On a new class of abstract neutral differential equations (Q647623)

The present paper is concerned with a new class of abstract neutral functional differential equations \[ u'(t)=Au(t) +f(t,u_t,u'_t), \quad u_0=\varphi \in \mathcal{B}, \] where \(A: D \subset X \to X\) is the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup, \(u_t\) takes values in an abstract Banach space \((\mathcal{B}, \|\cdot\|_\mathcal{B})\), and \(f: [0,a]\times \mathcal{B} \times \mathcal{B} \to X\) is a suitable function. The existence of mild and strict solutions is studied under some conditions. Some examples involving partial neutral differential equations are considered.
