Abstract
We study linear evolution equations in separable Hilbert spaces defined by a bounded linear operator. We answer the question which of these equations can be written as a gradient flow, namely those for which the operator is real diagonalisable. The proof is constructive, from which we also derive geodesic lambda-convexity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Analysis and its Applications aims at disseminating theoretical knowledge in the field of analysis and, at the same time, cultivating and extending its applications.
To this end, it publishes research articles on differential equations and variational problems, functional analysis and operator theory together with their theoretical foundations and their applications – within mathematics, physics and other disciplines of the exact sciences.
