For this classical problem there is a well known challenge of obtaining a priori estimates, as a constructed weak solution may not be regular enough to be utilized as a test function. This issue presents an obstacle for obtaining uniqueness and continuous dependence of solutions. Utilizing a generic weak formulation (involving the adjoint of the system’s evolution operator), the classical reference (Ball in Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society 63:370-373, 1977) provides a characterization which makes equivalent well-posedness of weak solutions and generation of a <span>(C_0)</span>-semigroup. On the other hand, the approach in (Ball in Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society 63:370-373, 1977) does not take into account any underlying energy estimate, and requires a characterization of the adjoint operator, the latter often posing a non-trivial task. We propose an alternative approach, when the problem is posed on a Hilbert space and admits an underlying “formal\" energy estimate. For such a Cauchy problem, we provide a general notion of weak solution and through a straightforward observation, obtain that arbitrary weak solutions have additional time regularity and obey an a priori estimate. This yields weak well-posedness. Our result rests upon a central hypothesis asserting the existence of a “good\" Galerkin basis for the construction of a weak solution. A posteriori, a <span>(C_0)</span>-semigroup may be obtained for weak solutions, and by uniqueness, weak and semigroup solutions are equivalent.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55566,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Optimization","volume":"90 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
