Theory And Applications Of One-Sided Coupled Operator Matrices

Abstract

The theory of one-sided coupled operator matrices, recently introduced by K.-J. Engel, is an abstract framework for concrete initial value problems and allows complete information on well-posedness, and stability of solutions. These notes are meant as a survey on this rich theory, with a particular stress on applications to initial-boundary value problems with unbounded boundary feedbacks. A diffusion-transport system with dynamical boundary conditions is discussed, and its well-posedness and various other properties are investigated. As a by-product, the well-posedness of a wave equation with dynamical boundary condition is also obtained.
