contents We present in a unified setting the foundations for a theory of non-bilinear Dirichlet functionals on Hilbert spaces. We prove known and new equivalences between non-linear semigroups, non-linear resolvents, non-linear generators, and their energy functionals, including a complete characterization of Markovianity. We introduce and characterize strong notions of invariance for general lower semicontinuous convex functionals, and notions of locality and strong locality for non-bilinear Dirichlet functionals. Contrary to many partial results in the literature, these characterizations are complete and correctly extend the analogous assertions for the bilinear case in full generality.
