%0 Journal Article %T Generalized first-order nonlinear evolution equations and generalized Yosida approximations based on H-maximal monotonicity frameworks %A Ram U. Verma %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2009 %I Texas State University %X First a general framework for the Yosida approximation is introduced based on the relative H-maximal monotonicity model, and then it is applied to the solvability of a general class of first-order nonlinear evolution equations. The obtained results generalize and unify a wide range of results to the context of the solvability of first-order nonlinear evolution equations in several settings. %K Generalized first-order evolution equations %K variational problems %K maximal monotone mapping %K relative H-maximal monotone mapping %K relative H-maximal accretive mapping %K generalized resolvent operator %K general Yosida approximations %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2009/85/abstr.html
