Abstract: In this paper, we present two quite general approximation theorems for the propagators of higher order (in time) abstract Cauchy problems, which extend largely the classical Trotter-Kato type approximation theorems for strongly continuous operator semigroups and cosine operator functions. Then, we apply the approximation theorems to deal with the second order dynamical boundary value problems.
