Nonlinear Semigroups and Evolution Governed by Accretive Operators

摘要

This is a review paper which outlines the main points of the theory of nonlinear semigroups and evolution governed by accretive operators. The subject is now rather mature, so most of the principal ideas and results are not new. However, the presentation here is organized differently from that in other sources and does touch upon recent results. An attempt has been made to make this paper a pleasant route to a certain view of the subject. This manuscript represents the author's contribution to the proceedings of the Symposium on Nonlinear Functional Analysis and Applications held in Berkely in July 1983. (Author)
