Smooth invariant foliations in infinite dimensional spaces (Q1181686)

The authors consider the semilinear evolutionary equation \((du/dt)+Au=F(u,\lambda)\), where \(u\in Z\) and \(\lambda\in \Lambda\) is a parameter, with \(Z\) and \(\Lambda\) being Banach spaces. Under suitable hypotheses upon the linear operator \(A\) and the nonlinear term \(F\) one proves the existence and the uniqueness of a \(C^ k\) \(\gamma\)-unstable manifold \({\mathcal W}^ u_ \gamma\) and of an invariant foliation of the space \(Z^{\theta_ 1}\equiv\text{dom} (A+aI)^{\theta_ 1}\), for some constants \(a\) and \(\theta_ 1\), whose leaves are \(\gamma\)-stable and transverse to the invariant manifold \({\mathcal W}^ u_ \gamma\). These results imply the center-unstable manifold theorem and the inertial manifold theorem.
