On ordinary differential equations in locally convex spaces. (English) Zbl 0612.34056
The paper contains existence and uniqueness results for ordinary differential equations $$u'(t)=f(t,u(t)),$$ $$u(0)=u_ 0$$ in locally convex Hausdorff spaces E. First, existence and comparison criteria are given for the linear autonomous case, if $$E={\mathbb{R}}^ J$$ (J a general index set) with the product topology. In the general case, a dissipativity condition for f in terms of the system of seminorms that generate the topology of E is assumed, implying that successive iterations converge by the results for the linear case.
