Regularity of solutions of nonlinear Volterra equations (Q1397623)

Let \(X\) be a real Banach space and let \(A\) be an \(m\)-accretive operator in \(X\). Further assume that \(k: (0,\infty)\to \mathbb{R}\) is nonnegative and nonincreasing function being locally integrable over \([0,\infty)\), i.e. \(k\in L^1_{\text{loc}}([0, \infty))\). The authors consider the regularity properties of solutions of nonlinear Volterra equation \[ d/dt\Biggl(u(t)- u_0+ \int^t_0 k(t-s)(u(s)- u_0) ds\Biggr)+ Au(t)\ni f(t) \] in \(X\) without the Radon-Nikodým property. The obtained results are applied to the modelling of heat flow in materials with memory.
