Abstract:
We consider the following nonlinear evolution equation in a real Hilbert space. $$ \frac{du}{dt}(t) + \partial \varphi (u (t) ) + B(t , u (t) ) \ni f (t ) ~~~~t \in [0, T], $$ where $\partial \varphi $ is the subdifferential operator generated by a proper lower semi-continuous convex functional $\varphi $, $B$ is a perturbation term, and $f$ is a given external force. When $B \equiv 0$, it is well known that the right-differentiability of $u$ at $t _ 0 \in [0, T ]$ is equivalent to the property that $u (t _ 0) $ belongs to the domain of $\partial \varphi $. This is a useful tool for establishing higher order estimates in the analysis of evolution equations. In this talk, we give a sufficient condition of perturbation $B$ to obtain the same characterization of right-differentiability as above.
