On the differentiability of weak solutions of an abstract evolution equation with a scalar type spectral operator on the real axis (Q2330262)

Summary: Given the abstract evolution equation \(y'(t) = A y(t)\), \(t \in \mathbb{R},\) with \textit{scalar type spectral operator} \(A\) in a complex Banach space, found are conditions \textit{necessary and sufficient} for all \textit{weak solutions} of the equation, which a priori need not be strongly differentiable, to be strongly infinite differentiable on \(\mathbb{R}\). The important case of the equation with a \textit{normal operator} \(A\) in a complex Hilbert space is obtained immediately as a particular case. Also, proved is the following inherent smoothness improvement effect explaining why the case of the strong finite differentiability of the weak solutions is superfluous: if every weak solution of the equation is strongly differentiable at \(0\), then all of them are strongly infinite differentiable on \(\mathbb{R}\).
