    On direct variational formulations for second order evolutionary equations (English)
    0 references
    This paper is mainly concerned with a second order evolutionary operator. The main results establish necessary and sufficient conditions that an operator be potential with respect to a certain bilinear form. The proofs follow by standard analytic tools that exploit the properties of skew-symmetric operators. The abstract results are illustrated by a class of evolution partial differential equations with potentials depending on the time.
