Mild solutions of nonlocal semilinear evolution equations on unbounded intervals via approximation solvability method in reflexive Banach spaces (Q1998624): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors study the existence of mild solutions, in a Banach space \(E\), for the nonlocal semilinear evolution equation on an unbounded interval: \[ u(t)=A(t)u(t)+f(t,u(t)),\ t>0,\ u(0)=Mu, \] where \(A:[0,+\infty)\to\mathcal{L}(D,E)\), with \(D\subset{E}\), is a mapping such that, for any fixed \(x\in{E}\), the map \(t\mapsto{A(t)x}\) is a.e. continuous and, for any fixed \(t\in{[0,+\infty)}\), \(A(t)\) is a dissipative operator which generates a bounded, a.e. differentiable (with respect to \(t\)), and strongly continuous evolution family \({W(t,s)}_{(t,s)\in{\Delta}}, \Delta:={(t,s):0\leq s\leq t}\), and \(M\in{\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{BC}([0,+\infty),E),E)}\) is a bounded operator. If \(E\) is a reflexive Banach space with a Schauder basis (which satisfies an additional condition) and such that \(E^{*}\) is strictly convex, then, under suitable conditions, the authors prove that the above nonlocal semilinear evolution equation has a mild solution. The method of proof is based on the reduction to a finite dimensional problem by means of the projections solved by a fixed point approach that includes a compactness criterion in the space \(\mathcal{BC}([0,+\infty),E),E)\), the Andres-Górniewicz continuation principle and weak topology. The main result of this paper improves some known results from literature.
