1. Our essential objective is the study of the linear, non-homogeneous problems: (1) Pu = I in CD, an open set in RN, (2) fQjtl = gj on am (boundary of m), lor on a subset of the boundm"J am 1 v, where Pis a linear differential operator in m and where the Q/s are linear differential operators on am. In Volumes 1 and 2, we studied, for particular c1asses of systems {P, Qj}, problem (1), (2) in c1asses of Sobolev spaces (in general constructed starting from P) of positive integer or (by interpolation) non-integer order; then, by transposition, in c1asses of Sobolev spaces of negative order, until, by passage to the limit on the order, we reached the spaces of distributions of finite order. In this volume, we study the analogous problems in spaces of inlinitely dilferentiable or analytic Itlnctions or of Gevrey-type I~mctions and by duality, in spaces 01 distribtltions, of analytic Itlnctionals or of Gevrey- type ultra-distributions. In this manner, we obtain a c1ear vision (at least we hope so) of the various possible formulations of the boundary value problems (1), (2) for the systems {P, Qj} considered here.

1. We describe, at first in a very formaI manner, our essential aim. n Let m be an op en subset of R , with boundary am. In m and on am we introduce, respectively, linear differential operators P and Qj' 0 ~ i ~ 'V. By "non-homogeneous boundary value problem" we mean a problem of the following type: let f and gj' 0 ~ i ~ 'v, be given in function space s F and G , F being a space" on m" and the G/ s spaces" on am" ; j we seek u in a function space u/t "on m" satisfying (1) Pu = f in m, (2) Qju = gj on am, 0 ~ i ~ 'v"])). Qj may be identically zero on part of am, so that the number of boundary conditions may depend on the part of am considered 2. We take as "working hypothesis" that, for fEF and gjEG , j the problem (1), (2) admits a unique solution u E U/t, which depends 3 continuously on the data . But for alllinear probIems, there is a large number of choiees for the space s u/t and {F; G} (naturally linke d together). j Generally speaking, our aim is to determine families of spaces 'ft and {F; G}, associated in a "natural" way with problem (1), (2) and con j venient for applications, and also all possible choiees for u/t and {F; G} j in these families.

I. In this second volume, we continue at first the study of non homogeneous boundary value problems for particular classes of evolu tion equations. 1 In Chapter 4 , we study parabolic operators by the method of Agranovitch-Vishik [lJ; this is step (i) (Introduction to Volume I, Section 4), i.e. the study of regularity. The next steps: (ii) transposition, (iii) interpolation, are similar in principle to those of Chapter 2, but involve rather considerable additional technical difficulties. In Chapter 5, we study hyperbolic operators or operators well defined in thesense of Petrowski or Schroedinger. Our regularity results (step (i)) seem to be new. Steps (ii) and (iii) are all3.logous to those of the parabolic case, except for certain technical differences. In Chapter 6, the results of Chapter'> 4 and 5 are applied to the study of optimal control problems for systems governed by evolution equations, when the control appears in the boundary conditions (so that non-homogeneous boundary value problems are the basic tool of this theory). Another type of application, to the characterization of "all" well-posed problems for the operators in question, is given in the Ap pendix. Still other applications, for example to numerical analysis, will be given in Volume 3.
