Abstract

We give sufficient conditions for the existence of the fundamental solution of a second order evolution equation. The proof is based on stable approximations of an operator A(t) by a sequence {An(t)} of bounded operators.

Keywords

evolution problem, stable family of operators, stable approximations of the evolution operator, fundamental solution, Cauchy problem, uniformly correct Cauchy problem
