In first-order geometric evolutions, however, the topological boundary need not be continuous in the sense of Painleve–Kuratowski. So this paper suggests a generalization of Aubin’s mutational equations that extends classical notions of dynamical systems and functional analysis beyond the traditional border of vector spaces: Distribution– like solutions are introduced in a set just supplied with a countable family of (possibly non-symmetric) distance functions. Moreover their existence is proved by means of Euler approximations and a form of “weak” sequential compactness (although no continuous linear forms are available beyond topological vector spaces). This general framework is applied to a first-order geometric example, i.e. compact subsets of the Euclidean space evolving according to the nonlocal properties of both the current set and its proximal normal cones. Here neither regularity assumptions about the boundaries nor the inclusion principle are required. In particular, we specify sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of these solutions. abstract_translated_lang: eng class_scheme: msc class_labels: 49J52, 54E99, 34G20, 34A60 date: 2005 date_type: published id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00005580 portal_cluster_id: p-iwrpp portal_order: 05580 ppn_swb: 1646175379 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-55802 language: eng bibsort: LORENZTHOMGENERALIZI2005 full_text_status: public series: IWR-Preprints citation: Lorenz, Thomas (2005) Generalizing evolution equations in ostensible metric spaces: Timed right-hand sleek solutions provide uniqueness of first-order geometric examples.
