Well-posedness for a general class of differential inclusions

Abstract: We consider an abstract class of differential inclusions, which covers differential-algebraic and non-autonomous problems as well as problems with delay. Under weak assumptions on the operators involved, we prove the well-posedness of those differential inclusions in a pure Hilbert space setting. Moreover, we study the causality of the associated solution operator. The theory is illustrated by an application to a semistatic quasilinear variant of Maxwell's equations.
