Abstract

In this article we propose a general procedure that allows us to determine both the number and type of boundary conditions for time dependent partial differential equations. With those, well-posedness can be proven for a general initial-boundary value problem. The procedure is exemplified on the linearized Navier-Stokes equations in two and three space dimensions on a general domain.
