Résumé : An elegant theorem by J.L. Lions establishes well-posedness of non-autonomous evolutionary problems in Hilbert spaces which are defined by a non-autonomous form. However a regularity problem remained open for many years. We give a survey on positive and negative (partially very recent) results. One of the positive results can be applied to an evolutionary network which has been studied by Dominik Dier and Marjeta Kramar jointly with the speaker. It is governed by non-autonomous Kirchhoff conditions at the vertices of the graph. Also the diffusion coefficients may depend on time. Besides existence and uniqueness long-time behaviour can be described. When conductivity and diffusion coefficients match (so that mass is conserved) the solutions converge to an equilibrium.
