Abstract

We consider evolution equations of the form

$$\begin{aligned} \dot{u}(t)+{\mathcal {A}}(t)u(t)=0,\ \ t\in [0,T],\ \ u(0)=u_0, \end{aligned}$$

where \({\mathcal {A}}(t),\ t\in [0,T],\) are associated with a non-autonomous sesquilinear form \({\mathfrak {a}}(t,\cdot ,\cdot )\) on a Hilbert space H with constant domain \(V\subset H.\) In this note we continue the study of fundamental operator theoretical properties of the solutions. We give a sufficient condition for norm-continuity of evolution families on each spaces VH and on the dual space \(V'\) of V. The abstract results are applied to a class of equations governed by time dependent Robin boundary conditions on exterior domains and by Schrödinger operator with time dependent potentials.
