Conditional stability and periodicity of solutions to evolution equations (Q2064537)

The authors first prove the existence and uniqueness of periodic mild solutions to a first-order linear nonautonomous differential equation in a Banach space. The key assumption is that the time dependent linear operators governing the equation generate a strongly continuous, exponentially bounded evolution family. A related semilinear evolution equation is next considered. Finally, applications of the theory to exponentially dichotomic evolution families, and nonautonomous damped wave equations are given.
