Mild solutions of nonlocal semilinear evolution equations on unbounded intervals via approximation solvability method in reflexive Banach spaces (Q1998624)

In this paper, the authors study the existence of mild solutions, in a Banach space \(E\), for the nonlocal semilinear evolution equation on an unbounded interval: \[ u(t)=A(t)u(t)+f(t,u(t)),\ t>0,\ u(0)=Mu, \] where \(A:[0,+\infty)\to\mathcal{L}(D,E)\), with \(D\subset{E}\), is a mapping such that, for any fixed \(x\in{E}\), the map \(t\mapsto{A(t)x}\) is a.e. continuous and, for any fixed \(t\in{[0,+\infty)}\), \(A(t)\) is a dissipative operator which generates a bounded, a.e. differentiable (with respect to \(t\)), and strongly continuous evolution family \({W(t,s)}_{(t,s)\in{\Delta}}, \Delta:={(t,s):0\leq s\leq t}\), and \(M\in{\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{BC}([0,+\infty),E),E)}\) is a bounded operator. If \(E\) is a reflexive Banach space with a Schauder basis (which satisfies an additional condition) and such that \(E^{*}\) is strictly convex, then, under suitable conditions, the authors prove that the above nonlocal semilinear evolution equation has a mild solution. The method of proof is based on the reduction to a finite dimensional problem by means of the projections solved by a fixed point approach that includes a compactness criterion in the space \(\mathcal{BC}([0,+\infty),E),E)\), the Andres-Górniewicz continuation principle and weak topology. The main result of this paper improves some known results from literature.
