On the operator equation \(AX-XB=C\) with unbounded operators \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) (Q1599600)

Let \(E\), \(F\) be Banach spaces and let \(A\) and \(B\) be generators of \(C_0\) semigroups of operators \((T_t)_{t\geq 0}\) and \((S_t)_{t\geq 0}\) given on \(E\) and \(F\), respectively. Further, let \(C: F\to E\) be an operator such that \(D(B)\subset D(C)\) and \(C(\lambda- B)^{-1}\) is bounded for \(\lambda\in \rho(B)\). Under some additional assumptions, it is shown that the operator equation \(AX- XB= C\) has a bounded solution. This result is applied to show the existence and regularity of solutions to the nonhomogeneous Cauchy problem \(u'(t)= Au(t)+ f(t)\) with \(f\in L^p(\mathbb{R}, E)\).
