Mappings of higher order and nonlinear equations in some spaces of almost periodic functions (Q435116)

This paper is an interesting contribution to the area of almost periodicity. In the first part of the paper, the authors examine mappings of higher order from a general point of view, that is, in normed spaces of bounded real-valued functions defined on \(\mathbb R\). Particular attention is paid to the relation of such mappings with the so-called autonomous superposition operators. Then they investigate mappings of higher order in Banach spaces of almost periodic functions and their perturbations. They also give necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing that a nonautonomous superposition operator acts in the space of almost periodic functions in the sense of Levitan and is uniformly continuous. In the Banach space of bounded almost periodic functions in the sense of Levitan they discuss mappings of higher order and a convolution operator. Some applications to nonlinear differential and integral equations are given.
