Lions' maximal regularity problem with \(H^{\frac{1}{2}}\)-regularity in time (Q1710550): Difference between revisions

The authors investigate J. L. Lions's problem concerning maximal regularity of the Cauchy problem for abstract non-autonomous differential equations in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ \[ u'(t)+A(t)u(t)=f(t) \ (0 < t\le \tau), \quad u(0)=u_0, \] with $\mathcal{V}=D(A(t))$ being independent of $t$. It is shown that for forms satisfying the uniform Kato square root property and an integrability condition, if $t \mapsto \mathcal{A}(t)$ is piecewise in the Sobolev space $H^{\frac{1}{2}}(0, \tau ; \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{V},\mathcal{V}'))$ then maximal $L^2$-regularity in $\mathcal{H}$ is satisfied.
