On the Newton form of equations in energy spaces for nonstationary problems of mathematical physics (Q2477453)

As is known, the theory of stationary variational problems becomes simpler when the problems are considered in a suitable energy-Hilbert space. Here, the author takes as energy-Hilbert spaces completions of an initial space \(H\) in norms determined by symmetric compact operators \(M= M^*> 0\) and \(M^2\). The author studies the Newton equation \(M\,D^2_t u(t)+ u(t)= f(t)\), \(t\in [0, T]\), and gets results about well-posedness and a priori estimates.
