Invariant spaces and dichotomies of solutions of a class of linear equations of the Sobolev type (Q1390479)

The invariant subspaces and dichotomies of solutions of the equation \[ L\dot u= Mu \] are investigated. It is considered the case when the operator \(L\) is irreversible, in particular, when \(\ker L\neq\{0\}\). The example \[ (\lambda- \Delta)u_t= \alpha\Delta u- \beta\Delta^2u \] which demonstrates existence of exponential instability is given.
