Hölder continuous solutions of second order degenerate differential equations with finite delay (Q667741)

The presented work studies the second order degenerate differential equation with finite delay in the form \[ (Mu)''(t) = Au(t) +Fu_t +f(t), \text{ for }t\in \mathbb{R}, \] where \( A \) and \( M \) are closed linear operators on a complex Banach space \( X \) satisfying the condition \( D(A)\cap D(M) \neq\{0\}, 0<\alpha <1 \) is fixed, and \( F \) is a bounded linear operator from \( C([-r,0];X ) \) into \( X \) for some fixed \( r >0 \), and \( u_t \) is the t-shift of \( u \) defined on \( [-r,0] \) by \( u_t(s)=u(t+s) \). The authors generalize results on well-posedness of the test equation defining the \( C^{\alpha}\)-well-posedness of the second order degenerate differential equation with finite delay. Interesting applications and a recent rich list of literature related to the problem are given.
