Abstract

Recent well-posedness results for evolutionary partial differential equations with state-dependent inhomogeneity are extended to a larger problem class incorporating nonautonomous material behaviour. This generalization facilitates the formulation of a framework able to accommodate delayed boundary value problems related to evolutionary partial differential equations. The results permit the ad hoc treatment of Dirichlet- and Neumann-like boundary conditions with state-dependent delay. Complex boundary conditions involving nonautonomous delay in the material law and state-dependent delay in the forcing term can be accommodated by use of extended state spaces. This approach provides the first systematic treatment addressing well-posedness of several classical boundary conditions involving state-dependent delay. The viability and versatility of the theory is showcased by applications to parabolic and hyperbolic partial differential equations with Dirichlet, Neumann, Robin, Wentzell-Robin and Leontovich boundary conditions.
