On B-evolution theory and dynamic boundary conditions on a portion of the boundary (Q3979932)

An initial boundary value problem of mixed type in which the boundary conditions on one of two disjoint boundaries are of a dynamic nature, is treated. The coefficients of the differential operators involved are dependent on the spatial as well as the time variable. The problem is reduced to an abstract evolution problem of the form \(d(Bu(t))/dt=A(t)u(t)\), \(Bu(0)=y\), in which \(A\) and \(B\) are unbounded, not necessarily closed, operators from a Banach space \(X\) to a Banach space \(Y\), whose common domain is time-dependent. By treating the abstract problem with the aid of the theory of B-evolutions, it is shown that the initial-boundary value problem is well-posed for arbitrary initial states in \(Y\).
