The Cauchy problem for an inclusion in Banach spaces and distribution spaces (Q2773607)

The article is devoted to the study of well-posedness of the degenerate Cauchy problem NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \begin{alignedat}{2} &Bu'(t) = Fu(t),&&\quad t\in [0,T),\;u(0) = x, \\ &\frac{d}{dt}Bv(t) = Fv(t),&&\quad t\in [0,T),\;Bv(0) = x, \\ & \text{ker}B \neq \{0\},&&\quad T\leq\infty, \end{alignedat} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE treated as the following Cauchy problem for a differential inclusion with a multivalued linear operator \(A\): NEWLINE\[NEWLINE u'(t) \in {\mathcal A}u(t),\quad t\in [0,T),\;u(0) = x. NEWLINE\]NEWLINE The author proves a criterion for uniform correctness of the problem in terms of existence of a degenerate \(C_0\)-semigroup with generator \({\mathcal A}\) and a semigroup generated by a single-valued restriction of \({\mathcal A}\) as well as in terms of the behavior of the resolvent \(R_{\mathcal A}(\lambda)\) and the direct sum decomposition of the space \(X\), NEWLINE\[NEWLINE X = {\mathcal A}0 \oplus \overline{D(\mathcal A)}. NEWLINE\]NEWLINE This decomposition generalizes the denseness condition for the domain of the generator of a \(C_0\)-semigroup. Assuming that \(X\) possesses the decomposition NEWLINE\[NEWLINE X = {\mathcal A^{n+1}}0 \oplus X_{n+1},\quad X_{n +1} = \overline{D(\mathcal A^{n+1})}, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE the author obtains a criterion for \((n,\omega)\)-well-posedness on subsets of \(D(\mathcal A^{n+1})\) in terms of estimates for the resolvent. The local Cauchy problem and the Cauchy problem in the distribution space are also studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for \(n\)-posedness and well-posedness in the space \({\mathcal D'}(X)\) of abstract distributions in terms of weak solution operators and estimates for the resolvent. The structure of degenerate semigroups makes it possible to construct examples of degenerate semigroups from well-known semigroups of the class \(C_0\) and integrated semigroups.
