Evolutionary $\Gamma$-convergence of weak-type

Abstract

A notion of evolutionary $\Gamma$-convergence of weak type is introduced for sequences of operators acting on time-dependent functions. This extends the classical definition of $\Gamma$-convergence of functionals due to De Giorgi. The $\Gamma$-compactness of equi-coercive and equi-bounded sequences of operators is proved. Applications include the structural compactness and stability of quasilinear flows for pseudo-monotone operators.
