Multivalued linear operators and degenerate evolution equations (Q2367518): Difference between revisions

Degenerate linear evolution equations of the form \(d(M(t)v)/dt+ L(t)v= f(t)\) or of the form \(M(t)dv/dt+ L(t)v= M(t) f(t)\) are investigated by reducing to the nondegenerate equation \(du/dt+ A(t)u\ni f(t)\), where \(A(t)= L(t) M(t)^{-1}\) (resp. \(M(t)^{-1} L(t))\) is linear but multivalued. Applications to some degenerate parabolic problems are also given.
