Consider semilinear evolution equations \[ x'(t)= A(t)x+f(t,x),\quad t\in [0,T],\qquad x(0)=x_0,\tag{1} \] where \(A(t)\in D(A(t))\subset X\to X\) is a linear operator in the Banach space \(X\) for every \(t\in [0,T]\) and \(f: [0,T]\times X\to X\) is a continuous function. The authors give sufficient conditions for (1) to have at least mild solutions. The result is based on the notion of a measure of noncompactness in Banach spaces and generalizes the results of \textit{J. Banaś, A. Hajnosz} and \textit{St. Wȩdrychowicz} [Bull. Acad. Pol. Sci., Ser. Sci. Math. 29, 459-464 (1981; Zbl 0495.34033)], \textit{A. Pazy} [Isr. J. Math. 20, 23-36 (1975; Zbl 0305.47022)], \textit{T. Kato} [Spectral Theor. Differ. Equat., Proc. Symp. Dundee 1974, Lect. Notes Math. 448, 25-70 (1975; Zbl 0315.35077)] and others. Applications of the results to control theory and to elliptic equations are given.
