Part I concerns abstract linear Cauchy problems \[ \dot u+ Au= f,\quad u(0)= u_0 \] in a Banach space \(X\). It is shown that for the well-posedness in \(L^p([0, 1],X)\) it is necessary that \(-A\) generates an analytic semigroup and it is sufficient that \(-A\) generates a differentiable semigroup and \(Ae^{-tA}u_0\) and \(A\int^t_0 e^{-(t-s)A} f(s) ds\) belong to \(L^p([0, 1];X)\). These results are applied in Part II to diagonal operators \(A\) in \(X= \ell^p(\mathbb{C})\) and in Part III to the initial-boundary value problem \[ \begin{cases} u_t- u_{xx}= f(t,x),\qquad 0< t,\;x< 1,\\ u(t,0)= u(t, 1)= 0,\\ u(0,x)= u_0(x).\end{cases}\tag{1} \] In particular, it is shown that (1) is well posed in \(L^1([0, 1],X^1)\), where \(X^1\) is continuously embeded into \(C_0([0, 1])\).
