On the solvability of fourth-order boundary value problems with accretive operators (Q6047283)

In this paper, the authors consider an abstract fourth order boundary value problem where the coefficients are accretive operators in a Hilbert space. They show existence, uniqueness and maximal regularity of the solution under some necessary and sufficient conditions on the data. They give an explicit representation formula, using analytic semigroups, sectorial operators with bounded imaginary powers, the theory of strongly continuous cosine operator functions and the perturbation theory of m-accretive operators. An illustrative example is also given. These results can be seen an improvement of some recent results in the literature.
