On the continuous dependence on the coefficients of evolutionary equations

In an abstract Hilbert space setting, we discuss many linear phenomena of mathematical physics. The functional analytic framework presented is used to address continuous dependence of the solution operators $\mathcal{S}(\mathcal{M})$ of certain (linear partial differential) equations on the coefficients $\mathcal{M}$. For this, we introduce a particular class of coefficients $\mathcal{M}$ and study the (nonlinear) mapping $\mathcal{M}\mapsto \mathcal{S}(\mathcal{M})$. We provide criteria that guarantee the continuity of $\mathcal{S}(\cdot)$ under the norm, the strong, and the weak operator topology. We exemplify our findings in non-autonomous electro-magnetic theory, thermodynamics and acoustics.
