Hopf bifurcation for fully nonlinear equations in Banach space (Q1086735)

The Hopf bifurcation theorem for periodic solutions of an equation of the form: \(u'(t)=f(\lambda,u(t))\), where \(f(.,.):(-1,1)\times D\to X\) is a smooth mapping, D and X are Banach spaces, \(D\subset X\), is proved using a maximal regularity property for the linear problem: \(v'(t)=f_ x(0,0)v(t)+g(t),\) \(v(0)=v(2\pi)\), in the case the operator \(A=f_ x(0,0)\) generates an analytic semigroup in X and satisfies the usual spectral properties. The theorem is shown to be applicable to quasilinear or fully nonlinear equations of the form: \(u_ t(t,x)=\phi (\lambda,u(t,x),u_ x(t,x),u_{xx}(t,x))\) if the smooth \((C^{\infty})\) mapping \(\phi (.,.):(-1,1)\times R^ 3\to R\) satisfies appropriate conditions.
