Abstract
The article deals with Lipschitz continuous differential inclusions that yield star-shaped reachable sets. The purpose of the paper is to show that the radial function of such reachable sets is a viscosity solution to a certain partial differential equation. As a result, the existing theory of viscosity solutions to first-order partial differential equations was applied to resolve the existence, uniqueness, and some calculation aspects. Several relaxations concerning the forms of the inclusion and the initial set were also considered.
