Abstract
There is a striking difference between autonomous and non-autonomous linear evolution equations. Autonomous problems are well understood in the framework of strongly continuous operator semigroups and their generalizations. The Hille-Yosida type theorems settle the question of well-posedness to a great extend, many perturbation and approximation results have been established, and for a large class of problems the asymptotic behaviour can be studied on the basis of spectral theory and transform methods. In these and many other areas semigroup theory has reached a considerable degree of maturity, and its applications thrive in plenty of fields.
