Non-autonomous Miyadera perturbations (Q5933749)

The authors study time-dependent perturbations of a nonautonomous linear Cauchy problem in a Banach space \(X\). The results extend several facts proven by \textit{F. Räbiger}, \textit{A. Rhandi} and \textit{R. Schnaubelt}, [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 198, No. 2, 516-533 (1996; Zbl 0884.47017)]. Theorem 2.4 extends theorem 3.4 of the reference above, giving an abstract characterization of evolution semigroups which is used to obtain the result in section 3. Theorem 3.4 extends theorem 4.2 of the reference above, demonstrating the existence of a mild solution to a nonautonomous version of the Miyadera condition, specifically: There are dense subspaces \(Y_t\), \(t\in I\), of \(X\) such that \(U(t, s)Y_s\subseteq Y_t\) for \((t,s)\in d\), for all \(s\in I\) and \(y\in Y_s\) we have \(U(t,s)y\in D(B(t))\) for almost every \(t\in I\cap [s,\infty)\), \(B(\bullet)U(\bullet, s)y\) is measurable, and NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\int^\alpha_0 \chi_I(s+ t)\|B(s+ t)U(s+ t,s)y\|^p dt\leq \beta^b\|y\|^p,NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(I\) is a left half-open interval in \(\mathbb{R}\), \((U(t,s))_{(t, s)\in D}\) is an exponential bounded evolution family on \(X\), \(D= \{(t, s)\in I\times I: t\geq s\}\), \(B\) is the perturbation operator, \(p,p'\geq 1\) such that \({1\over p}+{1\over p'}= 1\), \(\alpha> 0\) and \(\beta\geq 0\) such that \(\alpha^{{1\over p'}}\beta< 1\). Theorem 4.2 of this article provides stronger regularity properties of the solution. In proposition 5.1, theorem 4.2 is applied to yield the existence for a certain second-order parabolic partial differential equation with mixed boundary conditions, and generalizes example 4.6 of the reference above.
