Generalized solutions of operator-differential equations (Q1104473)

Let D and x be complex Banach spaces, and let L(D,X) be the Banach space of continuous linear operators from D into X. In previous articles the author has studied existence and regularity of solutions of (1) \(\sum^{m}_{k=0}A_ kd^ ku/dt^ k=f,\) \(A_ k\in L(D,X)\), in various spaces of vector-valued generalized functions [Differ. Uravn. 13, No.9, 1588-1596 (1977; Zbl 0369.34026); Differ. Uravn. 16, No.3, 405-413 (1980; Zbl 0436.47037)]. In the present article the author extends his previous results in various directions. Firstly, he shows that if one considers equation (1) on the whole real line instead of an arbitrary interval (\(\alpha\),\(\beta)\), then it is possible to weaken the conditions in some of his previous results. Secondly, he extends his work to the case that D is densely embedded in X and the operators \(A_ k\), generally speaking, are unbounded operators. Thirdly, he applies his results to the partial differential equation a \(\partial^ mu/\partial t^ m+Bu=f\), where a is a complex number, \(m\geq 1\), B is an operator in \(X=L_ p(G)\) generated by a regular elliptic boundary problem, G is a bounded region in \(R^ n\). Also examined is the case that B is a selfadjoint positive operator in a Hilbert space X. In this case the author shows the existence of almost periodic solutions when f is almost periodic.
