Abstract

The paper shows the key place of the choice of the bilinear form in order to give a variational formulation to a given problem. In particular it is shown how the use of a convolution bilinear form makes possible a variational formulation for linear initial value problems. A critical survey of the three main methods that was devised in the past to solve the same problem is done.
