On the correct formulation of a nonlinear differential equation in Banach spaces (Q5954801)

Here, using the Banach contraction principle, the authors prove existence and uniqueness of solutions to initial value problems for the nonlinear differential equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\frac{d^{n-1}}{dt^{n-1}}(\frac{du}{dt}+Au)=B(t)u+f(t,W),NEWLINE\]NEWLINE considered in a Banach space. The continuous dependence of a solution on the initial conditions is established. An application to partial differential equations is also presented.
