We shall highlight some of the main ideas and methods behind the theory and will also aim to provide some background on the main concept in the manuscript: the notion of so-called (formula presented) dating back to Picard in the seminal paper (Picard, Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 32, 1768–1803 (2009)); see also (Picard and McGhee, Partial differential equations: A unified Hilbert space approach, Chapter 6, vol. 55.
