A method of iterations for quasi-linear evolution equations in nonreflexive Banach spaces (Q749744): Difference between revisions

The authors investigate the Cauchy problem for an abstract quasi-linear evolution equation (CP) of the form \(du(t)/dt+A(t,u(t))u(t)=f(t,u(t)),\) \(0\leq t\leq T\), \(u(0)=u_ 0\), in a pair of nonreflexive Banach spaces \(X\supset Y\). The existence of a unique \(C^ 1\)-solution of (CP) is proved. The method of proof is based on the theory of linear evolution equations and a \(C^ 1\)-solution is constructed by the method of successive approximations. The authors extend the earlier results of \textit{N. Sanekata} [Hiroshima Math. J. 19, 109-139 (1989)].
