We give new criteria for weak and strong invariant closed sets for differential inclusions in Double-struck capital Rn, and which are simultaneously governed by Lipschitz Cusco mapping and by maximal monotone operators. Correspondingly, we provide different characterizations for the associated strong Lyapunov functions and pairs. The resulting conditions only depend on the data of the system, while the invariant sets are assumed to be closed, and the Lyapunov pairs are assumed to be only lower semi-continuous.
