A select class of solutions to generalized Lambda-semiflows is introduced. It is proved that such minimal solutions are unique corresponding to given ranges and generate all other solutions by time reparametrization. Special qualities of minimal solutions are shown. The concept of minimal solutions is applied to gradient flows in metric spaces and generalized semiflows. Generalized semiflows have been introduced by Ball.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-11-20T10:25:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37B99", "35A99", "35B99", "35K90" ], "keywords": [ "minimal solutions", "generalized lambda-semiflows", "gradient flows", "metric spaces", "generalized semiflows" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
