No label defined (Q4220109)

Given Banach spaces \(U\) and \(F\) and operators \(L_k,M_k \in L(U,F)\), \(k=0,1\), the author considers the equations \[ L_0 \dot{u}=M_0 u, \qquad L_1 \dot{v} = M_1 v. \tag{1} \] Equations (1) are said to be kinematically similar if there exists a bijection \(C(t)\) between the solutions of (1) (i.e., \(u(t)=C(t)v(t)\)) such that the norms \(\| C(t)\| \) and \(\| C(t)^{-1}\| \) are uniformly bounded in \(t \in \mathbb R\). The set \(B \subset U\) is called the phase space for the equation \(L \dot{u}=M u\) whenever the Cauchy problem at \(t=0\) with initial data in \(B\) is well-posed and \(B\) contains the elements \(u(t)\), \(t \in \mathbb R\), for every solution \(u(t)\). Let equations (1) be kinematically similar. In this case, under the natural conditions on the operator functions \(L_i+ z M_i\), where \(i=0,1\) and \(z\) is a complex parameter, it is shown that the corresponding operator \(C(t)\) is an isomorphism of the phase spaces for equations (1). The proofs are based on methods of the theory of semigroups. The conditions on the operator functions \(L_i+ z M_i\) are such that the system (1) can consist of two Sobolev-type equations. The Sobolev equation itself arises in hydrodynamics and has the form \[ \frac{\partial^2 \Delta_{x,y,z} u}{\partial t^2} + \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial z^2} =0. \] For the entire collection see [Zbl 0869.00011].
