Asymptotically almost periodic solutions of abstract retarded functional differential equations of second order (Q1041107): Difference between revisions

The paper deals with the existence of asymptotically almost periodic mild solutions of the delay Cauchy problem \[ x''(t)=Ax(t)+F(t,x_t, x'_t),\quad t\geq 0, \;x_0=\varphi,\quad x'_0=\psi \] and the existence of asymptotically almost periodic mild solutions of the semi-linear abstract retarded functional differential equation \[ x''(t)=Ax(t)+F(t,x_t, x'_t),\quad t\in{\mathbb{R}}, \] in a complex Banach space \(X,\) with infinite delay. Here, the operator \(A\) is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous cosine function of linear operators on \(X.\) To establish his existence results the author assumes that the expression \(F(t,x_t, x'_t)\) can be written in the form \(F_1(t,x_t)+F_2(t,x_t),\) with \(F_1, F_2\) satisfying appropriate conditions. An application to the non-linear wave equation with infinite delay illustrates the results.
