Autonomous Evolutionary Inclusions with Applications to Problems with Nonlinear Boundary Conditions

We study an abstract class of autonomous differential inclusions in Hilbert spaces and show the well-posedness and causality, by establishing the operators involved as maximal monotone operators in time and space. Then the proof of the well-posedness relies on a well-known perturbation result for maximal monotone operators. Moreover, we show that certain types of nonlinear boundary value problems are covered by this class of inclusions and we derive necessary conditions on the operators on the boundary in order to apply the solution theory. We exemplify our findings by two examples.
