Abstract
The Lions' Representation Theorem (LRT) is a version of the Lax–Milgram Theorem where completeness of one of the spaces is not needed. In this paper, LRT is deduced from an operator-theoretical result on normed spaces, which is of independent interest. As an example, we give a new characterization of dissipativity. The main part of the paper is a theory of derivations, based on LRT, which we develop. Its aim is to establish well-posedness results, not only for evolution in time but also for more general settings in terms of this new notion of derivation. One application concerns non-autonomous evolution equations with a new kind of boundary condition where values at the initial and final time are mixed.
