Existence for a class of partial functional differential equations with infinite delay (Q5945656): Difference between revisions

The authors study the following class of functional-differential equations with infinite delay in a Banach space \(E\) \[ x'(t) = Ax(t) + F(t, x_t),\quad t \geq 0,\qquad x_0 = \varphi, \] where \(A\) is a closed linear operator. Existence, uniqueness and regularity results for the same class of equations were previously furnished by \textit{H. R. Henríquez} [Funkc. Ekvacioj, Ser. Int. 37, No. 2, 329--343 (1994; Zbl 0814.35141); Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 27, No. 4, 357--386 (1996; Zbl 0853.34072) and Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 28, No. 3, 513--531 (1997; Zbl 0864.35112)] in the case where \(A\) is an infinitesimal generator of a \(C_0\)-semigroup on \(E\). The aim of the present paper is to extend such existence results to the case where \(A\) is a Hille-Yosida operator with domain \(D(A)\) not necessarily dense in \(E\). The theory of integrated semigroups is the main tool used. The authors apply the result to a partial integrodifferential equation.
