightrightarrows\mathbb{R}^{n} be the reachable map, with reference points (xˉ,yˉ)(\bar{x},\bar{y}). For the feasible-path set

F(xˉ,yˉ)={x()AC([0,T],Rn):x(0)=xˉ, x(T)=yˉ, x(t)F(t,x(t)) for almost every t[0,T]},\mathcal{F}(\bar{x},\bar{y})=\{x(\cdot)\in AC([0,T],\mathbb{R}^{n}):x(0)=\bar{x},\ x(T)=\bar{y},\ x^{\prime}(t)\in F(t,x(t))\text{ for almost every }t\in[0,T]\},

consider absolutely continuous adjoint paths p()p(\cdot). Upper estimate of the coderivative of the reachable map. The convexified coderivative satisfies

coDR(xˉyˉ)(v){u:x()F(xˉ,yˉ), p()AC([0,T],Rn) such thatp(t)coDxF(t,x(t)x(t))(p(t)),p(0)=u and p(T)=v}\overline{\operatorname{co}}D^{*}R(\bar{x}\mid\bar{y})(v)\subset\left\{u:\begin{array}{l}\exists x(\cdot)\in\mathcal{F}(\bar{x},\bar{y}),\ p(\cdot)\in AC([0,T],\mathbb{R}^{n})\text{ such that}\\ p^{\prime}(t)\in-\overline{\operatorname{co}}D_{x}^{*}F\bigl(t,x(t)\mid x^{\prime}(t)\bigr)\bigl(p(t)\bigr),\\ p(0)=u\text{ and }p(T)=v\end{array}\right\}

for all vRnv\in\mathbb{R}^{n}. This conjectural estimate would give a continuous-time upper bound for the coderivative of the reachable map in terms of feasible trajectories and their adjoint differential inclusions; the supplied text does not establish its resolution.
