Synopsis

The nonlinear evolution problem [Bu(t)]′ = A(t, Bu)u + f(t, Bu) with B a constant linear operator and A = A(t, Bu) a time-dependent nonlinear operator from one Banach space to another, is studied. Existence and uniqueness results are obtained by making use of the theory of B-evolutions and the fractional powers of A and B. Two examples are presented in which the theory is applied to nonlinear equations with dynamic boundary conditions.
