On regularity of solutions to \(n\)-order differential equations of parabolic type in Banach spaces (Q1343883)

The authors establish some parabolicity conditions for the initial value problem \[ u^{(n)}(t)+ A_{n- 1} u^{(n- 1)}(t)+\cdots+ A_ 1 u'(t)+ A_ 0 u(t)= f(t),\tag{P} \] \(u^{(k)}(0)= u_ k\), \(k= 0,\dots, n- 1\). Here \(t\in [0, T]\), \(u\in X\) and \(A_ j\) are closed linear operator in the complex Banach space \(X\). First, the authors prove the existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions of the problem (P) by transforming it to a first order system. Next, a direct approach to the problem (P) that is based on the use of a polynomial operator pencil \(P(z)= \sum^ n_{j= 0} z^ j A_ j\), \(A_ n= I\), is developed. The paper contains a number of examples and applications to partial differential equations.
