Periodic solution for some class of linear partial differential equation with infinite delay using semi-Fredholm perturbations (Q2160375)

The authors study the following equation with infinite delay in a Banach space \(\mathbb{E}:\) \[ \begin{cases} \frac{d}{dt}\nu (t) = \mathcal{A} \nu(t) + L(\nu_t) + g(t), \quad t \geq 0, \\ \nu_0 = \varphi \in \mathcal{B}, \end{cases} \] where \(\nu_t(\theta) = \nu(t + \theta)\), \(\theta\in(-\infty, 0]\) belongs to the Hale-Kato phase space \(\mathcal{B}\) of functions \(\psi \colon (-\infty,0] \to \mathbb{E}\); \(L \colon \mathcal{B} \to \mathbb{E}\) is a bounded linear operator; \(g \colon \mathbb{R}^+ \to \mathbb{E}\) is a continuous \(\omega\)-periodic function and \(\mathcal{A}\) is not necessarily densely defined linear operator on \(\mathbb{E}\) satisfying the Hille-Yosida condition. By using the theory of perturbations of semi-Fredholm operators, fixed point methods and basing on a priori bounds of the norm \(|L|\), the authors deduce sufficient conditions under which the presence of a bounded solution to the above problem yields the existence of a periodic solution. A particular case when the operator \(\mathcal{A}\) can be decomposed into the sum of a generator of a \(C_0\)-semigroup and a compact operator is considered. Some examples from the sphere of partial differential equations are given.
