%0 Journal Article %T On Non-Autonomous Evolutionary Problems %A Rainer Picard %A Sascha Trostorff %A Marcus Waurick %A Maria Wehowski %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X The paper extends well-posedness results of a previously explored class of time-shift invariant evolutionary problems to the case of non-autonomous media. The Hilbert space setting developed for the time-shift invariant case can be utilized to obtain an elementary approach to non-autonomous equations. The results cover a large class of evolutionary equations, where well-known strategies like evolution families may be difficult to use or fail to work. We exemplify the approach with an application to a Kelvin-Voigt-type model for visco-elastic solids. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1302.1304v1
