A variant of the abstract Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem is considered. We prove existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to the nonlinear, non-autonomous initial value problem \[ \frac{du(t)}{dt} = A(t)u(t) + B(u(t),t), \ \ u(0) = x \]…

We consider a general optimal control problem in the setting of gradient flows. Two approximations of the problem are presented, both relying on the variational reformulation of gradient-flow dynamics via the Weighted-Energy-Dissipation…
